African American English Conversation, From The Hood! - Can You Understand This??? 

the way you homies talk is the sheeeit dawg , Imma tryna replicate and get on the hood life homie .

Also, now, I wonder why ESL classes don't teach foreigners Ebonics! If ESL classes offer Ebonics listening classes, I'm sure that many non-native speakers want to take it.

Gracias amigo!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Ruddy. You’re welcome!

Hi Sergio, glad to see you knew these phrases, that’s cool and impressive, you have a very good level of English! Don’t feel bad, I have the EXACT same problem with the Spanish language. I have to use the subtitles when watching movies and it is difficult to understand music and songs. This is a universal issue when learning a foreign language. Just be consistent and “it will come”. Yes, I totally agree, learning and improving in a new language is like magic. I was watching a Spanish RU-vid video of several guys from the Dominican Republic the other week and got excited as I suddenly realized I could understand most of what they where saying and I wasn’t translating in my head, it was like my brain just knew!!! It is amazing stuff! Take care my friend!

Far from ghetto talk might not be the king English but it is still English

I’m a black person. I speak AAVE. I love it as an original language for black Americans. 😊Yes, this is what we say sometimes (luh instead of love) like I might say to my son “ you luh dat lil tablet don’t you?” Meaning “you really love your tablet”. There are other channels that explain the phonetics and rules of the language a bit better such as dropping consonants. Other examples include “flo, do, or mo” meaning floor, door, or more.

@@ABattee, thank you so much. You have no idea what that means to me. ❤

Consonants, particularly at the end of words, are commonly dropped in AAVE and many other English dialects. More importantly to your question, I think, is the fact that the most common vowel in English is ə. Yes, that's not part of the alphabet, but most vowel sounds can be "reduced" to it and often are. I'd recommend watching this video for clarification: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qu4zyRqILYM.html

​@@_estecate_lol, obviously English isn't their first language

you said european black people speak a different dialect? I didn't know this, what countries and what languages?

@drc-ek2zu, there is no such thing as "well spoken". You can speak the standard language and speak the language of your people and this is what Black Americans do and it's called code switching when we do it. We understand that there is a standard of English when at work, but we have our own language when at home. Secondly, you nor your grandmother moving from Poland understand anything that has happened to Black people in America because you aren't Black American. 1. Just because slavery ended in 1865, it still brought with it, share cropping, Jim Crow, lynching, convict leasing, red lining, bombing of Black neighborhoods, destruction of Black neighborhoods, segregation and so much more after 1865 and up until some changes in 1965 with the Civil Rights movement. Do you want to know why there was a Civil Rights movement? It's because America was still treating Black people as non-equal and lesser than White people. You wouldn't know any of that because you don't care to know, you're just spouting a dislike without no knowledgable background on what you're speaking of. 2. Black people using AAVE has nothing to do with "holding on" to anything. It's how we talked for well over 400 years in this country. No one Black is "holding on" to anything that brings us down. We speak up and out about the things that aren't inclusive or provides equity for us as a people. Again, this is something you don't know and it's boiled down to ignorance on your part. 3. We don't want to blend in. We are our own people, with our own history, culture and way of being set apart from anyone else, just as the Polish are. If modern people are keeping anything alive, then why did your grandmother leave Poland? Could she not make it there? Was there something wrong with Poland that made her move? Was it because she didn't want to be a part of the Polish fabric and blend in? Did she stop speaking her native tongue of Polish in trying to assimilate to a new culture instead of holding on to her own culture and just live her life? I assume she was holding on to things that were bringing her down?

@drc-ek2zu - So you think that European blacks have a victim mentality because they speak in their dialect when amongst each other? Wow. You sound crazy as h@ll. How about they feel more comfortable and laid back when they are around each other and speak in a way that is more in line with their African or Caribbean ancestry? Also, you can't compare the experience of a Polish immigrant to America with the experience of those of African descent. Were not the Polish excepted into the larger white society during the time of segregation? You can't be this dense.
