Pero Like Tries Speaking Only Spanish For A Day 

Well, and Ivan

Gadiel and Ivan should be that way. I'm guessing it was professional terms that they had trouble with, since that wouldn't have been every day language when they grew up and they mostly use the English terms.

@@Alex-fv2qs Iván is speaking Spanglish though.

Most US Dominicans speak Spanish for generations

@Go Guerilla Foto sorry autocorrect changed the spelling

Yes!!! 👏🏼 I’m a mom of three and their daddy is gringo. Seeing maya speak Spanish gives me hope. I need to get on my shit and try way harder with my kids to teach them Spanish who are 6, 5 and 2. So proud of maya 💕

Me too!!!

Hey You lol I like your RU-vid name 😂 I think you should try getting a personal tutor or do conversation exchange with a native speaker. As an African-American I always had a love for the language ever since I was young going to the bodegas in my neighborhood escuchando a la salsa/bachata/o merengue en la tiendas. See I can write in Spanglish which is a start but I only took Spanish in high school which I too passed and also joined the Spanish club at my school where I learned just the tip of the iceberg when it came to Latin culture as a whole. Now I’m 29 and have a better grasp on the language due to interactions with native speakers. Even my dating life consists of learning lol, didn’t learn too much from my boyfriend from 🇵🇷 cause he didn’t speak it much but I learned how to bachata and gained a new library of Latin music which helped me substantially gain the Spanish lengua 👅. I had a mentor from 🇨🇴 who taught me salsa and I never looked back lol and now mi novio es mexicano🇲🇽 y brasileño🇧🇷 and the food that he cooks for me.....🤤😋🤤 omg forget about it lol. I also talk more with him more than I did in the past because I actually hired a tutor who was also from Colombia. I learned a little more vocab but the important thing was that I gain more self confidence to speak the language which led me from Philadelphia living with family and friends to Southern California living with Mexicans and Guatemalans 🇬🇹. I currently am picking up a lot of music and vocab from the people of 🇨🇺 since I am learning Casino y Rueda de Casino which is basically salsa cubana and hands down my favorite version of salsa I’ve learned to date 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾. Anyhow as for speaking Spanish It’s hard don’t get me wrong but if you stick with it and be consistent with speaking even if it’s just to yourself in the mirror or in the car it doesn’t matter you’re speaking the language. Once you get over the fear it gets easier and it gets fun. I love going into businesses owned by native speakers of Spanish and surprising them with the knowledge o have acquired simply by immersion and just shear passion, now my Spanish is nowhere near perfect of fluent however the people appreciate my desire to keep learning and talking with them and taking constructive criticism. It can bruise the ego a bit but that’s the learning process. When you have a chance try conversation exchange.com you can literally exchange convo with people of your target all of the world. And because you speak English there will be an endless supply of people who want to talk with you. You can video chat or just WhatsApp but nonetheless you’re learning. Another avenue I would suggest is italki which is a great platform to get one on one training with a personal tutor for reasonable prices. I hope reading my mini book 📖 lol encourages you to keep hope alive and get back in there, the Spanish speaking world needs you and welcomes you, if I can do it, having no family that speaks Spanish of of Latin descent then so can you, BUENA SUERTE 😉 👍🏾!

♥️♥️♥️♥️

Yes !! So true 😃 👏

Bluish Blow and gadiel too

Spanglish*

Su acento es hermoso. :3

@@marianap.5778 mixing 2 languages together isn't an accent... but what do I know lol.

Bluish Blow he definitely won

Eli, vos tambien tenes que practicar el español, si tu aprendes, aprendes el italiano, frances y portugues facilmente, yo ahorita aprendiendo el italiano y saludo desde Canada mi querido.

Aaa, então tá aprendendo Português?

It’s hard. The shame is real! But it doesn’t make me any less Mexican just because I don’t/can’t speak Spanish fluently.

Un paso a la vez

@@christinacortez8372 It doesnt make you less Mexican-American. If certainly makes you less Mexican if you don´t know the language nor share the common culture of Mexico. A Mexican from Mexico is infinitely closer in every way to a Colombian, a Spaniard or a Chilean than with a Mexican-American who doesn´t speak Spanish.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

We'd be like "NOOOOOO SHIIIIIIIIT SSSSHHHHEEEERRRRLLLLLOOOOOCCCCCKKKK"

I would understand if it were Spanish

It would be fine for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They need to do that next time because chaos 😂😂😂

Lmao my fav part too

Same 🤣

JajajJa que chistoso

Explíquenme!

@@Julieta-xt1ci bueno no se como será en EEUU, pero en sudamerica se molesta a los argentinos diciendo que ellos no son latinos si no europeos. No se si Gael lo dijo por eso.

Viviana Castillo I wish more bilingual people on this country were encouraged to embrace their ability rather than to hide what they know. People become so lost in trying to dominate this land with a single way of life than love watching our many cultures blossom. I think having the ability to speak more than one language is beautiful.

ChelzLovesPeanut hey, nicely said. i completely agree with you. which is why it’s so important for us to fully embrace our differences and cultures. its truly all so beautiful:) especially nowadays, with what america’s currently going through.

Idk but the accent is weird(but that's just my opinion)

Go Guerilla Foto he didn’t grow up fluent though. so no, he isn’t still learning but his spanish is good for someone who learned the language as they got older.

Fr tho! I’m from Guatemala but I was adopted and grew up with white ppl and never knew Spanish until middle school and even then it wasn’t that good as it was Spanish from SPAIN and I never learned actual slang or anything from my friends and they kinda excluded me bcuz I wasn’t a “true Latina”😒

I feel exactly the same way!

el video de inspiración* ;) Not trying to be annoying, just trying to help, spanish is my first language.

Mariana P. Annoying by simply correcting lol, no offense taken. Thanks for that, which is why I need to practice more. Thanks again 😊☺️💯✨

Lekha Reddy ☺️😊💯❤️✨

same here omg

same bruh !

If I may ask, how did that happen? When I was a teacher, I'd see that in biligual kids. They went back and forth between countries, so both languages were not realized completely.

Cindy Sinclair I feel like part of me thinking my English sucks is due to the fact that since it isn’t my first language I’ll never feel like I’m perfect at it. Even if I don’t have an accent and can communicate fluently. Long story short, I was born in NY but due to family issues had to move to my parents home country a month after being born and we would only come to the US for vacations. When I was 8 we decided to move back to the US permanently, that’s when I learned how to speak English. ESL programs sucked at the schools I went to, so I taught myself a lot of things by watching tv, reading books and dictionaries. Due to having such an extreme focus on being able to communicate properly in English, my Spanish suffered a lot. My Spanish is worse than my English which is a little embarrassing.

@@VanessaNicoleMakeup Wow! That is such a common occurrence with bilingual students. I have studied Spanish for sooooo many years and I'm also from NY. Spanish is/was everywhere. Many of my friends were PR/DR and we used to talk and I'd listen to their families. I wish I kept with it when i was younger. Now I have dedicated this passed year to studying. I feel so behind but we have to keep going, right?

Cindy Sinclair Yes, that’s awesome! Life would be utterly boring if we stopped learning. I’m hoping to improve my Spanish as well, and maybe one day even learn a new language. Best of luck! 😊

Perfecto, así él también aprende un poquito :)

jjaajajaj que buena

Jajajaja

I speak Spanish slowly but I think it's ok cuz I speak English slow too. But I tend to forget some because most people around me only speak English and my bilingual friends sometimes will but I don't get much practice but my reading and writing is good

Sii

I understood all of them because they were saying the same thing that was written in English underneath.

Me

This make me crack up lol!

MISMAAAAA

Don't worry, your kids probably won't speak it at all (and won't really care).

Don't u worry I can't roll my R's, I do also fee like a disappointment

Un tip es usar un lápiz bajo la lengua para practicar la dicción.¡Animo!

You can learn to roll them! Spanish is my fourth language and it took me like forever (maybe 2-3 years) but I managed to do it eventually :) Just keep trying and don't give up!

Cynthia Padilla Yes like i completely relate.

Ohhh...it's hardest, though, when I'm upset(con mi mami, usually!). Remembering to think in Spanish in the heat of the moment...not easy

@@jitkasuarez So americanized its disgust me

@@rodrigoruiz4452 are you gonna cry about it

@@rodrigoruiz4452 🧐

Your neighbors Spaniards aren't Latinos but they still speak Spanish, people who grew up in US aren't Latinos..

@@nickk.689 Well wait.. Basically what makes Latin America "Latino" is the influence of the Spanish element innit? (Spanish is a language of Latin origin) Especially when it comes to the language and the ethnicity (I don't like the word "race") 🤔. After all, The whole American continent and the Carribean islands were colonized by Europeans (whether if they were Spaniards, Anglo-saxons...). The people who lived there before these colonisations were ONLY their native ancestors (like the Maya people, Diné people, Taínos...). So many of them were unfortunately killed and the lands were colonised by these Europeans who also brought slaves from Africa there. It makes the Latino people who they are today. I'm sorry for reminding you of this bitter historical chapter but it is still truth and your comment made me explain it so. And by the way, people who live in the US can still be Latino as long as their parents or grandparents are.... They can be both American and Latino and there's nothing wrong with it. I'm not a historian nor a sociologist after all but I find this quite logical.

No, the term "latino" is only used for latino america/South America. "Hispanic" is the word used for all the spanish speaking people (including Spain). :)

@@marags6085 Of course, I totally agree :) I know nobody call Spanish people "Latinos" haha.. I was just trying to explain the origin of the word ;)

Thank you for appreciating our culture I love Moroccan food and music and hopefully will one day visit.

Zunk on INSTA KLK con KLK

Ayyyyeee KLK 🇩🇴😏💯✨

Nope. Muchos hispanos han nacido aquí y se habla más inglés que español. No es querramos olvidar el español es que se usa menos.

no pienso que sea solamente en USA 😂 yo no vivo aya y mismo me olvido de muchas palabras (y ni siquiera se como escrivirlo bien 😅)

Es por el entorno, puede que en familia hablen español, pero en la escuela, trabajo, con los amigos incluso en la calle se ven en la necesidad de comunicarse en inglés diariamente.

?? This is the Cuban flag

Pipeblau que viva el amor, chingao 😂

Ivan failed in his first sentance he said "so" instead of "asi".

@@vianjelos nosotros los puertorriqueños utilizamos palabras en ingles como muletilla todo el tiempo 😂😂

@@alec2979 but the challenge was to not speak english. He knows the spanish words for the english words he used...so he still failed.

A lot of people say challenge nowadays when it comes to social media slang, even if they are speaking in Spanish.

@@CherryBlossom-mj4qu nah, my mom doesn't, and she lives in nyc. neither do my entire family in D.R. people using english slang mainly live in America🤷‍♂️

Zack Munson Excelente idea. Hazlo.

Margarita MilitaryPolice voy a hacer en lunes!!

Lol....I was just saying how every word he spoke was in spanish except the word " challenge". Even I didn't know how to say it in Spanish😝

Ever Quiles jajajaj es un gran reto para el no sabe nada de español pero no le duele aprender español le debería enseñar su abuela hablar español

He also said "so" and that's not Spanish

Omg yes!!! It drove me nuts

El realmente habla español bien puertorriqueño. Muchos usamos anglicismos todo el tiempo. Incluso sus "so" o "challenge" es normal aqui

¡Pensé exactamente lo mismo! Gracias por decirlo.

Exacto. Ojalá yo que mi crush sea mi pretendiente.

Yo tambien, no estoy latina/hispanic pero aprenda español por mi cuenta y esas videos ayudarme mucho

Mario Plushies and Gaming you mean soy bc estoy means I am for temporary things just a friendly reminder

Estoy aprendiendo tambiénnn

ohla j’étudie le français dans l’école mtn et c’est très difficile. mon vocabulaire est,,lacking, et je luttes trouver les mots. aussi je n’ai pas la confiance en ma capacité parler la langue mdr

I feel that 😀

You mean accents? There are not "Spanish dialects"! Just different accents.

@@MsJanetWood On the contrary, there are I know many of my Spanish professors from college who would respectfully disagree with this claim Yes there are accents, and here's a link to what I'm referring to as dialects www.fluentu.com/blog/spanish/spanish-dialects/

@@MsJanetWood Accent refers to pronunciation. Dialect refers not only to pronunciation but also to the many other differences, such as using different vocabulary, conjugating verbs differently (ocupando vos, por ejemplo), and grammar. Yo por ejemplo aprendí y hablo castellano chileno y se diferencia de otros dialectos en todos esos aspectos. Some countries even have more than one dialect of Spanish!

Speaking in different dialects or accents might not be a good idea especially for Maya or Eli possibly even Curly who don't have strong accents themselves. Its similar to trying to learn Portuguese when you don't fully know Spanish. It will affect their own accents and is probably the reason why Maya hasn't developed a Mexican dialect because she's around all the other dialects. I'm mex. too and my own Spanish is about the same as Maya's and binge watching Pero Like and other videos especially Gadiel's videos have affected my own Spanish. I've caught myself change up my inflections, slur and drop letters or words. It's helped but has also harmed my own speech.

¡Una compatriota en los comentarios! Me hace mucha ilusión ver que se esfuerzan con el idioma y que hay españoles que siguen sus vídeos. Me da la impresión de que en España sigue habiendo mucha gente con visión imperialista sobre los latinoamericanos, pero es que su cultura y forma de hacer es tan interesante que nos enriquece a todos :)

I give that to you! 😊

that was hilarious to me. pan de calabaza = pan de calabasas hahaha

Natalie Ramos I’m a simple man. I see Maya, I like it.

Cédric Franze N’ayez pas peur de parler votre français, avec le temps vous pouvez améliorer votre vocabulaire. Ce qui est plus important c’est de ne pas oublier la langue et d’essayer! (Moi, je suis pas français, je suis un mexicain qui habite aux États-Unis mais je suis en train d’apprendre le français). Bonne journée!

moi, j suis pas français mais je l’apprends dans l’école et c très difficile je mentirai. la langue c compliqué comprendre. mais tu dois d’essayer !! ca est ce qui est important

te olvidas de Gadiel? el es uno de los únicos quien no se les fue el acento y se ve cómodo hablando en español….

There's an app called HelloTalk which is basically practicing with real Spanish speakers

Girls look at him as the most gorgeous man on pero like, but there's two problems or flaws (mostly problems), On the date night cook off, his burger spewed with pink liquid coming out of the burger when he cut it. As soon as I saw it come out, it was looking raw on the inside but done on the outside. I've been seeing the comments on that video that he can't cook for crap but hey don't count him out yet, he has a lot of time to improve cooking and speaking spanish. Ivan, you can talk a lot of crap about Eli's Spanish, but he'll improve over time and he will prove the doubters wrong. Just like Maya. I'm rooting for you two to get better at Spanish!! Your two are without a doubt the funniest people on pero like. Love y'all.
