This was informitive
OYE RAJELENA" TE QUEDA MUCHO POR APRENDER🤣
Like slang, appropriately spoken. Growing up in Jersey.then moving to Tejas, wow! Mucho differetante. If that's a word.lol
The rasp of the "rr" in some parts of the island it's because there were influences from the French and some other European countries.
I do the rasp in "arroz" for ex rasp the "rr" and eat out the "z". You could hear these strong nuances and accent in the south like Guayama, P. R. Also the accent it's going to be varied in different parts of the arquipielagus. Happy research!
Hola amigo i am Mexican American and I’m learning Spanish again but I really want to learn how to understand every time of slang in Spanish like Puerto Rican’s Dominicans Cubans and everywhere
when I hear Puerto Ricans speak, I often imagine it like the waves of the ocean. It moves up and down with such beautiful melody.
That was deep that moved me
That's a good way to put it
I feel better now. It’s not me! It’s you! 😂 Sounds a bit like Québec French. We cut out everything and it becomes hard to understand for non native speakers.
Puerto Rican here and I agree. My parents regret not teaching me Spanish because I struggled learning it as an adult. I can "hear" it in my head but my pronounciatons are terrible when it comes out of my mouth.....I don't know if I'll ever find that natural wave when I try to speak Spanish.
@@courtneyd4098 I'm glad I'm not alone! I tend to speak quick to people, but I hear my mistakes. And I don't sound like a native speaker in the slightest.
But I do love the language, and I LOVE to hear Puerto Ricans speak. It especially warms my heart.
We season our Spanish. Sazon y adobo! Add some pica and that’s what’s up
Claro!
Es porqué te pica 🤣🤣🤣
Adobo es una famosa comida aqui en Filipinas
@@ronilochavez9753 si,ese es mi faborito,I just want to ask pls why Puerto Rican spanish is silent "S"?
Can Bearly Understand Yall half the time! sound like a automatic pistol lol
I love Puerto Rican accent 😍
puelto rico
you know what? me too!
Eyyyy I’m Puertorican 😂
It is hard to understand but it I like it too
🇵🇷💫
Me: *Starts liking a puerto rican*
Also me: I'm learning Spanish now :)
𝕶
same
Same☺️
Same sis 😂
I was trying to look for this comment bc same😂
half puerto rican and sooo lost but so amazed, and also mad at my mom for never caring to teach us lol
Same, but my mom is American so I never got the chance to learn Spanish, so I have to go through the crappy highschool classes to learn it and just found out the alphabet we learned is actually Spain's version
Facts bro!! 🙄
I’ve been around my husband speaking it for 20 years now and now, trying to take classes to improve my understanding of future tense and increase fluency is so difficult because I feel like I speak a different language than Babel Spanish. Holy cow, the dialect is so different! But loooove it.
my two sons dad is Puerto Rican and he never taught them lol so their watching this videos as well lol I agree for their sake
Same here, dad never taught me and I feel so disconnected from the culture
- The R's at the end and before consonants are turned into L's.
Comer --> comel (to eat) | Cortina --> Coltina (curtain)
- The S's are not completely omitted, they are actually aspirated or/and have a slight glottal stop when they are preceded by consonants.
I liked the video haha 🤣 keep it up! 👌🏽👌🏽
Yess im puertorican and most of the time instead or saying gas we say gaj. We substitute the s for a j
Yes bro! Most American raised puerto ricans can’t aspirate their S sounds and sound more Dominican.
I never noticed the L and R sound lol so true!!!
hambelgel :v
@@j.echevarria8630 actually, many Dominicans have strong S's
Incredible video!! I’m Puerto Rican but was never taught Spanish from my mom. PLEASE do a series of videos on Puerto Rican Spanish. You made me proud of my heritage today hermano
I'm in the same boat here hehe
Same with me.
Same
Same here, I'd love to see it!
Same
I love it! Makes me miss my grandparents so much. 🇵🇷🇨🇺🇩🇴 I love our Caribbean accents because they so perfectly express the warmth and enthusiasm of our people 🙂
Saludos. So in these three countries 🇵🇷🇩🇴🇨🇺, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Cuba the language spoken is Spanish. And the dialects and accents somewhat different from dialect spoken in Spain?
@@ZulkifliJamil4033-x6s Yes, like in all Latin American countries the Antilles are heavily influenced by indigenous cultures and languages, in our case Taino, as well as the fact that our islands were not in the administrative regions of the Spanish empire so the language developed separately for a time and was influenced more by the southern Spanish accents from Andalusia and the Canary Islands than the Madrid/Toledo variety. In the Antilles we use a lot of words of Taino origin.
Interestingly enough, I think Puerto Rican music is the best to learn Spanish from. The accent is so pretty and the accent seems so clear in music. However the Puerto Rican accent is very distinctive. Even among the other Caribbean dialects I find Puerto Rican Spanish to be unique. Growing up, my mom spoke the Colombian dialect and always enunciated every phonetic sound in Spanish. Her Spanish seemed very neutral to me. I am more fascinated with the Spanish accents that have a little bit of character.
En hecho, los acentos puertorriqueños y venezolanos son similares. Yo creo que esos acentos son algunos de mis favoritos. Buen video ☺️
Melissa Cooks i think so too
Melissa’s Kitchen the accent is not pretty but ok 🤣🤣 Spain is better
Any artists you recommend? I don't know of any.
JoslynnBre123 Believe it or not, Marc Anthony’s music is incredible in Spanish
Melissa’s Kitchen is it really
I’ve lived here all my life and I never notice a difference with my accent and other Caribbean accents
Maybe it’s cause my mom taught me English since I was a kid
I want this accent BADLY. I love it because it has so much character to it. I’d buy this program just to learn this. I wanted to learn the Dominican dialect at first, but I’m in love with this particular accent.
Yes I love it too! I've been doing more of my videos in Puerto Rican Spanish so just watch those videos and overtime it will click for you :)
You’ll pick it up guaranteed if you hang out with a bunch of Puerto Ricans like me 😂
Yeah you don’t want the Dominican accent trust me 😂😂😂
@@kaizersose7437Bruh, it’s not even that different from the PR accent 😂
@@fivestarplaying3553 yes tf it is 🤣🤣 do you even have ears?
yo soy boricua 🇵🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️
i luv my puerto rican ppl. This vid was also accurate asf 😂 we really do have our or spanish
Haha same here! Especially during the holidays when you get to link up with all your crazy family members lol. Thanks for watching!
Wepaaa🇵🇷🇵🇷🎉
Lucky
Thank you! I come from a Puerto Rican family, but I've only ever lived in the continental US, and my parents didn't teach me Spanish when I was little. Now I'm trying to learn fluent Spanish, and I want to speak it the way my parents do.
Same😩😩😩
Samee
Relatable
i’m in the same exact situation and i’ve always wondered why my dad pronounced it as “cajo” instead of carro and he never knew how to explain it to me bc that’s just how he was taught 😭 good luck to all of you
ay same!!!!
PLEASEEEE continue making more videos about pr accent 😭 I’m pr and I barely kno Spanish , I’m currently learning !
Pretty sad
Is nothing wrong with that, I still have trouble understanding my family.🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Felicia Adams i know spanish but i dont have the accent pretty sad im puerto Rican
too
Same. I was bullied a lot when I was younger because I acted white or wasn't Puerto Rican enough. I let people bully me out of my heritage. Decided in my 30's to finally start learning.
You're not alone. Im PR, grew up with parents that never really spoke spanish in the home. So Im pretty much left to my own devices. Im 43 yrs old and still catching up. This vid is pretty cool. I got some good laughs too.
As a Puerto Rican, this video helped me understand why I can’t understand anyone else’s Spanish except ours 🤣
I moved to Puerto Rico 3 years ago and I’m still learning new words all the time. Truly no one speaks Spanish like the people on the island
I listen to a lot of daddy Yankee, Anuel , and lunay so this was quite easy for me to learn . I’m used to hearing it
And you feel in love with us Bori lol
Those are not good examples to learn PR Spanish... Marc Anthony is a better option.
Me, Myself & I well im not that into learning it, just curious. im Mexican and fluent in Spanish so im not trying to be someone im not and talk PR . my boyfriend is Puerto Rican and he sounds exactly like Anuel and it’s hard to under stand him sometimes but I got used to it
@@haleyvargas658 but we're all Latinos so it's not about being something you're not rather it's just acquiring knowledge about our "cousins" so to speak lol. My wife is Mexican and im Puerto Rican we both love learning each others differences language wise and over all culture wise. The best part is the food! It's the best of both worlds! I love Mexican food and she loves Puerto Rican food so life is good! All the best 👍
Lu lu lunay
I grew up English first, learning Spanish later. Always had language issues b/c the Spanish I know/heard growing up directly conflicts with Spanish as I learned in school. I think you just completely fixed the problem for me, it all just fell together. No wonder I always thought I could never get it right, I had two entirely different dialects fighting against each other. I can't express how thankful I am for this video.
Same it's annoying I'm Puerto Rican to and I wish I was just born in Puerto Rico 😅
Same exact story here.
While us Puerto Rican’s have our own “native dialect” our accent and many words stem from Andalucía and the Canary Islands. It’s like a cool mix and if you hear the Andalusian and canario accents is extremely similar as you can barely tell the difference lmao. It’s very cool
True my great grampa moved to PR from Montenegro Spain it's in Andalusia when I figured out that the PR accent originated from Southern Spain it made sense. Lots of migrants from Andalusia to the PR idk why.
Puerto Ricans visiting Spain are sometimes thought to be Canarians due to the similarity of ascents. BTW There are Spaniards who do not speak Spanish as their mother tongue. They Speak Basque or Catalan.
My dad got such a strong Puerto Rican accent.. he grew up in Ceiba and every time he speaks to me I’m like.. huh? Cuz I was used to a Colombian accent
I was born and raised in Switzerland where nobody speak spanish.but the only thing what I'm sure is,puerto rican accent is exactly what I want to hear.🇨🇭🇵🇷
I visited Puerto Rico a week ago. I loved how friendly and happy most people were. Would love to go back 🥰
Yes, Puerto Rico is amazing!
You explained it perfectly...
Saludos desde PR 🇵🇷
Muchas Gracias Mia!
A little Puertorican history, Puerto Rico was colonized by the Spaniards of Gran Canaria. The name Puerto Rico comes from Gran Canary’s most beautiful beach coast village also named Puerto Rico. Spaniards from Gran Canaria mix the R’s for L’s and lots of other cultural norms from Canaria islands are found in Puertorican culture as well.
Yup and even before the canarians they were southern spaniards who spoke similar and do the thing with the Rs and Ls as well. We also have corsican/french ancestry which is the reason we think some Puerto Ricans pronounce the R like a J. Like Perro = Pejo for example.
Exactly!!!!!'n🙌🏼
Thank You.
You're right about the great influence about the Canary Islands on Puerto Rico including how similar we speak. But, McScuse me?? The name Puerto Rico comes from where?? The place you refer to in Gran Canaria is a resort built in the 60's which was named AFTER the island of Puerto Rico. Like every Puerto Rican knows, when Europeans arrived in the island they named it "San Juan Bautista" Puerto Rico wasn't even in plans. The first city in the island of San Juan Bautista was Caparra (now Guaynabo). They moved the city to where Old San Juan is, and named it Puerto Rico (Rich Port) because all the gold from the new world had to go through that city before being shipped to Spain. Then the island and city swapped name and son on ....
Canarians came much later, right about the 18th Century
My mom is from Spain. I was born and raised in Hawaii but now I’m living in Barcelona, Spain and I’m doing an intensive course in Spanish language. This video was fascinating. Gracias
I'm in love with the Puertorican accent. The only reason why I'm learning Spanish. There's not enough out there. I enjoyed your video, please make more :) WEPA! 💖🇵🇷
It's hard to learn and understand but you can always speak normal Spanish to Puerto Ricans, they will definitely understand you. WEEEPAAA
My favorite accent is the Puerto Rican accent. My family is Mexican and we have a very distinctive accent and way of speaking, so it sounds like home to me. But I've come to think of Puerto Rico as somewhere I might have had a former life lol
@Leo Leon I absolutely don't agree with you at all. Language changes and adapts and always has throughout history. One is not worse than the other and the purpose of language is to communicate. English speakers cut tons of letter sounds off of words. Do we really pronounce the "g" in words like "through" or "thought"? I'm fully aware of some Latinos passing judgement on other dialects, I've heard it my entire life, mostly from older generations. We learn our language from those we grow up with or are surrounded with and I think it's a strength to be able to understand different dialects and ways of speaking. I'd hate for us all to sound the same. I love that I can understand a dialect from Mexico, Argentina, Spain, Colombia or Caribbean Spanish. It's as interesting and as diverse as we Latinos are. One more thought, our current English would be seen as uneducated and vulgar by early speakers of English as we know it. We couldn't even understand the way they spoke now because it has changed so much over time. That's how language works.
Sorry you see things that way. I don’t agree but you’re allowed your own opinion.
Leo Leon yeah I can see u rlly don’t know nothing the PR accent comes directly from Spain specially Andalucía and canary island. Do u think Jamaican English is bad too? Bruh there are so many variable for a dialect be what it is
@Leo Leon the only people that can actually judge are those from Spain. To them they're the original speakers, so Mexican Spainish is not as good for them. Or saying wey at the end.
@Leo Leon I sense some anger and negativity towards Puerto Ricans and other Caribbean Latinos. The way you spoke so negatively about them and even went out your way to say they are basically uneducated and put emphasis on Afro influences. The fact is Spain is the motherland in terms of the way spanish is spoken and I have a few neighbors that are from Spain and they don't hold such a harsh opinion of Puerto Rican Spanish. In fact they point out similarities because Puerto Rican Spanish that is heavily influenced by canarian spanish from Spain. Mexicans have alot of words and phrases that no other Latinos use and don't understand. I have friends from Columbia and Venezuela and I can understand them like our PR spanish and other Caribbean Spanish in general(Cuban and Dominican). In fact Mexican spanish was the most difficult in the sense of dialect and words used that nobody else uses. My wife is Mexican and I learned alot and appreciate and like alot of the slang and dialects of Mexican spanish. I love and respect all Latinos and we're all brothers and sisters so to speak and were all founded similarly through history. All the best 👍
Puerto Rican Spanish , is like the hip hop culture English , Transcending .
in the . hood we gat hip hop in Puerto Rico we gat reggeaton . They both influences the style of speaking for both English and Spanish .
I love that ppl appreciate Puerto Rican accents and spanish. I'm Puerto rican and when I was in school, I always felt like it was easy to understand other hispanics but many peers were quick to point out that my accent was weird. I feel most comfortable speaking to Cubans and dominicans because of this. Yet the comments are refreshing
Thisss Mexicans LOVE to look down on Puerto Ricans but I always felt much love for pr and feel we should stand up to the colonizers as united even if we do speak differently ❤🤍💙
I had just finished listening to someone saying we Boricuas speak in a sing song-y way & I didn't know what he was talking about until I heard him in the beginning of the video talking our accent. I laughed so hard! Dale Bori!
I've been taking Spanish lessons and plan to move to Puerto Rico. After watching this I wish I could find a place that teaches just Puerto Rican Spanish.
I grew up very estranged from my Puerto Rican father and so I fell more into my mom’s side of the family and Jamaican culture, but I’ve always wanted to get closer to my pr heritage and am so made at my father for never teaching me and my brothers. Thank you for making this video, it means a lot to me and kids like me
Muchas gracias por ver :) Te aprecio!
I was smiling through this whole video! My husband in from PR and, while I speak *almost* fluent Spanish, I learned Mexican Spanish and couldn't understand his family. The first time I went to PR, by the end of 2 weeks I was finally able to sort of follow the conversation. "Va pa ca" instead of "vaya/vas para aca" is my favorite Puerto Rican shortcut LOL. We have a daughter now and I have to try to remember the "right" way to say a lot of words - haha! Great video!
Haha thanks so much :) I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback.
Dues that mean go here/come here?
I’m 🇯🇲 and my husband is 🇵🇷! WEPPPAAA. I loveeeeee the PR culture. One of the reasons I fell in love with him!! Very proud that my kids are a part of something so special. 🥰 I’m in the process of learning the PR slang. HELP! Lol
haha I got you!
This is so eye-opening for me. I've studied Spanish regularly first over 20 years and couldn't figure out why I get so stuck in the middle of conversations.
So helpful...think you so much!!!
I’m learning to speak Spanish because I’m Puerto Rican but the problem is that all my teachers are Mexican or Spanish and all my friends are Guatemalan
I know how you feel. I'm Panamanian American and I live in the inner city where most of my friends are Puerto Rican or Mexican
my best friend is puerto rican and i’m irish/british but i’m trying to learn so i can speak spanish with her family ^^
same all my friends are mexicano so i've grew up with mexican spanish and i feel so uncultured 😭
I took Spanish 1-4 in high school to help me feel more comfortable speaking and writing it, and there were some words that translate differently in Puerto Rico than the Spanish we were learning, which was Mexican, so words like "cake", "dessert", "trash can" were different to how I know them. I'd ask my teacher about it (she was Cuban), and she wouldn't know what I was talking about, so I had to teach myself how to use some different words for certain things, which was annoying.
@@gasolean5114 well go on RUclips. You’ll find a lot of material but you can still continue learning Spanish from your Mexican or Spaniard teacher the base is the same but there will be regional words that are different. Oh! Remember Spanish is a language, the correct word is Spaniard.
Love this. I’m not Latino but I’ve studied spanish for 11 years using nothing but books and rules. Thanks for breaking down some of the other phrases I didn’t even know existed. This has some swag to it fasho. ✊🏾 Lol
Tbh I prefer the puerto rican accent, is also sound more friendly
I loved this video. With my Spanish I began to adopt some of the aspects of the Puerto Rican accent, and I like it
I’m not Puerto Rican but grew up around Puerto Rican’s and whenever I speak Spanish someone asks me if I am PuertoRican I finally know why.
I love this! I love being Puerto Rican and I love our accent so much!
:) Me TOO!
I love hearing our language. I will definitely be watching your channel for more lessons. Thanks for sharing. 😊🇵🇷
Thanks so much for watching :)
What's funny is I'm Dominican but when I go to DR I'm LOST lol in Puerto Rico I have no problem at all communicating.
????
I lived in Puerto planta for 3 years, I always spoke with the Puerto Rican accent because of my stepmother pero it only took me like a month to catch on two different words. Really was no major difference, I just had to stop cutting off a lot of my words.
Soy de Mexico but listen to Rauw Alejandro, he taught me a lot
I love your videos. I’m Guatemalan American and my Spanish, even though I’ve been speaking it at home with my mother, it was still broken Spanish. When I started working as a nurse I have a coworker that is Puerto Rican and I have patients that come from the DR and PR. It helped me with practicing the language and I’m starting to develop the PR Spanish. I know most of your slangs! I appreciate your videos. It really helped me understand Caribbean Spanish more 😁
Explains why the people I work with call me "Welley"
Thanks for the video! Will definitely help me communicate with my coworkers better.
I figured. Wesley is always pronounced as Wehly in Puerto Rico.
Honestly, the accent comes from the Andalucian accent because they were the sailors from Spain that influenced the islands and coastal regions. Cubans have similar accents.
Just when I thought I was starting to understand 🥴
ikr....i feel like i have learned nothing after all these months of studying
Olivia Perkins for us native speakers it’s way way easier plus I hang with people from pr so it’s even easier I hear it often but my Spanish it’s Mexican Spanish but I’ve formed it more into neutral but I can alternate depending where I’m at
Lemon26 i hang with people from pr as well but it’s still hard for me to understand them. I understand México Spanish better. Are you learning Spanish as well or do you already know it?
@@Oliviaolp You can always speak to us normal Spanish, we understand but probably you'll get an answer in Puerto Rican Spanish.
I was just hanging around a lot of
Boricua and proud! Wepa! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Hola Wepa.
Louis Banks lmao do you know what Wepa means??? 😂
@@juliantorres5138 it's a slang word that means piasano (countryman) someone of the same race. Fellow Puerto Rican brethren
Louis Banks oh. I usually use it when I get excited. Like when something cool happens I’ll be like WEEEEPPPPAAAAAA
@@juliantorres5138 oh in philly when we see or talk to another Boricua. Like yo bro what's up. Como, Hola wepa que te haciendo, papi? 🇵🇷
I’m a proud Ecuadorian and I love my Spanish. I’m Watching this video to UNDERSTAND BAD BUNNY my favorite artist 😂
Nice! I think everybody (including myself) has requested this video from you😆 I'm not Puerto Rican, but my aunt turned me onto Salsa Clásica and I've always been keen on how different folks like Hector Lavoe or Ishmael Miranda sound like from other artists or Spanish-speakers (especially since I'll be listening to Asalto Navideño non-stop this holiday season).
🇵🇷 beautiful!! I am trying to learn Spanish and would love to have this accent. So beautiful! You have a new subscriber 🙏 thank you so much for all these videos.
Imagínate, tengo un padre dominicano y una madre cubana. Para mí, acento Puertorriqueño es muy difícil. Pero me encanta tu video. Tus vídeos son duros. Sigue así mano.
..padre dominicano ...se comen la s manin, eta en vez de esta...madre cubana asere, se comen r...pueta, pueco
Boricua cambia r por l al igual que los de D.R. y Cuba.😁✌️
El acento dominicanos es peor que el puerto rico.
@@torresangel753 generalmente o estás hablando de algo diferente?
Puerto Rican Spanish is the only Spanish I understand the most lol since I grew up with my grandmother who was from Puerto Rico. The part about the English words is sooo true. And there’s certain words like blue jeans where we say “mahones” or pantalla for “earrings” instead of “screen” like other countries. It’s definitely unique for sure!! Great video. I’m rusty since I don’t have anyone to speak with so I’ll be referring back to this video for sure!
Gracias por ver!
I swear this is the best video on RUclips if you have no idea how to speak or understand Spanish but want to learn it. This is in a cool way. It’s the cool teacher you had in school.
Puerto Rican accent is amazing and so interesting! Favourite accent!
I think you should make the Dominican video and continue with the Puerto Rican videos.
I agree, please have more!
I fit in for being Puerto Rican tho because I can't roll my R's and I love Puerto Rican tho even know I am Honduran
Love to the bright light that is Latin America from the UK. Los quiero 🇬🇧💙🇵🇷🇨🇺🇲🇽🇩🇴
I know many Puerto Ricans in my community here in upstate NY, and am exposed to their brand of spanish. I'm slowly starting to pick up on the sounds. Thanks for this great vid.
That's great Donald! Thanks so much for watching!
I was born and raised Puerto Rico with a Panamanian mother so she used to correct me and my dad with the way we spoke Spanish to the point where I would speak in a slightly neutral accent growing up. I used to get bullied a lot for using the R’s and S’s to the point where I adapted and spoke more like the other kids rather than how my mom wanted me to speak.
I came here because I couldn't understand many of Bad Bunny's words lol
😂😂😂
Lmao same here, this explains so much now 🤣
ok its not just me 😂
Reading the lyrics and trying to sing it hurts my brain because of the Puerto Rican Spanish
😂😂 same!!
please make more videos on the puerto rican accent!! i am in the process of learning & i really want to speak with puerto rican accent; i love how unique the cadence is & the rhythm of how everything flows :)
I’m Puerto Rican and I’m learning Spanish and this is perfect
I know some Spanish but I'm taking Spanish class rn to learn more. In class, we learned that "buscar" meant to look for... My parents are from PR so I was really confused and kept defining it as "to get." It makes sense now...
OUR ACCENT IS CALLED BOZAL. ITS INFLUENCED BY THE AFRICAN ALPHABET WHERE THERE IS NO S OR R AND BLENDED WITH CANARIAN ISLANDS ACCENT AND FLOW. ANYTHING ENDING WITH DO CHANGES TO AO. EXAMPLE: CIERRA LA PUELTA CON CANDAO. OR ETOY CANSAO DEL TRABAJO. OUR ACCENT IS THE HARDEST AND MOST UNIQUE.
Ayeee #Puertoricansquad Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Me as a Mexican i want to speak like a Dominican/Puerto Rican
Same
You should learn some urban music hahaha
Hispanic here and I love the PR accent. Me encantaria aprender hablar como los PR's. I am fascinated by it
Jose Chicas: I know TOO many Mexicans who do not want to speak like a Dominican. Especially those from Northern Mexico. Are you a Mexican American?
@@berthachavez439 my little cousin posted this but yes hes from northern Mexico
We need more puerto rican Spanish tutorials!
Love this ! Now I understand why I learned this way. Can you please do another episode of Puerto Rican Spanish with the English translation a lot of the words you mentioned I did not remember
This was great. I was a Spanish teacher and had students from many Spanish speaking countries. It was so much fun, especially when I worked at a private school with international kids. We had to basically agree to disagree and accept that in school the Spanish had to be more neutral and more Castilian. Love what you are teaching here. I am Puerto Rican and our mom did not want us to sound como los jibaros so she taught us proper Spanish as she called it. We spoke a Spanish that was easier for other Hispanics to understand . However when we got together with other friends or family visiting we easily picked up the island dialect 😄. Been to la isla del encanto several times and everyone was loving as long as you stayed in the safe zones, not La Perla, especially if you look too guerra and look like a tourist! Had to have a word in Spanish with the taxi driver from the airport who tried to take the long route to our guest house 🤨 😂he apologized for ten minutes!! Told me I should have told I was PR because he couldn’t tell. I told him to be honest and Godly and he would have less trouble!!
After watching your video, I've seen many similarities with Brazilian Portuguese sounds and that made it easier for me to pronounce some words!
Thanks for this awesome video!
Glad it was helpful amigo :)!
Caio Vancocelos, especially the R. (I call it the "the ugly R"). You won't hear it in a formal conversation of highly educated people or in tv news. It's more like an informal street slang sound. However, in Brazil is a correct way to pronounce the "R". I think this peculiar way to pronounce the R in Latin America exist just in two places: Brazil and Puerto Rico.
Spot on. And my abuela absolutely turns her double r into that h with the phlegm in it. Lol
“Ahoz” y “caho”
Y’all get rid of everything 🤣🤣
It's crazy bro you broke this down to a T! I'm Cuban but was raised around Puerto Ricans in Jersey and I can attest that every single point you made here is how I talk Spanish, except the double r saying ajiba instead of arriba. Definitely gained yourself a new follower. Blessings your way. Keep up the great work.
Salute bro I appreciate you!
My babysitter is Puerto Rican and I would never be able to understand her not because I can't speak Spanish, it's because her accent and this really helped me!
So happy this helped :)
Ay que rico leer los comments y saber que les gusta nuestro español boricua ❤️❤️❤️ Palante es que es!!
5:50 R and S were absent in African language. That's why we tend to do L for R, and Aspire the S.... Can be like J sound sometimes. Also depend on level of education or if in amore relaxed environment where the conversations NGO fast and furious... No fights... Just everyone at the same time and you can focus on one , and also interject in some other. Also RR carro... Rasping the throat...
Huh. That's super interesting and makes perfect sense. The influence of various African pronunciations and adaptations on Caribbean Spanish is not something I've read about before.
I'm half Boricua but my father never taught me Spanish, so as a 24 year old learning Spanish to speak with my Abuela from scratch, this video helped me understand. Gracia 🇵🇷🤘🙏🇵🇷🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I feel you on that bro! I was the same way. Keep grinding!
I lived in Puerto Rico for 6 months a Long time ago and I do speak a little Spanish, just love the language and the people.
Coach Rock!!!! Neva knew this side of you...big influence
I also noticed some Puerto Rican’s make a little H (English H sound) sound in front of A beginning words like “vamos aquí” = “vamo’ haqui” but i think PR Spanish is my fav accent maybe because it’s part of me lol trying to learn the culture tu sabe haha and it’s followed by none other than the DR accent.
I wanted to learn more about Spanish and a Puerto Rican accent because I have a heavy influence from my Puerto Rican grandparents and my mom/uncles. It is frustrating sometimes since I don’t come off as Puerto Rican. I’m white passing and don’t know Spanish so it makes me feel a bit disconnected. This is a really cool resource because of that
my favourite accent! I wish there were more resources in bORICUA
Thank you! I speak fluent Spanish, I lived in Mexico for 2 years. However, I love the New York Mets, right now they have Javier Baez and Francisco Lindor, both from Puerto Rico and everytime I see anything from them in Spanish I don't understand them. And it's driving me crazy. I'm here to learn Puerto Rican Spanish hahah
Plus the accent is dope. I would love to speak a little more like this.
Hahah that's funny. I love those goes. Watch some of the more recent vids on my channel, especially the ones I did with my cousin from Puerto Rico. Here there are:

I love Caribbean Spanish the best, specifically Puerto Rican and Dominican Spanish. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I feel like I have ese acento con Adobo lol . Many people tell me I have a Puerto Rican/Dominican accent when I speak . If I were to choose between the two, I definitely favor the PR accent over the other just because I grew up around many Puerto Ricans and most of my friends are Puerto Rican. I also
found out I have some Puerto Rican ancestry so I guess that has also motivated me to sound more Rican haha I’m at about the native level at this point, seven years strong teaching myself. 👍Not done though .
I’m Haitian and I’m currently learning Spanish. My Venezuelan friends teach me and I also listen to a lot of Hispanic artists like bad bunny, anuel, dalex etc and it’s a little challenging because you guys replace r’s at the end and you speak very fast lmao but I’m progressing
I am half Puerto Rican and half African American and I have been trying to learn Puerto Rican Spanish and this is a very helpful video thank you 🙂
My PR wife is also always turning the “ll” into a “jah” sound. For example: amarillo becomes “ah-mah-REE-jo”. And “bo-TAY-jah”. Her explanation: “”Everybody else pronounces the “ll” wrong”.
OK, I’ll go with that, I guess. lol
Tbh that’s the only Spanish I want to learn. The Puerto Rican Spanish. I feel more connected with PRs than I do any other Latinos
I see the number in your username. Definitely gotta learn it in Orlando 😂
Me too.
Damn this was a beautiful video. I never really learned spanish from parents because they never taught me. But they always talked to each other in spanish, and I always wondered why I had an accent with the little bit of spanish I did know, and it's because I picked it up from them. I wanna learn more so I can speak with my grandma who only speaks spanish, puerto rican spanish at that. So it'd be great to 100% understand her even with the accent
You sound like my twin. I literally have an identical story. Ive managed to get pretty good and can have conversations with my grandma now (shes very old though so so its not like i can always pick her brain). Anyway you can do it to good luck friend!
@@jeremyjj3866 I appreciate this. My grandma is not doing so well herself. So one of my goals is to understand enough Spanish to have a meaningful conversation with her at least once before it's too late, and I regret not ever learning
I know that feel. The struggle!
The PR Spanish comes from Canary Island and Southern Spain mix with Taino and African words. Our accent is regional you can find some speak with the L, comes from the barrios RR, comes from the Campos J, as wel as mountains of PR and the AO comes from the origins of the Canary Islands
Now not every Boricua speaks with the " L" as many think. And mentioning with the reguetton that has developed their own urban language of a new cultural reguetton dialect. And less not forget the spanglish Boricuas speak English and Spanish combined together..We are unique!😊
I just signed up for your course...LOOKING FORWARD TO SPEAKING FLUENTLY!!!...You REALLY love Narcos, huh? I going to start watching it again. I agree that it really does help you learn faster!
Haha I sure do! Thanks so much for signing up it means the world to me! I will do my best to get you to that level!
this reminds me of my family ugh i wish i grew up learning it out there 😫
Honestly everyone else's channel covers "basic" Spanish , we don't need more of that ! WE NEED PUERTO RICAN TEACHER !!!!!!!! , nobody else out here Is covering that , more please
