    1-Hablar Rapido
    2-Cortar las palabras como por ejemplo: "estoy" nosotros decimos "toy"
    3-Hablar alto
    Y ahí está el acento dominicano.

    They thought I was from Haiti. However, When I started talking they was like where you from? I said, I just moved from Minneapolis. They said, ohhh!!!

What happens is that "picao" is "picado", not slang just droppin of sounds (a very common one across all variants of Spanish, to drop the d in words like that). Quiquiriquí it's a common onomatopoeia for the sound roosters do, maybe I am missing something here (as I said I'm not cuban) but it doesn't seem to go beyond that. Also candelita do sounds as cuban slang because I don't recognize it, I thought it meant fire if I deduce from another Celia Cruz song but here it talks about "fumar" (to smoke). And that's all, maybe there are two specific cuban words there, the rest is just common things in Spanish in general.

    Oye como tu ‘ta? Great channel! It’s amazing and awesome that you pick up all the subtleties of the languages even though you’ve never been out of the U.S. Especially how awesome you pick up on the regional variantes as well. You definitely have an ear for language! You actually remind me of myself when I was growing up in NY surrounded by a bunch of friends from ‘ el ‘Can’: Cuba, Puerto Rico, La República Dominicana. Pues, vives en Nueva York? De todos modos, que te opine como pronuncia la ‘ll’ y “y’ en las partes diferentes de La República Dominicana?
    Edit: I just watched the 1st part of your Cuban Video and found out you have been out of the country. I should of watched these videos in order lol. Anyway, you still have an amazing ear for language either way. For all I know u could be from Belize ;)

    I love Dominican Spanish. I want to preface this next comment with this: I think Dominican Spanish is the best and I also love that is evolving. I think the last thing about “i” becoming “r” or “l” is like a compensation for El Cibao shift. People being unsure what is a “true r” and a “true i” in speech, so they, for lack of a better word, “guess” on whether to use “r/l” or “i”.

    What are some Dominican "resources" to help grasp the accent if you're not actually able to speak with dominicans all the time? What did you use?

    •  6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Search for Dominican tv programs on TH-cam. I will tell you that most of them are talk shows the interview artists and celebrities, which I don't really love, but they help. There's a show called de extremo a extremo, aquí se habla español, noche de luz etc. There are also Dominican movies, which aren't always the best quality, but they have the real slang and accents in there and everything like that.

    Enojao is a normal slang version in Spain. The d disappears in multiple similar words as comio (comido), hablao (hablado) etc. But only d that appears in that position of a word

    •  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      When I talk about neutral Spanish, I'm not talking about the words. I know the words are Dominican, but they way that I read it is neutral, because I pronounced all of the sounds. That is what I was referring to. Thanks for you input though. Very interesting about Spain!

    • @karlpj1
      @karlpj1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @ I removed my comment about correct spanish as the problem only appear in your first spanish sentence (that I can not understand) The rest are OK.
      Only the missing d is similar to local spanish accent. The rest of your examples are quite unusual. Normally america spanish is influenced by Andalucia spanish accent, that is quite similar to american spanish, but not to your examples. But the "feeling" is yet similar to andalucia accent. Many emigrants to america come from there as the main port to america was Sevilla.

    I’m Mexican American but this is dope. I love seeing diversity and other ethnic customs. There’s a lot of Puerto Rican’s and Mexicans (probably Dominicans too) where I’m from but I never really knew the type of accent that Dominican’s have. I know a couple Puerto Rican’s who don’t have the really fast speaking Spanish. One of my friends sounds like how we Mexicans speak Spanish, haha. Anyways, not to be rude or anything, I was just never really exposed to seeing both together, but I never really knew the difference between Puerto Rican and Dominican Spanish. That’s why I said “(probably Dominican’s too)” up there. I just watched a commercial with Al Horford and he spoke really slow and really clear Spanish. Then I thought about how Romeo Santos and Prince Royce also have a really slow and really clear Spanish when they sing. I wanna get to know more about the language

    Bro, I just used this video for my Social Studies and Basic English classes. History Hint: Most of our, vowel drops, and consonant drops are as early as the very dawn of slavery here in the D.R. (the whole hemisphere actually since this was the land Spaniards arrived in first) enslaves were bereft of their African culture by being obligated to assume Spanish culture, religion, and most importantly learn the language.
    No immigrant will ever speak any language as a native speaker. So essentially, our way to speak Spanish was the first-ever AAVL (African-American Vernacular Language) since it came from Spanish, yet a Spaniard would not understand when we speak the way we do.

    Hi Rickie. You mentioned accents and some people think they're better than others (linguistically) because of their accent.
    I live in Birmingham, England. Many people here and abroad think they know what a Birmingham accent is but they're actually listening to a "black country" (west of Birmingham) accent. Thankfully I don't have much of any accent.
    Those from the south of England consistently make fun of anyone and how they speak if they're from the wider Midlands area or further north.
