Awesome locals only Jeep Adventure. Thanks Jimmy. My daughter just moved to PR (married a PR man). So looking for some fun stuff to do when we visit them from NJ. Subscribed.
The truth is that, moving to PR is a big deal and you must ready to make a big change in your life to move here. I was born and raised in PR move to USA when I was 16. Lived in 4 different states for many years and I realized that everywhere in USA was the same. The same racism, the same Walmarts full of ghetto people, the same “I’m team this and team that, so I hate you”, and the same uncivilized culture overall. I moved back to PR and even though PR has its problems, I’m feel a lot happier and relaxed. My house next to the beach is paid for, my car is paid for, food is good, beach life is amazing, have great friends. I went to USA a few months ago and couldn’t wait to get da fk outta there!!! You can actually feel the bad vibes. There’s no way I can ever live in USA again. Yo me quedo en PR aunque vuelva Maria!!!
What's up Jimmy I like your vids I have two question are you guys like a Food Channel? Second question will you ever show historical sites in Puerto Rico?other than food. Saludos from Brooklyn NYC ❤
I had the privilege of being born in pr, moved to NY when I was 1 year old and went back 13 years later lived there for 20 years and now I’m in ky but miss it every day. I’ll be going to pr for vacation on September can’t wait!
I was born in America y aprendi Espanol porque mi familia que los visitavan no hablavan Engles. teniamos que comunicarno con ellos y segui practicando con mucho orgullo. Love being bi- lingual.
Brother I understand born in 64 moved to el barrio of NYC at 2 year old move to New Jersey at 10 year old Paterson NJ looking to retire there own a condo in Fajardo learn to speak Spanish by reading the Bible har to pronounce certain words but I pretty much proficient in Spanish. I wish you luck with your content.
I am gonna give you my story and opinion. I always knew that my parents were Puerto Ricans but since I was born and raised in Philadelphia I never spoke Spanish at all. I learned how to speak Spanish when I was 16 years old. It was damn hard and I still make mistakes now at age 43. My kids are 24 and 18 but they know both languages cause I didn't want them to go through my experience. Watch TV in Spanish so it can help with the pronunciation and read the island newspaper online out loud so you can practice. Whatever you learn will be helpful and remember don't stress over it cause there are a lot of people who speak or understand it here and they will always be able to assist you. Good luck.
Yeah, the cashier at any random establishment is not the person for you to practice your Spanish with. They have a job to do and need to get you on your way to do it. Ideally you'd have learned spanish before moving over but you should enroll in classes like you said.
If you're formally educated (academically) as a Puerto Rican you'll be obligated to learn English even if you live your entire life in Puerto Rico. Some of us have to work directly with some fellows/colleagues from the states on US companies in some industries. Medical/Pharma and Aerospace for example. As engineers, managers, directors, financial analyst, supply chain professionals etc. etc. There isn't much Hispanic/Puerto Ricans companies here on the island but Americans and some others European in the medical sector. Prob because of politics. And if you're not formally educated then it will be difficult for you to make good money on the island as a worker. So they tend to emigrates to the US. We are Americans too so we can work and live in the US without the need of a Visa. That's why basically all of us can speak English and we feel like is actually one of our languages.
So many do speak English here, however my strong southern accent is enough to keep many from speaking Spanish with me. Love my island, just wish my Spanish was better.
