As a born and bred American with a Hispanic heritage I can completely relate to her when it comes to language fluency in Spanish; I can understand the language 100%, and I can respond in the language as well, but it's going to take a little more effort on my part to conceptualize my words, when speaking in Spanish, in comparison to speaking in English. You go Sonia, and good luck in this year's marriage equality hearing!
While it seem that her words maybe carefully chosen. She speaks spanish pretty much the same speed as English. Compared to the host. Everyone is considered slow.
Como vasco me siento orgulloso de que esta mujer haya llegado hasta aquí. Es un orgullo para todos los hispanoparlantes. Es impresionante que esta gran señora, que nos representa a todos los que hablamos español y que es descendiente de los españoles que para bien o para mal colonizaron América. Es un éxito de superación, ella estudió en Princeton y se sacó la carrera ella solita, y fue Cum Laude, es una mujer impresionante y ha llegado hasta aquí por sí sola. Sonia, te deseo lo mejor. Eres un ejemplo para todos los que hablamos español. Yo creo que eres una patriota americana. Ah, y hablas muy bien español.
Sonia Sotomayor, estoy orgullosa de ser tu compatriota.Gracias por ser un ejemplo de superacion viviente y por sobre todas las cosas, amar a nuestro pais querido Puerto Rico.
...she is fluent pero.....she makes mistakes Hispano parlantes would NEVER make....she probably learned Spanish really young...then lost it, and learned it as she got older. but her Spanish is not bad at all, but she almost sounds like that of those spainairds. she also says A LOT of words that is more castellano....so that I say she learned it from school, not because she is a hispano parlante.
No, a castellano would not only pronounce their Z's and C's, but a castellano would pronounce them with the same sound as the English (th); she swallows them.
Many Latinos born in the U.S. speak Spanish like that. It's hard to stay completely fluent when your main language is English. She probably doesn't speak Spanish everyday.
I didn't say she WAS a Spaniard, what I said was that she speaks the same Spanish AS a Spaniard lol. It's obvious that she's latina. She just says A LOT of words that a Spaniard would say and not so much a Latin American. It's just my opinion. To each his own. And The kingofmoney200, I understand that haha believe me, The reason I said what I said was because she was talking and thinking, talking and thinking, and some of the words that she said were something from like spain, NOT ALL of the obviously BUT some of them. I myself Am Mexican And White and I grew up speaking both languages, and I have some family members in Adra España, and others in Monterrey, México. I know what to expect from BOTH families because they are both from different countries, with some different words, and different cultures altogether. But when I heard this Woman speak I was a little confused as to weather or not she grew up speaking it with Spaniards AND Latinos ORR she learned it from school, So I just decided to go with school because of the pace she spoke it at.....but again, that's me. To each his own...or her own haha.
I believe that listening ability is the most important "qualifier." Since people have commented that Mark Zuckerberg is unable to listen (maybe they also mean "unable to interpret" as well).
Gracias Jorge. Desde Puerto Rico. Por desgracias aun con todas las similitudes entre familia y familia, la determinación de Sotomayor, tiene mucho mas que ver con su personalidad q con la idea de que todos podemos salir airosos de nuestros problemas.
Voy aplicar ese remedio de la jueza Sotomayor voy a empezar a bailar salsa me encanto esa entrevista jorge Ramos eres un gran periodista felicidades :)
I am not at all fluent with the language. How is her Spanish? From an anglo, it seems more hesitant compared to the host's quick brilliance. Maybe the dialect?
She is 99% good many times we as Latin people especially having grown up in this country tend to forget an occasional word in Spanish and that's what happened during the interview. I can tell you I didn't speak English until I was in grade school even though I was born in this country but my family demanded that I speak to them in Spanish even still although it was my first language I occasionally forget a word in Spanish. And I am like the justice I almost have 99% no accent even though my first language was Spanish
You have to see her as if she was an anglo woman and that spanish is not her first language since she was raised in NY, not the island. The reporter was actually born and raised in Mexico, therefore, he is quicker with words. There are not dialects in Spanish,although the language is very diverse. Every country uses it differently. Even for people like myself, whos Spanish is its first language, it is a struggle sometimes. Thanks, for taking the time of learning the language! Exito!

se nota en momentos como quando dice "hacer errores" quando el correcto en español es "cometer errores"

Love it. She has that typical new yorican accent
Español es su segunda lengua, todo lo ha hecho en Inglés... pero sí entiende y habla Español.
Es una chica puertorriqueña. Todos los puertorriqueños pueden hablar español, (esto no incluye a los Puertorriqueños que viven fuera de Estados Unidos
ORGULLOSO DE SER BORICAU Y SONIA ORGULLO BORICUA
solo le hace falta vocabulario y der pasar horas y horas hablando en castellano cada día , que triste de burlarse de ella por ser educada!
Cuantos "Tengo la impresión" de Jorge Ramos en muy pocos minutos.
Buena entrevista. Me identifico con muchas cosas que dijo. Algun dia quiero dar el ejemplo como latina y como mujer tal como lo ha hecho ella.
esa mujer es nuestro brazo en la corte suprema!
Such a great interview!

Mike Ruel She sound like a Spaniard? What? Have you ever heard a Spaniard speaking? She couldn't sound LESS like a Spaniard.

Recuerda que no se crió en un país latinoamericano. Es americana de nacimiento. Bastante bien que lo habla considerando su circunstancia...

Otra boricua maje, al Xibalba con esta ni habla castelleno
que significa maje y Xilbalba?
La mayoría de los latinos nacido en EEUU hablan así o peor. Es porque no hablan el español muy a menudo. Su primer idioma es el ingles...
¡Ridículo!
