How To Speak Like A Puerto Rican (The Puerto Rican Accent) 

And outside of your family you're not Puerto rican anymore?

HAHAHAHA lol!!! Same doeeee

Yoo fax same

Me too

Wow facts lol

Thanks! : ) That's definitely why I said that I was not a pro at this in my disclaimer. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.

whats the difference between accent and dialect?

Tania Aponte agreed

Nice explanation Tania!,, very good👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌

True

Jaja Thanks! and I totally agree with you! I work with some puerto ricans and I know exactly what you are talking about, may i'll catch it the next time around lol. But I'm glad to see a bori that understands. Por Fin!

Meghan can we please contact on whatsapp or something i would like someone from PR i can speak good Spanish and i would really like to learn that accent i mean the tone too and everything also the written.. I hope you can help me Gracias 🙏❤️

Nplos Le its not Puerto Lico but Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

I hate the monotone PR accent of the young Boricuas.

Lol It's just a few rappers who do it trying to sound cool I suppose.

I appreciate your comment! I can sometimes nail it and other times I can't lol. It's ok though.

Rickie Walls it's all good man, practice makes perfection lol.

Although I am 100% Puerto Rican I sound Cuban all the time lol I think he does good especially with the mountain rr my family are from Utuado and have the mountain accent. Bottom line not all Puerto Ricans sounds the same. Thanks for trying!

Machine Gun that’s good critism.. if only everyone was this pleasant

One Nation can we please contact on whatsapp or something i would like someone from PR i can speak good Spanish and i would really like to learn that accent i mean the tone too and everything also the written.. I hope you can help me Gracias 🙏❤️

Thanks! I already told them that I know everyone doesn't speak like this, but they still are getting mad lol

cass yeah cause its those boricuas who lived in the usa and moved to P.R afterwards and talk like they did when they lived in the states lol

William Digregorio dude what are you talking about. I've lived in PR my entire life and people I know who haven't even stepped foot in the states do talk like this lol. Obviously not everyone does but a LOT do, especially the cacos

I am from Puerto Rico.. and NO.. THIS IS NOT SPOT ON... THIS IS BS.. PLEASE DON'T COSIGN . MY FELLOW PUERTO RICAN..

I want them to get back together. I loved them together. He still.loves her and I know he would take her back...but he said he didnt want to come back on RU-vid together which would suck.

Jaja no estaba pensando en el cuando dije eso. Para mí, es fácil entenderlo. Pero Anuel y ele el dominio parecen tener calcetines en las bocas cuando hablan.

El Chévere Bryant myers

anuel aa for sure jajajaja

Rickie Walls you Spanish my brother 😂😂😂

@ call me my phone number is 414_882_8124

French influence.

I may do a part 2 fo you and others like you. : ) Thanks for watching!

+Rickie Walls (Bilingue Blogs) thanks

lowki, this is a dumb statement in itself LMAO Puerto Ricans do not at all talk like the rappers LMAO. And also that ghettoness you're ascribing is not a black thing. It's a "bro"-saying Rivera, Nuyorican thing. "Bro" is Latin, NUYORICAN, Rivera slang. Not white, not black slang and certainly not "Visigothic" in origin

Wallace Haggins because you and your family are cacos. Me and my family do not talk like that.

Wallace Haggins And there Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Argentines, Colombians, El Salvadorians, who are Hispanic, although Nuyoricans are always Hispanic. Martinezes, Baezes, Gomezes, Sanchezes are white. Riveras, Delgados, Santoses are Hispanic. And non-white.

HAHA h yes. I may love Dominican Spanish, but That doesn't men I'm going to ignore the rest of the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks for watching. Cuba is next. Anything else that you want to see?

Rickie Walls no that I can think of at the moment. I take something from all of your content. When did you feel comfortable to start speaking to others in Spanish?

I felt comfortable speaking with friends right away, but with strangers not until I was about 16/17 I started learning when I was about 12 ish.

I was thinking "this sounds like Portuguese" and then I saw this comment after....haha spot on

Ohhhhh I was thinking this sounds like the substitution in Brazilian Portuguese

Thanks you! That's why I gave my disclaimer. I know that everyone doesn't speak this way, but the ones that I met did so I just repeated it jaja. I appreciate your kindness!

Lol Thanks!!!

Thanks for watching and commenting. I just moved to Miami so I'm trying to link up with a few Cubans who can tell me how their dialect works. I know how, but I think it would be more entertaining if they did it.

Thanks! I'm glad that I can help people out. What else do you wana to see on the channel? Sorry for taking a week to respond. I've been extra busy.

Thanks! everyone doesn't agree with you according to the other comments lol. but I tried lol.

Steel Fury you’re not puertorican

im watching it bc my fam calls me the “white girl” of our fam 😀

@@Antraxj13 ??

Same here, it’s the curiosity of how accurate he got it, and I think he did a pretty solid job!

💌🤣😂

Muchas gracias! I appreciate your kind words.

Dale gracias por la información!

My family is from Ponce and that's how my family says their rr's my moms from Brooklyn and is big with the kh sound. I'm a mixture lol this video was great

Jaja Gracias! That wasn't my Bad bunny though. That's in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aneJ37YGH20.html Thanks for watching!

Exaaaaacto! Tú sí sabes cómo es la vaina! Jaja gracias por ver!

After my family moved from P.R. to Florida, there weren't any Ricans where we lived. Then, one day, I was in a grocery store with my mother and heard the sound of a woman speaking Puerto Rican Spanish and it was literally like listening to comfort food for the soul. This was over 30 years ago and still remember that day and the happiness I felt afterwards. Boricua!

@@mymusings1293 amen.

@@mymusings1293 There's a lot of boricuas in Orlando. :) At least now there are.

No they are not. They are very distinct. Puerto Rico has very different regional accents

Jaja Gracias!!! I tried. I know it's not perfect but hey.

#Truth! Thanks for that lol. I've come across Puerto Ricans who sound just like Dominicans, and Cubans who sound just like Puerto Ricans. It really just depends on the person.

True! I don't know why they're making such a big deal about it. Plus the culture is very similar to one another except Dominicans dance to bachata instead of salsa.

DR and Haiti is one island but split into two different countries. How is that hard to understand? If you put a Dominican in a room full of Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Haitians. Who do you think they gravitate more to? Hint: Someone who speaks the same language.

Um, no Puerto Ricans are Spaniards, in the ethnic and legal sense of the term, not Andalusians or any of that, which implies indigenous Spaniards. Nuyoricans are indigenous Spaniards, non-white, "bro"-saying, Rivera, Delgado, Santos who speak the type of Spanish DJ Playero is known for, you know movie Latino Spanish. So yes their Spanish is obviously gonna be from Andalusia, Catalonia, Old Castile. A real Romance language, like French and Italian. Puerto Ricans and all other Spanish countries, -ez surnames, on the other hand, are white-skinned, sound like Frank Lopez from "Scarface" when they speak English. Spain obviously included. Their form of Spanish is a Germanic language. Not Latin whatsoever in roots. And all this is pretty obvious. I mean what bozo thinks -ez surnames aren't white by looking at them. Or that "bro" isn't Latin slang just by hearing how it sounds, and what bozo doesn't think it's Nuyorican, just by listening to how it sounds. It's pretty obvious when you hear of Nuyorican you think of "bro"-saying Latinos with last names like Rivera or Delgado. Basques who are the same related grouping as Irish = also not white.

Also the idiocy behind the OPs statements seem to imply that Spain was created by indigenous Spaniards. Which is wrong. Visigoths created Spain. And did to the indigenous Spaniards exactly what British-descended Americans did to Native Americans. One quick trip to Spain will show you how obvious it is that Spain is 100% Germanic, and nothing Roman or Romance. And for instance their English accent sounds like that of Frank Lopez from "Scarface," the accent family to which Swedes, Danes, Russians, Brits, Jews also belong to. Not Andy Garcia's type of English accent.

Hola. Thanks for watching the video! 1. Google or youtube. Just type in The name of the country followed by podcast. You may have to search for a while to find the right one, but i have found plenty of great ones. Or check out this site. You can listen to any radio station from Spanish speaking counties around the world. www.radiowebsites.org/ 2. It really depends on how you learn. I'm not biased either way because I'm an online Spanish teacher and I see how People grow from my lessons, but I also learned on my own, because I hated the school's way of teaching. If you can teach yourself, then do it. If not, seek help. 3. I used to go to Spanish clubs. where I live now there are none, and I'm dying. But I hated the reggaeton clubs. It's just like going to a hip hop club. people get dressed just to stand on a wall. I love love love, dance clubs that play salsa, bachata, merengue, and cumbia. Those are the BEST. beautiful crowd, and so much fun dancing! It's always a good time.

Joshua Hill There are no dialects in Latin American Spanish, only different accents and idiomatic expressions.

Sorry for the late response, but thanks so much for checking out my content. I love helping others learn about the language and culture!

Thanks so much for your subscription. Sorry that It took me so long to respond. More subscribers means more comments, but I respond to every single one of them.

The charactteristics are accurate, the imitation may not be, but just like i said in the video, I'm not a pro at imitating it all of the time lol.

Wolf ..bulshit... .....You never going hear a dominican calling a nother man ( papi ) we don't copy the way ya'll talk....... Eso no manin Nunca💪💪💪

Wolf that's what I was thinking, he sounds Dominican

Wolf yes it does

Timmy Turner déjalos quietos a ver qué necesidad tenemos los dominicanos de imitar a los boricuas? Pa” qué diablos?🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

Glad I could bring you happy memories of your fam. with this video! jaja. thanks so much for watching!

That's what I thought, but some people are getting mad saying that I'm not right lol.

Rickie Walls lol it was good

Haha gracias! And what do you mean by the high road? that one went over my head lol. But thanks for checking out the video!

Jaja. I know I missed a few accents, because I now have a PR coworker and she sounds more like a dominican than the accents that I talked about here. but hey I was just going off of what I knew about at that time.

Gracias Denali! It's always hard for me to imitate, because I'm so used to my Dominican accent, but I tried hard here! Thanks for watching!

Monica T. Rodriguez Don't "pigeon hole" all PR's linguistically. He's spot on for whom? The few people he's imitating maybe, but other than that he's generalizing. He's NOT spot on. If speaking for yourself and yours, keep it there.

george a roman you're right, George, I was generalizing. I should have said, that was from my own experience. Despite the small size of the island, there are a lot of variations in pronunciations and terminology. My own parents have argued on what's the right word to call something. Thanks!

Monica T. Rodriguez It's all good Ma, and your welcome. God bless!!!

@@georgearoman9884 butt hurt

WOOO! Thanks. I know I'm not a pro at the imitation part, but I think my characteristics we pretty accurate.

jaja no soy 100% Afro americano, pero me encanta la cultura del caribe!! Gracias por ver el contenido mío!

AMO TU USER ❤️😭😍🔥 Lmaoo swimming in Namjoon’s dimples

Wow pensé que eras dominicano!

Sure I can. I can honestly say, that Panamanians talk like a lot of people from the Caribbean with hints of a Colombian accent. You'll find that a lot of the Caribbean rules apply to Panama.

Soy de República de Panamá

chévere. ¿de que parte?

Christian Craig I love panama I’m from there ^w^

Que xopa fren 🤙🏾

Thank you!! I wanna go and actually experience it myself. I know there are more accents. I need to investigate more.

Gracias!! I appreciate it. Hopefully, I can go there to witness it!

Guana.Guani.mahubi true. I clearly said in the video before I started that I know that EVERYONE doesn't talk like this lol.

Como quisiera!! Un día voy pa'lla. Bendiciones : )

Gracias. Algunos dicen que sí, y otos que no, pero intenté jaja

Puedes tú imitar el acento? jaja. Gracias por apoyar el video!

Rickie Walls 😩😭 deseo pero noooo. Tengo que seguir practicando!

Sí

Just in case y'all didn't know, there's an app called "Hellotalk" if you want further your spanish and improve it even more.

Black Panther one of my favorites!

You're so right. I hate that people are closed minded, hopefully my content can help open some minds.

Gracias!!!

Really good observation! That is very interesting and it makes perfect sense.

Eyyyy

No hay de que. Hablas muy bien, tal vez te puedo dar una 6 pero no más. Cometes errores simples. Yo te sugiero que repases algunas de las cosas básicas para que te acuerdas de los usos. Por ejemplo, dijiste, "Tengo que trabajar mucho duro." Si vas a decir "tengo que trabajar mucho." esta bien, pero no puedes decir "Trabajar mucho duro." tendrías que decir "MUY duro." entiendes? También dijiste voz profundo, pero la voz es femenina así que deberías de decir voz profunda. Y en cuanto a la voz profunda, soy el único que trabaja en Bilingüe Blogs así solo puedo usar mi voz jaja. o tal vez te entendí mal. Tal vez cuando me mude de aquí, conoceré a alguien que me pueda ayudar en eso.

Vale .. que tengas un buen día

@Rickie Walls - para que te acuerdes de los usos* (para que+ subjunctive). Espero que aceptes mi correción. Hablas muy bien el español. Por cierto, ya has llegado al nivel superior. Y es por eso mereces elogio.

I sure will. I have plans for all of that. I try to throw in a mixture of culture in between my actual lesson series. Thanks for your recommendation.

It’s reflexive meaning oneself ....

jaja. Gracias!!!

Bboy. Tony qué e' la que hay corillo

Bboy. Tony There's an app called "Hellotalk" if you want further your spanish and improve it even more.

Jajaja Gracias por ver el video. Se que todos los boris no hablan así pero es lo que yo he observado.

Gracias! It was fun haha.
