Ben Affleck learned Spanish in Mexico as a young teenager (he and his brother lived there for a while and worked on some children’s television programs). This is not a case of an adult learning it later, but someone living there and learning the language as a child and then working to keep it up later. Also, regional dialects and phrases are just as correct and valid as “formal education”. Learning a language by actually speaking it with people and having them teach you is just as valid as a scholarly approach. In Texas we often have a blend of accents and types of Spanish because lots of schools teach Castilian Spanish formally, but the majority of native speakers are using a Mexican or Central American vocabulary/grammar/pronunciation. And most people don’t have to “talk to their gardener” (wtf) to practice or use Spanish in Texas - it’s actually harder to NOT learn any Spanish here. And that’s across the entire state, and all social levels.

@vigente 5 месяцев назад

I'm Mexican and I lived in Texas. I was surprised when I found out that gringos learn more Spanish in Texas than people like me learn English there. I had to go further north to improve my English, because if I stayed in Texas I would've spent ten years without any need to improve my English.

Viggo sounds exactly like a native speaker from Argentina/Uruguay. He speaks in a way that old people from here used to speak, which is considered a bit more "formal" way to speak like when he says "he estado" instead of "estuve".

Don't understand where he got that Viggo sounds ambiguous with influence from Spain, Italy, and France. Lol. Gwyneth would rank second. She has an amazing European Spanish accent, but her pacing is that of a non-native speaker. You can hear she is a bit careful in selecting her words and processing the right grammar in the language. Freddie Highmore would rank third. His Spanish accent is also incredible, though a little be below Gwyneth. When he says "carrera" (career) he doesn't roll that double r, and when he says "hablo" (I speak), he makes that b extremely bilabial, which in Spanish, the b often tends to be slurred, unless it is the initial letter or is preceded by a nasal consonant such as an M or N.

McConaughey is an interesting case. I used to be a bilingual elementary school teacher in rural Texas. Where he grew up, there isn’t just Spanish around, there’s Spanglish. People speak a mix of the two languages and code-switch mid sentence all the time. It’s Spanish with English words mixed in, confused grammar, and then all of a sudden there will be a phrase or two in full English and then back to Spanish. A good portion of native Spanish speakers in Texas, and most likely the majority, have never had a real formal education in Spanish. It’s just learned at home as kids and then as they go through school they layer the English on top. It’s really interesting. And the Texas drawl being mixed in isn’t weird to me. No one is going to think he grew up speaking Spanish at home, but the way he spoke it wouldn’t come off as weird here as it might in other places.

@M_SC 2 года назад

That's one point I really noticed Californians and Texan learning spanish need to tackle, pocho spanish (spanish from illegals/people with no formal education) is a very low quality spanish disconnected from its source, so when they try to catch it from spanish speakers in the US it lacks a lot from its full version in Spain/Latin America and it is mostly spanglish patched with slang from all over the place, is not bad, it just so low level it cannot really produce a good level.

@nonamenoname2420 2 года назад

Yeah, Viggo Mortensen takes the cake. His construct of "sos conocido" only happens in the "voceo" countries of Argentina and Central America. You have to reach complete native level to get that type of sophisticated use of Spanish since "voceo" is one of the more obscure linguistic features of the language. As to the accent, he's got a perfect "porteño" accent, which has a lot of Italianate inflections due to the historical Italian influence that was heavy in Buenos Aires. The same with the Castilian inflections in some words--lots of recent Castilian immigrants to Buenos Aires also influenced the "porteño" accent. As to French influence, well, I don't know where that's coming from. You're not very familiar with "porteño," hence your slight confusion about Viggo's accent.

Viggo has lived in Argentina when he was a kid. That´s why he has his particular spanish accent (from Buenos Aires). "The family moved to Venezuela, then Denmark, and eventually settled in Argentina in the provinces of Córdoba, Chaco, and Buenos Aires, where Mortensen attended primary school and acquired a fluent proficiency in Spanish" (Wikipedia).

Awesome video! I love seeing celebrities get out of their comfort zones to speak other languages. Will Smith is my favourite here. You can tell that it makes him very nervous but he goes after it because he know how much the Spanish speakers will appreciate it. Being nervous when speaking a new language actually makes you more likeable than if you are over-confident for your skill level. I think we see this in Ben Affleck, his Spanish is better than Wills, in my opinion. But he is so confident with it that, he trips over his words and mumbles a lot. Anyway, love videos like this!

The Spanish that Will Smith spoke, I would consider to be quite flawless on the grammar, you can really notice he's nervous and struggling a little bit to find words, but because he was speaking slowly and taking his time he found the right words to say, and on that grammar aspect he impressed me a lot.

@Clau Santino Clasificar variedades de idiomas en acentos y dialectos no es algo bien definido, es de pura ambigüedad, hay recursos que llaman las variedades de español acentos, y hay otros que las llaman dialectos. Nadie es incorrecto en llamarlos así, pero los llamados "dialectos" de una lengua no se distinguen por entender a otros, eso sí es erróneo. De todo modo se esta dejando de usar esos términos como clasificación, y simplemente se esta usando "variedad".

Virgo Mortensen speaks PERFECT Spanish. His Spanish is completely Argentinean and more precisely from Buenos Aires. Even the way of expressing his thoughts is accurately "porteño". And this is why he says "sos" instead of "eres". And he is definitely my favorite, even tho as you said, all of them deserve credit for wanting to speak Spanish, yeay!!

On set phrases: I was in the US Army and studied at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California twice - once for Spanish and the other for Russian. During the first six weeks we had daily dialogues to memorize. Some people (who didn't like doing it) complained that it wasn't a natural way of speaking. But I'd also done the same when studying German in high school and found that having those memorized set phrases a wonderful aid when actually in country and trying to speak with natives. Of course, the joke was that learning to ask "Wo ist der Bahnhof? didn't teach you to understand the answer. But still, the blend of learning dialogues, grammar and vocabulary helped all around to be able to speak the language properly. One of the most difficult things I have found in the language teaching I've done is helping people to step over the line of fear they're going to make a mistake. It keeps them muted. Just go ahead. Try. Make the mistakes and laugh about them. It's really important to have a sense of humor when learning a language. My classmates and I in Monterey belly-laughed our way through. There were other classes there the students were deadly serious. It didn't help them learn.

I'm a language tutor for adults and 100% the most important thing I stress with my students is that they are safe to make mistakes with me and that mistakes is how we learn. I agree that we have to keep a sense of humour about it--when they have a good time they feel compelled to try more, and they will keep coming back and learning more and trying again because it's not a stressful environment for them I'm also learning a language myself (Egyptian Arabic, third language) and at first I wasn't sure if memorising set phrases was helpful, but as I progress and I start putting together the puzzle of how to actually speak it, it's definitely helped as I pull words and phrases out of my memory and replace words into it to create new sentences

I wonder if native speakers of uncommon languages have a harder time understanding bad versions of their language. Like if you're a native speaker of Finnish or Hungarian, and someone tries speaking in your language to you, but they make a lot of mistakes, is that hard to understand? Because I would imagine that most Finnish or Hungarian you'll ever hear is from native-speakers, with the occasional second-language user who had a really, really high level of motivation to learn. Whereas a native Spanish speaker probably hears at least a bit of bad Spanish on a daily basis, so they'd be more used to parsing out the meaning.

Mh, me as a spanish native speaker accept second language speakers mistakes as we try to understand italian and portuguese without any translation, in fact many fb and yt posts in spanish are followed and commented by portuguese speakers that way, also some portuguese singers and football players never embrace full spanish and we accept it, finally, some italian singers sing in spanish and they also let some italian words and heavy accent when they are interviewed, so we accept a lingua franca on daily basis, but as spanish is hard to learn we are kind of sure you must learn it formaly or on daily basis to achieve some improvement,so before that you'll be a language tourist or aficionado

@69cola69 2 года назад

I had a regular customer at the store I work in a few years ago. He was originally from Russia, but he had lived a few years in Finland and had a Finnish wife. When he found out I was Finnish , he started speaking Finnish to me. I was born and raised in Sweden , but my parents are originally from Finland, so I learned Finnish as my first language. Anyway, this Russian gentleman spoke Finnish fairly well, though grammatically, he made many mistakes. But I never had any difficulty understanding him and I was just happy that he made the effort to speak to me in my first language. Learning another language isn't easy for most people and requires a lot of hard work. So I think it should be OK to make mistakes in a second language, so you can be brave enough to use it. As long as you can understand each other, that's the most important thing. If you learn to speak a language at a native level, that's just a bonus

In high school and later in college, I studied Spanish, but never became fluent. However my accent is pretty good.
