I know y'all love the PR Spanish videos 😎 so I'm always excited when we can put one together for you. Take your Spanish to the next level with this - speakspanishfaster.com/youtube/
I was born in Fajardo, PR and left when I was 3yrs old. Being a Navy brat with 2 Puerto Rican parents I was very lucky to have our culture and language follow me across the globe. That being said, I know exactly what it feels like to be an outsider both in the US and back in PR. I recently went back to visit and the majority of the people accepted me with open arms. But there was all the fair share that tried to make me feel as if I was less for not carrying the accent. Like I was a fake Puerto Rican for not having one. I don’t even have an accent in English so you can’t tell where I’m from. Product of moving around every 2-3 yrs I guess? But like yourself, it really hurt my self esteem and I admire what you’re doing for others. I can only hope that others who simply want to learn another language aren’t dismayed by those type of ignorant people. I know they understood my Spanish just fine when when I’d tell them to go F$&k themselves! To be so proud to be Boricua and to have your own people disrespect for sounding different…thank God it never wavered me from continuing to be bilingual. Thank you and keep up the amazing work. ¡ Somos Boricua como él coquí!
Rocky this is so helpful man. I can’t wait to become fluent in Puerto Rican Spanish… so I can finally talk to family in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷… I should look into your one on one help…
Thanks for posting this! It’s true that your intonation and emphasis on certain syllables can determine how good you sound. This was a good reminder. Can you do another video with your cousin where you have a natural everyday convo speaking PR Spanish? I think it would be helpful to hear how people really speak in everyday situations.
So helpful! Just started working as an interpreter and while I heard PR Spanish growing up, I'm amazed by how many different ways of speaking there are on la isla. This is great, please keep making these videos!
I've been going on & off learning spanish. I get annoyed because I want to sound more like my family (I'm Nuyorican. Mom stopped talking to us in spanish once we started school). So glad I found your channel. Know I can use what I know and build on it before I get the courage to start having conversations
Amazing amazing! I am designing programming at the university and local community level, and live in a PR dominant community. NOTHING out there, commercial or otherwise, is as good. THANK YOU and keep going! I will be sending your videos to EVERYONE.
Always grateful brother!!! You are one of the people who actually inspired me to take my Spanish learning journey seriously. As we say in the navy.....thank u for your service
Hola Rocky y mis amigos…Viarajemos a la isla de “Puelta Hico”😊 la próxima semana. Es mi segunda vez, mi esposa nació allá. Estoy feliz por la oportunidad para practicar español otra vez. Se puede ser difícil los nativos en al ambiente cuando escuchar, pero yo lo disfruto la práctica siempre. Quedaremos en Carolina acerca de San Juan🇵🇷 ☀️🌴👏🏼
im salvadorian but i understand the puerto rican accent almost perfectly. Maybe it's because i listen to a lot of puertorican music when i was younger and i still do 😎😅
I thank you for your videos, as a PT that learned from only Mexicans, I was astounded at the different style of speaking, choice of words, lack of the letter "s" in many cases, etc. Now that I work with Puerto Rican people in downtown Wilmington, DE, I really need help. There aren't very many resources available on your type of Spanish. I like reading what he is going to say in Spanish and English, before I hear him saying it.
I luv this video boss. Especially blends. I notice that too when speakers from PR say pal for para el and pala for para la. Just like deporla. Keep this coming. More for PR and DR speakers too.
Hola Maria, right now we don't but anything we offer can be found at speakspanishfaster.com - We also hold live workshops ever few months that you might enjoy also.
I need to start learning the language, because it's my 2nd language, my father is 100% Puerto Rican came straight from the island, but he never wanted us to learn Spanish, and I hate that me and my sibling grew up not talking the Puerto Rican language, which I want to learn it so bad. so is there a course for beginners to start learning the Puerto Rican language?
What I like is that he makes mistakes. Like anyone speaking any language, we’re not speakers. So when I heard him stumbling, it wasn’t that I wasn’t understanding - it’s that he was being a natural speaker! When I make those mistakes, it’s not as important as getting back into the flow of speaking instead of getting embarrassed.

The same happened to be when I came back to PR, but I took pride of being fully bilingual. Love that your family kept speaking Spanish at home.
Yess!! please do one every day :D ... this is EXACTLY what we need to learn PR Spanish.
Haha I will try to get more!

Hi! Do you offer private tutoring?
Hola Maria, right now we don't but anything we offer can be found at speakspanishfaster.com - We also hold live workshops ever few months that you might enjoy also.
I love this video! Oh , When it comes to the pitch and rise of the noise, when is it the time to do that when speaking Spanish?
I need to start learning the language, because it's my 2nd language, my father is 100% Puerto Rican came straight from the island, but he never wanted us to learn Spanish, and I hate that me and my sibling grew up not talking the Puerto Rican language, which I want to learn it so bad. so is there a course for beginners to start learning the Puerto Rican language?
Me encanto !!!!
Muchas gracias!
Love this video! Your the only one out here doing this, these videos are great!
Thanks so much Jack!

So when I heard him stumbling, it wasn’t that I wasn’t understanding - it’s that he was being a natural speaker! When I make those mistakes, it’s not as important as getting back into the flow of speaking instead of getting embarrassed.
This is a great analysis! Thanks so much for this. I agree so much!
Love the video, as always.
Do you have any content for Columbian Spanish practice, perhaps?
Let me see if I can link with any Colombians!
Should I learn Spanish before learning Puerto rican spanish?
So I was using your program. But I got a new phone and the app wasn’t backed up. Which app was it on
Search Kajabi!
Even when I slow it down I can't hear "voy a" within the first paragraph.
Does he say it or are my ears that unlearned lol thanks
It's okay keep practicing you will get it!
where is kevin?
At home in PR lol
