Dominican Spanish sounds fast and bouncy. When I moved to Florida I was like Damm. I was that's some Fly stuff right there. They thought I was from Haiti. However, When I started talking they was like where you from? I said, I just moved from Minneapolis. They said, ohhh!!! Your accent is not like anything from here either. We started laughing. My Sister knows more Spanish than me. Because her friends was teaching her. She can almost have full conversations.
I am mixed. Mom is dominican, dad is white. Unfortunately I got my dad's genes. I don't have the accent, but in my opinion the dominican accent sounds pretty nice, so I want to develop one.
I’m half Puerto Rican and half Dominican and I don’t know any Spanish but every time I hear a Dominican talk it sounds so much cooler I guess than other ppl speaking Spanish . That’s another reason why I want to learn how to talk like a Dominican

Los que hablarían como en rl ejemplo que pusiste de “Reynaldu” son los del suroeste (o sureños como aqui le decimos) de la isla, dígase: Azua, San Juan, etc. Que de hecho son los que pronuncian las erres R con mas fuerza en RD.

What are some Dominican "resources" to help grasp the accent if you're not actually able to speak with dominicans all the time? What did you use?
6 лет назад+15
Search for Dominican tv programs on RUclips. I will tell you that most of them are talk shows the interview artists and celebrities, which I don't really love, but they help. There's a show called de extremo a extremo, aquí se habla español, noche de luz etc. There are also Dominican movies, which aren't always the best quality, but they have the real slang and accents in there and everything like that.

waiting for your video on Cuban Spanish so i can Understand Celia Cruz a lil better
6 лет назад+6
Haha Celia doesn't use much slang at all. She may say guantanamera, or habanera, but other then that it's basic Spanish for the most part. Slang doesn't affect music much until we get to latin rap, and things like that reggaeton. But the video will be up soon.
No man, You're wrong about that, some of her stuff is really hard to understand for me at least, the habanera song was like the easiest one, tell me if u think this one is easy for intermediate level ruclips.net/video/jF1sViQF3-s/видео.html
@@glockks56 It has been three years but that song doesn't have a lot of slang words. I'm not cuban and I understand most of it. What happens is that "picao" is "picado", not slang just droppin of sounds (a very common one across all variants of Spanish, to drop the d in words like that). Quiquiriquí it's a common onomatopoeia for the sound roosters do, maybe I am missing something here (as I said I'm not cuban) but it doesn't seem to go beyond that. Also candelita do sounds as cuban slang because I don't recognize it, I thought it meant fire if I deduce from another Celia Cruz song but here it talks about "fumar" (to smoke). And that's all, maybe there are two specific cuban words there, the rest is just common things in Spanish in general.
Awesome video. I’m a Garifuna American with roots in Honduras and Belize, and am a Spanish speaker when I need to be. When I first went to the DR, I noticed the linguistic differences between Central American Spanish, Cuban Spanish (many of my friends are Cuban), and Puerto Rican Spanish. This video really helped me sort out some of the differences i noticed. Thanks, I appreciate what you’ve done.

One of my students just went to Honduras. Her dad was from La Ceiba, and she just met her brother a decade ago, so I've been teaching her Spanish so that she can speak with her family. Does you family use vos instead of tú?
Rickie Walls They use both, depending on the audience, i.e. when talking to other Garifuna or Mayans, they use vos/tu/su interchangeably. When talking to western Caribbean people, they tend to use “Tu/Su.
Oye como tu ‘ta? Great channel! It’s amazing and awesome that you pick up all the subtleties of the languages even though you’ve never been out of the U.S. Especially how awesome you pick up on the regional variantes as well. You definitely have an ear for language! You actually remind me of myself when I was growing up in NY surrounded by a bunch of friends from ‘ el ‘Can’: Cuba, Puerto Rico, La República Dominicana. Pues, vives en Nueva York? De todos modos, que te opine como pronuncia la ‘ll’ y “y’ en las partes diferentes de La República Dominicana? Edit: I just watched the 1st part of your Cuban Video and found out you have been out of the country. I should of watched these videos in order lol. Anyway, you still have an amazing ear for language either way. For all I know u could be from Belize ;)
Enojao is a normal slang version in Spain. The d disappears in multiple similar words as comio (comido), hablao (hablado) etc. But only d that appears in that position of a word
6 лет назад
When I talk about neutral Spanish, I'm not talking about the words. I know the words are Dominican, but they way that I read it is neutral, because I pronounced all of the sounds. That is what I was referring to. Thanks for you input though. Very interesting about Spain!
@ I removed my comment about correct spanish as the problem only appear in your first spanish sentence (that I can not understand) The rest are OK. Only the missing d is similar to local spanish accent. The rest of your examples are quite unusual. Normally america spanish is influenced by Andalucia spanish accent, that is quite similar to american spanish, but not to your examples. But the "feeling" is yet similar to andalucia accent. Many emigrants to america come from there as the main port to america was Sevilla.
Se tiene que vivir en La República Dominicana por un tiempo para realmente dominar el dialecto. O se tiene que ser una habladora nativa.

No se si estoy de acuerdo. Conozco a muchas personas que no han vivido en RD pero hablan igual a los Domis. Requiere practica y uno tiene que estudiar el dialecto.
I love Dominican Spanish. I want to preface this next comment with this: I think Dominican Spanish is the best and I also love that is evolving. I think the last thing about “i” becoming “r” or “l” is like a compensation for El Cibao shift. People being unsure what is a “true r” and a “true i” in speech, so they, for lack of a better word, “guess” on whether to use “r/l” or “i”.
Man I love this guy! You are freaking awesome, I'm American and my boyfriend is Dominican he loves this video and said you did an awesome job. Tambien yo voy a grabar unos videos hablando sobre la manera que yo enseñé a mi misma el idioma de Español! Yo te apoyo al cien percento 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾❤❤❤

We would understand everything but the slang hahaha, but thats normal, there is a lot of different slangs in spanish language depending on the country and often we as spanish speakers have problems trying to understand slang of other countries even if we speak the same language
So interesting love the way they speak..the only famous Dominicans that I'm aware of are Romeo Santos and Prince Royce lol and I was listening to a song the other day by La Insuperable and instead of saying "Me haces feliz" she said in one of her songs "Me hace feli" maybe she's from Puerto Rico idk but really Dominican and Puerto Rican accent is really beautiful but I'm more so used to Mexican way of talking lol anyways buen trabajo! Bendiciones y Dios te bendiga!

La insuperable is from The Dominican Republic too. Romeo and Royce don't talk like Dominicans so much. they have a mixture of Dominican and neutral accents. I love how they speak to though.
Rickie Walls I thought so about the neutral accents and I did not know she was from DR lol 😂¡Gracias!

Maya Sanders yep. In Bachata, they don't use their accent too much because they want to be international. And yep that's why she has beef with la materialista usually artists have beef with other artists from their country.

Well, it isn't too bad if you're ok with neutral Spanish. It's like being an American speaking English, when an Aussie pronounces something like Mate (mäyt) you know what it is. Well, at least if you know what the differences are.
I’m Mexican American but this is dope. I love seeing diversity and other ethnic customs. There’s a lot of Puerto Rican’s and Mexicans (probably Dominicans too) where I’m from but I never really knew the type of accent that Dominican’s have. I know a couple Puerto Rican’s who don’t have the really fast speaking Spanish. One of my friends sounds like how we Mexicans speak Spanish, haha. Anyways, not to be rude or anything, I was just never really exposed to seeing both together, but I never really knew the difference between Puerto Rican and Dominican Spanish. That’s why I said “(probably Dominican’s too)” up there. I just watched a commercial with Al Horford and he spoke really slow and really clear Spanish. Then I thought about how Romeo Santos and Prince Royce also have a really slow and really clear Spanish when they sing. I wanna get to know more about the language

Hey! Thanks for supporting the channel and checking out the video! You can def. learn more about it here! I actually started out learning Mexican Spanish. It's awesome. I respect all types of Spanish. Of course we can never say that one country speaks the same all throughout, but this video gives an example for many in the DR
Thanks for saying that you are an official linguistic. The Dominican speaking depends on the person background. ....n education. When my daughter talk about quillao I stop her, hablando bien....
I’m not Dominican but I’ve been here since i was 3 but it’s both yk buscando traditionally means looking or searching but in certain situations it can mean gaining the same way guapo traditionally means cute or sexy but it certain situations it means upset
Hi Rickie. You mentioned accents and some people think they're better than others (linguistically) because of their accent. I live in Birmingham, England. Many people here and abroad think they know what a Birmingham accent is but they're actually listening to a "black country" (west of Birmingham) accent. Thankfully I don't have much of any accent. Those from the south of England consistently make fun of anyone and how they speak if they're from the wider Midlands area or further north. So it would seem it happens everywhere!
Bro, I just used this video for my Social Studies and Basic English classes. History Hint: Most of our, vowel drops, and consonant drops are as early as the very dawn of slavery here in the D.R. (the whole hemisphere actually since this was the land Spaniards arrived in first) enslaves were bereft of their African culture by being obligated to assume Spanish culture, religion, and most importantly learn the language. No immigrant will ever speak any language as a native speaker. So essentially, our way to speak Spanish was the first-ever AAVL (African-American Vernacular Language) since it came from Spanish, yet a Spaniard would not understand when we speak the way we do.
Ima be fighting with my boyfriend tryna speak and understand the way he speaks Spanish😭💀 the way Dominicans speak Spanish is sooo unique, and jus moves me the right way. But with this whole thing about the Dominican accents and words being kidnapped... biiiiitch ima be having trouble for awhile🤣 visting DR is just something I might have to do. But I always felt like Spanish speakers in general never finished off their words "correctly"🤣🤣 I just never wanted to say anything yet💀
You cracked me up the entire video. Can I adopt you as my lil'brother?!?! ... I promise I would learn Spanish faster and we can crack the heck up. Question. I plan on retiring in Belize. What type of Spanish do they speak there?
It’s kinda weird speaking that way I’m Hispanic with no accent but can do this Dominican accent but I don’t speak much Spanish so I can’t keep a conversation going on spanish but I’ve spoken to my friends with that accent in front of girls and girls love that shit lol.... I just realized the only way I speak is that accent is when I argue in Spanish

Los que hablarían como en rl ejemplo que pusiste de “Reynaldu” son los del suroeste (o sureños como aqui le decimos) de la isla, dígase: Azua, San Juan, etc. Que de hecho son los que pronuncian las erres R con mas fuerza en RD.
Mil gracias Erick! Ahora puedo ponerle lugar a esos acentos! ¡Se te aprecia! Tengo que conocer el país algún día.
Soy del cibao y no dice acelte, tu estás perdido manin.
yo you look more Dominican then me
How? lol
@ u look like hella Dominican ppl I've met lol
I love the elongated part! 😂
yessss💃🏽 Dominican Spanish will work for me because I’m extra 😂😂
I love it. I've been here for 2 weeks and it's music to my ears : )
@ yessss. enjoy my friend! 💓
What are some Dominican "resources" to help grasp the accent if you're not actually able to speak with dominicans all the time? What did you use?
Search for Dominican tv programs on RUclips. I will tell you that most of them are talk shows the interview artists and celebrities, which I don't really love, but they help. There's a show called de extremo a extremo, aquí se habla español, noche de luz etc. There are also Dominican movies, which aren't always the best quality, but they have the real slang and accents in there and everything like that.
There's an app called Hello talk. It connects people who are trying learn to native speakers.
@ hola me sigo preguntando como es que existe un tiguere como tu, que sabes tanto y no eres dominicano, ? Saludos desde Sto.Dgo. Dominican Republic, Quisqueya La Bella
@@GlaucoSamboy61 jaja mi hermano es que amo a RD. Hay algo de ese lugar que me cautiva. Soy americano, pero mi corazón y mi alma son dominicanos. 🇩🇴💪
Hey Klk I am Dominican and you speak our Spanish very well, Tiguere you are a Bacana pod, for a Chin I thought you were a Dominican, Greetings from Sto.Dgo. Dominican Rep. Quisqueya La Bella
waiting for your video on Cuban Spanish so i can Understand Celia Cruz a lil better
Haha Celia doesn't use much slang at all. She may say guantanamera, or habanera, but other then that it's basic Spanish for the most part. Slang doesn't affect music much until we get to latin rap, and things like that reggaeton. But the video will be up soon.
No man, You're wrong about that, some of her stuff is really hard to understand for me at least, the habanera song was like the easiest one, tell me if u think this one is easy for intermediate level ruclips.net/video/jF1sViQF3-s/видео.html
I have a friend who speaks Cuban Spanish
@@glockks56 It has been three years but that song doesn't have a lot of slang words. I'm not cuban and I understand most of it. What happens is that "picao" is "picado", not slang just droppin of sounds (a very common one across all variants of Spanish, to drop the d in words like that). Quiquiriquí it's a common onomatopoeia for the sound roosters do, maybe I am missing something here (as I said I'm not cuban) but it doesn't seem to go beyond that. Also candelita do sounds as cuban slang because I don't recognize it, I thought it meant fire if I deduce from another Celia Cruz song but here it talks about "fumar" (to smoke). And that's all, maybe there are two specific cuban words there, the rest is just common things in Spanish in general.
Watching this after your vlog in Santiago, DR 🇩🇴 is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂 0:20 blessings bro!!
Awesome video. I’m a Garifuna American with roots in Honduras and Belize, and am a Spanish speaker when I need to be. When I first went to the DR, I noticed the linguistic differences between Central American Spanish, Cuban Spanish (many of my friends are Cuban), and Puerto Rican Spanish. This video really helped me sort out some of the differences i noticed. Thanks, I appreciate what you’ve done.
One of my students just went to Honduras. Her dad was from La Ceiba, and she just met her brother a decade ago, so I've been teaching her Spanish so that she can speak with her family. Does you family use vos instead of tú?
Rickie Walls
They use both, depending on the audience, i.e. when talking to other Garifuna or Mayans, they use vos/tu/su interchangeably. When talking to western Caribbean people, they tend to use “Tu/Su.
My roots are in Honduras and Belize too!
Oye como tu ‘ta? Great channel! It’s amazing and awesome that you pick up all the subtleties of the languages even though you’ve never been out of the U.S. Especially how awesome you pick up on the regional variantes as well. You definitely have an ear for language! You actually remind me of myself when I was growing up in NY surrounded by a bunch of friends from ‘ el ‘Can’: Cuba, Puerto Rico, La República Dominicana. Pues, vives en Nueva York? De todos modos, que te opine como pronuncia la ‘ll’ y “y’ en las partes diferentes de La República Dominicana?
Edit: I just watched the 1st part of your Cuban Video and found out you have been out of the country. I should of watched these videos in order lol. Anyway, you still have an amazing ear for language either way. For all I know u could be from Belize ;)
Lol I've heard killao many times, didn't even know the word was quillado 😂😂😂
I dont think it is i think he made it sound like that for the proper spanish
Great video brother I love much love and respect to you bro
I say “venga” all the time just because I’m like that🤣
I need to finally learn Spanish !! Teach me your ways
If you're serious, Email me. Rickiew2124@gmail.com
It's cool how we do the same thing in english
I was gonna make a video comparing that actually.
Enojao is a normal slang version in Spain. The d disappears in multiple similar words as comio (comido), hablao (hablado) etc. But only d that appears in that position of a word
When I talk about neutral Spanish, I'm not talking about the words. I know the words are Dominican, but they way that I read it is neutral, because I pronounced all of the sounds. That is what I was referring to. Thanks for you input though. Very interesting about Spain!
@ I removed my comment about correct spanish as the problem only appear in your first spanish sentence (that I can not understand) The rest are OK.
Only the missing d is similar to local spanish accent. The rest of your examples are quite unusual. Normally america spanish is influenced by Andalucia spanish accent, that is quite similar to american spanish, but not to your examples. But the "feeling" is yet similar to andalucia accent. Many emigrants to america come from there as the main port to america was Sevilla.
Se tiene que vivir en La República Dominicana por un tiempo para realmente dominar el dialecto. O se tiene que ser una habladora nativa.
No se si estoy de acuerdo. Conozco a muchas personas que no han vivido en RD pero hablan igual a los Domis. Requiere practica y uno tiene que estudiar el dialecto.
@ hola eres dominicano? , pues conoces muy bien nuestro forma de hablar, Saludos desde Sto.Dgo. Dominican Republic Quisqueya La Bella
@@GlaucoSamboy61 100% estadounidense jaja.
I loved this video! I am not as fluent anymore in Spanish but dad from Santo Domingo definitely does these pronunciations
This was a great breakdown!
man said there is a linguistic war... LMFO 🤣😭😭😭
long live the “Ls” and “Rs”
Enjoyed this video man
Fantastic video, can't believe you haven't been there, but know so much
I love Dominican Spanish. I want to preface this next comment with this: I think Dominican Spanish is the best and I also love that is evolving. I think the last thing about “i” becoming “r” or “l” is like a compensation for El Cibao shift. People being unsure what is a “true r” and a “true i” in speech, so they, for lack of a better word, “guess” on whether to use “r/l” or “i”.
Man I love this guy! You are freaking awesome, I'm American and my boyfriend is Dominican he loves this video and said you did an awesome job. Tambien yo voy a grabar unos videos hablando sobre la manera que yo enseñé a mi misma el idioma de Español! Yo te apoyo al cien percento 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾❤❤❤
Mi hermana. Muchas gracias. Dont forget to share it so others can learn too!
Tú también hablas como los dominicanos o estás aprendiendo?
Oh wait chica ya te conozco! Lol no sé porque todavía no has grabado un vídeo jaja! Apúrate pa que me puedas ayudarme a cundir el amor que tenemos por RD!
@ si mi pana ya tu lo sabes. Nos hablamos sobre todo eso muy prontico!! Abrazos manin!!
@@LaNikiOfficial cómo es que tu sigues saliendo con los Domis? Hay muchos por allí?
@ jaja, mas o menos, pero no como ahi donde tu vives. Todavia esta con la morena o?
Omg I didn't even realize the ng thing you are right on. I was born in the states and the ng thing was still passed to me. I didn't even realize other hispanics don't do the ng thing.
Lol y es por eso que me encanta estudiar idiomas
i learned alot thanks!
I really thought he was dominican until he said he wasn’t 😂
Me too! 🤣😂🤣😂
so could someone from mexico understand perfectly what im saying if i have dominican accent
I believe so. If you use the accent then you should be fine. It's the slang that throws them off.
oh ok 😀
Hell no
We would understand everything but the slang hahaha, but thats normal, there is a lot of different slangs in spanish language depending on the country and often we as spanish speakers have problems trying to understand slang of other countries even if we speak the same language
@@almajimenez6341 NY slang vs Chicago slang! Louisiana slang vs Florida and Georgia slang! Smae shit
i thought "veng" was the correct way to say it 😭😭
maybe i did learn something from my dominican mom 💕
I've understood the Dominican guapo as a difference between ser and estar guapo, it was tough learning Spanish there as a native English speaker lol.
So interesting love the way they speak..the only famous Dominicans that I'm aware of are Romeo Santos and Prince Royce lol and I was listening to a song the other day by La Insuperable and instead of saying "Me haces feliz" she said in one of her songs "Me hace feli" maybe she's from Puerto Rico idk but really Dominican and Puerto Rican accent is really beautiful but I'm more so used to Mexican way of talking lol anyways buen trabajo! Bendiciones y Dios te bendiga!
La insuperable is from The Dominican Republic too. Romeo and Royce don't talk like Dominicans so much. they have a mixture of Dominican and neutral accents. I love how they speak to though.
Rickie Walls I thought so about the neutral accents and I did not know she was from DR lol 😂¡Gracias!
Maya Sanders yep. In Bachata, they don't use their accent too much because they want to be international. And yep that's why she has beef with la materialista usually artists have beef with other artists from their country.
Rickie Walls ¡Qué guay! Jajaja I took 2 courses in spanish in high school and I loved them but they never went in depth lol but I remember everything en todo!!! But I can only hold a convo in present tense ...your videos have been a great help in my journey!!! Oh btw I'll check out the beef I did not know I just started listening to her 🤔😊
I'm about to start uploading lessons soon so that you and anyone else who wants to learn can grow with those. What do you mean when you say en todo? And their beef is so dumb. I think it's all publicity stunts.
Me estoy buscando means “I’m looking for...” I thought?? I’m so confused now 🤣
remove the me
Stefan Jurj I meant yo
It's slang. You're translating it literally.
Yo aprendiendo el espanol y vivo alrededor de muchos Dominicanos. Yo habia intendido a hablar con ellos, pero cuando les hablo, ellos me miran extrano. A veces, ningunas quieren hablar conmigo. S'i yo viva alrededor los espanoles o los columbiano, creo que no yo haya tenido esta problema. Esto video fue bueno. Yo necesito saber esto.
Sigue intentando. Vas a seguir mejorarando y te van a entender. Gracias por ver mi video!
Hahaha nice video man
Gracias, mano!
Bro if you ever get that passport hit me up. I’ve got family all over & can show you around. Although I’m American born I’m fluent & go from time to time. I also visit other countries is Latin America & I think you are def ready to take on a conversation with locals anywhere.
Lol I believe your new to the channel, but thanks. I've been to DR and I've made many videos with natives in Miami. I'm s flight attendant now so it's my new life. Thanks for you support. Would love to keep in touch though. Shoot me an email at rickiew2124@gmail.com if you're up for it. God bless!
Well, it isn't too bad if you're ok with neutral Spanish. It's like being an American speaking English, when an Aussie pronounces something like Mate (mäyt) you know what it is.
Well, at least if you know what the differences are.
Que lo que! I thought you were a Dominican when I saw you yesterday, Dios te bendiga hermano!!!
Jaja gracias por checking out the channel bro. It was nice meeting you. Conociste a mi colega Dominicana o no?
Bilingue Blogs no no pude. Si escuché varios hablando español pero no pude conocerla.
2:36 , i say it real quick and i dont notice 😂🤣
te digo, lo he estudiado jajaja
I approve this message, I'm 100% domi
I love the Dominican accent thank you for clarifying,the only thing i find a bit silly is the "L" instead of the R sound 🤭
I’m Mexican American but this is dope. I love seeing diversity and other ethnic customs. There’s a lot of Puerto Rican’s and Mexicans (probably Dominicans too) where I’m from but I never really knew the type of accent that Dominican’s have. I know a couple Puerto Rican’s who don’t have the really fast speaking Spanish. One of my friends sounds like how we Mexicans speak Spanish, haha. Anyways, not to be rude or anything, I was just never really exposed to seeing both together, but I never really knew the difference between Puerto Rican and Dominican Spanish. That’s why I said “(probably Dominican’s too)” up there. I just watched a commercial with Al Horford and he spoke really slow and really clear Spanish. Then I thought about how Romeo Santos and Prince Royce also have a really slow and really clear Spanish when they sing. I wanna get to know more about the language
Hey! Thanks for supporting the channel and checking out the video! You can def. learn more about it here! I actually started out learning Mexican Spanish. It's awesome. I respect all types of Spanish. Of course we can never say that one country speaks the same all throughout, but this video gives an example for many in the DR
Thanks for saying that you are an official linguistic. The Dominican speaking depends on the person background. ....n education. When my daughter talk about quillao I stop her, hablando bien....
I'm from Argentina and this shit is very enlightening ! Gracias hermano!
En la zona Norte hablan con la (i), en la zona Sur con la (R), algunos en la zona Este hablan con la (L), es mas en los barrios de la capital.✌😘
i love it
1:28 doesnt buscando mean search can sum1 please explain? or is the word buscando dominican for the word money maybe?
I’m not Dominican but I’ve been here since i was 3 but it’s both yk buscando traditionally means looking or searching but in certain situations it can mean gaining the same way guapo traditionally means cute or sexy but it certain situations it means upset
Don’t forget Dominicans and the use of the word “vaina” lol
Espero que puedas ir pa lla pronto
Hi Rickie. You mentioned accents and some people think they're better than others (linguistically) because of their accent.
I live in Birmingham, England. Many people here and abroad think they know what a Birmingham accent is but they're actually listening to a "black country" (west of Birmingham) accent. Thankfully I don't have much of any accent.
Those from the south of England consistently make fun of anyone and how they speak if they're from the wider Midlands area or further north.
So it would seem it happens everywhere!
The R and changing the O for an U is at the South of Island they speak like that.
How did you learn to speak spanish? And how long did it take ?
In cibao the "r" at the end of the words can do the same thing as in the east where you kinda drop it
I’m Mexican and I always wanted pronounce ya tú sabes
Bro, I just used this video for my Social Studies and Basic English classes. History Hint: Most of our, vowel drops, and consonant drops are as early as the very dawn of slavery here in the D.R. (the whole hemisphere actually since this was the land Spaniards arrived in first) enslaves were bereft of their African culture by being obligated to assume Spanish culture, religion, and most importantly learn the language.
No immigrant will ever speak any language as a native speaker. So essentially, our way to speak Spanish was the first-ever AAVL (African-American Vernacular Language) since it came from Spanish, yet a Spaniard would not understand when we speak the way we do.
Ima be fighting with my boyfriend tryna speak and understand the way he speaks Spanish😭💀 the way Dominicans speak Spanish is sooo unique, and jus moves me the right way. But with this whole thing about the Dominican accents and words being kidnapped... biiiiitch ima be having trouble for awhile🤣 visting DR is just something I might have to do. But I always felt like Spanish speakers in general never finished off their words "correctly"🤣🤣 I just never wanted to say anything yet💀
Greetings from the south of dominican republic Barahona la perla del sur
I got an Ecuadorian girl and her accent is sticking to me
You cracked me up the entire video. Can I adopt you as my lil'brother?!?! ... I promise I would learn Spanish faster and we can crack the heck up.
Question. I plan on retiring in Belize. What type of Spanish do they speak there?
It’s kinda weird speaking that way I’m Hispanic with no accent but can do this Dominican accent but I don’t speak much Spanish so I can’t keep a conversation going on spanish but I’ve spoken to my friends with that accent in front of girls and girls love that shit lol.... I just realized the only way I speak is that accent is when I argue in Spanish
I went to Puerto Plata and I didn't know the way how do the speak Spanish there.
ha ha yo trato de hablar asi cuando me voy a la republica dominican:)
y yo soy luke schmalz cambie my nombre de cuenta por accidente
Jaja y cómo te fue?
Thank you for the video. I want to travel there soon.... Of course they’ll think you’re Dominican with that bracelet. Lol 😂 you must want them to think it.
Ninisotoe18 Thanks for watching. Which part do you want to visit?
And the bracelet was a gift from the Puerto Rican festival this past summer lol
Rickie Walls it’s nice 👍🏾. I want to visit Lago Azul/Cabrera but I’m still thinking 💭 about the location. Do you know where you want to go?
I want to visit many places: Santo Domingo, Santiago, & La Romana to name a few. I don't want a tourist resort, so I'll probably just do AirB&B. I've heard of Cabrera, but I didn't wanna go there, because I heard that there are a lot of expats. I don't wanna leave a English speaking country to speak English lol.
Rickie Walls Oooooo.... thank you for that information. I don’t want to talk English either. So I might just go there to go in the lake but stay somewhere else.
No prob. Hope you enjoy it! my biggest fear is seeing a tarantula lol.
I would like to speak to I'm Dominican I think I know how to
Man this dude Dominican 🇩🇴🇩🇴👊🏾😎💯
Así eh manito klk mi gente aprendan que eso eh una muvie🇩🇴😈✌️
Spot on!
Gracias! Me encanta RD
