Literally experienced this in a Facebook group I’m in. Someone posted asking a personal question and a black woman commented and said “Mines didn’t”. A white women commented on that comment and said “you have multiple? Lol”. I obviously had to reply to the second comment and say “you knew what she meant”. Who are you to try to correct someone on the way they choose to communicate? I don’t understand how anyone can be so rude! I love this video! And I’m glad you said what you said!

Smh these folks dont know nothin 😂 And it's always the ones tryna correct Black folks that say shit like "bye Felicia" with no idea that came from a Black movie talking to a crackhead 🤣 Help em lawd
It is a bit insulting to a persons culture and heritage to live in their country and yet not only refuse to speak their language properly, but also to expect them to just get over it in fear of being viewed as judgmental. As a multilingual person, I would never do this in any country in the world, and I painstakingly try to avoid this by getting better at the languages I speak. A little empathy (putting yourself in some else’s shoes) goes a long way. Although, this does kind of sound like you overreacting to an otherwise innocent joke.
There are MANY different Caribbean accents out there, Cuba, Puerto Rico and others and they are all different. Dominicans have one of the worst pronunciation of them all.
Hey, everybody speaks Spanish differently; however, I do have a legit question. I know Dominicans do not pronounce the letter "s" as: Uno - Do - Tre or pill = patilla, or corner = equina. I was wondering, during grade school in DR when reading from a book during class, do you have to pronounce the "s" and do your teachers emphasize a pronunciation of all the letters in the Castellano alphabet?
THAT PART 🙌🏾 People ALWAYS have something to say not matter what you do so you might as well just do YOU 😎 And I'm with you on the reggaeton! Let me know if you ever want some music recommendations. I gotchu!
I just found your channel and what your doing is dope. This kinda hits close to home because my granddaddy was black American born in GA in 1934 then his dad moved his wife and kids to Cuba in 1939 til 1948 to smuggle rum to Florida, so my granddaddy grew up in Cuba and lived in Miami in a time when you had to know Spanish to live in south Florida and I grew up hearing him speak Spanish all the time, he tried to teach me and my cousins to speak the language then we lived in Ohio after he passed and we could speak a little Spanish but we grew up around the Mexican dialect and in school we were told what we knew was wrong so that made me and my cousins not speak Spanish at all and after 20 years we basically lost the ability to speak Spanish and now at 27 I want to learn to speak the language because me and my cousins wanna go to Cuba to see the land where our grandfather spent 10 years of his life and experience the culture he loved and always told us about
This is so cool man. Thank you for sharing that story. I've heard too many times how someone learned Spanish one way, was told it was wrong or was made fun of, then stopped speaking it and lost it. But I'm thrilled that you've decided to relearn and I'd love to be a part of that journey 🙌🏾 Hit me up if you ever have any questions and I'll either get you an answer or make a video on it if I can 💪🏾 Let's do the damn thang
I'm a white gringo and I've never heard that Dominican Spanish was bad Spanish. I like the way it sounds, the flow, the rythem, or whatever you call it. I have friends from DR and PR, so I might be biased. You are right though, you should learn the dialect you're going to use.
This video makes me wanna cry, because I just couldn't put into words why I love Dominican Spanish. It's very informal and I love how they speak the salngs and ghetto how we speak in the caribbean lol. Its very passionate and intimate 8n their language, and you make a joke or sarcasm and we all laugh that's how we caribbean ppl are. I love it, love this video and love you. I love colloquial and slangs, makes me feel me.
KLK hermano! Thank you for tuning in 🙏🏽I have a separate video where I list a bunch of resources you can use to learn Dominican Spanish: th-cam.com/video/T6fAudF-iC0/w-d-xo.html I'll also be teaching more Dominican Spanish here as well so stay tuned because there's more to come 💪🏾
Im Dominican, I born and raised in NYC. You do have Dominican that speak "ghetto Spanish" just like you have in NYC but you also have Dominican that speak very well and not with an I or S. It depends on the area you visit in Dominican Republic. It is offensive when people say Dominican speak bad Spanish.
💯 Facts bro I can't stand when people try to say Dominican Spanish is bad. And honestly I don't think the way anyone talks is "ghetto." I think that's all just propaganda to further tear down people who speak a certain way and come from certain circumstances, you feel me? I think the whole spectrum of regional Dominican dialects are all beautiful. I love it aaalllll 🙌🏽🇩🇴
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I myself am Dominican and they way we speak Spanish is not one of our strong suits. The point of language is communication so you can get your point across. Spanish speakers from other countries often have a hard time understanding Dominicans. Herein lies the problem. Whether it sounds ugly or uneducated is another conversation. Colombian, Mexican, and Peruvian Spanish stand out to me because these are easily intelligible by other Spanish speakers. It may take a non-Dominican a moment to figure out that gobeina’o means gobernados.

Tú tienes mucha razón, a mí personalmente me gusta el español del caribe porque tiene un flow diferente. Creo que eso es lo que al principio me atrajo al acento. También me gusta la afro diáspora que está bien presente en el caribe desde La Habana hasta la orillas de Venezuela. De hecho la única diferencia entre ellos y nosotros es el hecho de que hace siglos los europeos les trajo a Latinoamérica y nosotros a Estados Unidos y por eso hablamos idiomas diferentes.

It all depends because not all Dominicans use slang words. There are plenty of Dominicans who speak Spanish very well, especially if they’re educated or come from good families and not all Dominicans are black either. Most of my family is Dominican and they look mostly European aside from a few family members. Dominicans are mixed ppl in general (European, African, Indigenous/Taino) roots
This is great bro, I’m an African American with Bajan (Barbados)&spanish blood. However I fell in love with the Spanish culture the Caribbean Spanish culture in particular I gravitated towards Dominican Republic and now my gf (Afro Latina) calls me a hick 😂😂... entonce yo toy un platano yts but I’m glad to see I’m not alone

I can relate when it came to learning the Puerto Rican dialect and accent, although I blend it with Domincan slang here and there, folks really talked bad about Caribbean based Spanish. I would be told oh listen to this country or this because iT's cLeAreR! My argument, if I can understand them, then I'll be able to under you better.
This is too relatable for me 🤦🏽♂️ that "its clearer" just hit it. I cant tell you how many times I've heard that. Just cuz you cant understand it dont have nothin to do with me 😂 no hay ningun problema aquuuuiiiii
If you look at the autochthonous musics of the Caribbean islands, the music of blacks is similar. Drumming with rhythms and solos, call and response in the music and the chanting, and you also see this in the blues which obviously is also a black music. Im talking in this case about rumba, guaguancó, són, plena, bomba, etc. Idk know much about DR honestly besides merengue, bachata, and modern pop tastes. Idk much about the roots of those genres specifically. Imo salsa is the superior latin american music! Not even a hot take haha
You are 1,000% correct. Minus that part about salsa being the best lmao 😂 I'm a bachata man myself. But exactly like you said, all of that music is very tightly tied to African roots, and I love that. It just gives music this feeling that you can recognize in your soul lmao 😂 but for real!
@@Blacklingual bueno, en serio, no es que una sea mejor o peor que la otra, pero de mi conocimiento, pienso que la música cubana, que dónde la salsa deriva, tiene una profundidad en su técnica y su lenguaje que es única, en mi humilde opinion. Se de muchos músicos tremendos de bachata y merengue pero esos géneros no son mi forte.
@@LaVerdad65 aaahhh ok siiii ya entiendo. Y si a mi me encanta escuchar la salsa porque tiene tanta musicialidad. Pero phew, esa vaina es un entrenamiento 😂 Puedes bailar la salsa?
Es una estupidez, procurar estigmatizar un tipo de dialecto o forma, manera de expresarse en un idioma cualquiera, dado que en todos lis idiomas y lenguas del mundo, existe la gramatica, la ortográfia y la fonética para procurar expresarse lo mas idealmente y conforme a su escencia escrita y expresiva, pronunciación, de hecho, y en cuanto al Español y castellano mismo, en españa, existen españoles que hablan pésimo su propio idioma según su raza y etnia genetica,no todos los españoles habla n su español, segun lo recomienda y oficializa la real academia de la lengua española, y si no lo creen solo preguntelo a los gallegos, o a los Andaluces, ufff, todo un desastre.
Dominicans don't consider themselves black and really forsake their blackness though. I mean there are even jokes about it. You might be Dominican if on your cedula it says anthing but "black." They use terms like Indio oscuro, medio indio, etc. In addition there is a whole documentary that really nails Dominican culture with regard to race from PBS. Yes, they don't like Haitians...and it is cause they invaded the DR...but that isn't the ONLY reason. wink wink.
💯 It's crazy because I didn't learn how deep this was until about a year ago. I was like oooohhhhh...okay 🙃 But I'm slowly seeing a shift to SOME Dominicans recognizing their Blackness. And I hope that continues to trend 🙌🏽
@@Blacklingual I agree depending on what you mean by "blackness." If you are referring to their African influences and heritage ...I agree. If you mean the imported "blackness" of the Dominican York...I and, I believe, most Dominicans would disagree.
@@jorgelugo9473 The predominant characteristic of Dominican and Caribbean Spanish is from the Canary Islands where the majority of the Spanish immigrants came from. Spain sent them over. I can't imagine there isn't any African influence in Dominican Spanish however. There is African influence all throughout Spanish and Portuguese speaking America. So agree in part. I'd also comment that "blackness" cannot be put in a single category. There are many characteristics that "blacks" have in common but so-called African Americans are not the same as Brazilian blacks, Caribbean blacks, Mexican, Peruvian blacks...or even African blacks who are distinct one from another. It is similar to saying "Europeaness" "Whiteness" or "indianness" with regard to American Indians. They are made up of many distinct groups that happen to have similar skin color and physical features.
Well, my point is that these aren't "broken versions." They are their own dialects that actually have their own structure and grammatical rules that are different from the main language they branched off from. So not broken--evolved.
I'm Hispanic and I know a lot of Spanish accents, and you have chosen one of the worst Spanish speaking accents. The reason is bad, is not because of anybody being black or white, it has nothing to do with skin color, but everything to do with bad pronunciation of words. Learning Dominican Spanish is harder to learn because it's so bad.

That's not true. It has been influenced by canarians but the Caribbean Spanish came mostly from Andalucía.

Haha that's awesome! But nah, only my heart is Dominican. I'm a mixed African American ✊🏽 My mama is white, so that's where my skintone comes from 😊
I can relate when it came to learning the Puerto Rican dialect and accent, although I blend it with Domincan slang here and there, folks really talked bad about Caribbean based Spanish. I would be told oh listen to this country or this because iT's cLeAreR! My argument, if I can understand them, then I'll be able to under you better.
This is too relatable for me 🤦🏽♂️ that "its clearer" just hit it. I cant tell you how many times I've heard that. Just cuz you cant understand it dont have nothin to do with me 😂 no hay ningun problema aquuuuiiiii
@@Blacklingual Right? Ya tu sabe' sheesh!
Dominican Spanish is the equivalent of ebonics, after spending 22 months in paraisio
If you look at the autochthonous musics of the Caribbean islands, the music of blacks is similar. Drumming with rhythms and solos, call and response in the music and the chanting, and you also see this in the blues which obviously is also a black music. Im talking in this case about rumba, guaguancó, són, plena, bomba, etc. Idk know much about DR honestly besides merengue, bachata, and modern pop tastes. Idk much about the roots of those genres specifically.
Imo salsa is the superior latin american music! Not even a hot take haha
You are 1,000% correct. Minus that part about salsa being the best lmao 😂 I'm a bachata man myself. But exactly like you said, all of that music is very tightly tied to African roots, and I love that. It just gives music this feeling that you can recognize in your soul lmao 😂 but for real!
@@Blacklingual bueno, en serio, no es que una sea mejor o peor que la otra, pero de mi conocimiento, pienso que la música cubana, que dónde la salsa deriva, tiene una profundidad en su técnica y su lenguaje que es única, en mi humilde opinion. Se de muchos músicos tremendos de bachata y merengue pero esos géneros no son mi forte.
@@LaVerdad65 aaahhh ok siiii ya entiendo. Y si a mi me encanta escuchar la salsa porque tiene tanta musicialidad. Pero phew, esa vaina es un entrenamiento 😂 Puedes bailar la salsa?
@@Blacklingual por supuesto
😲
Dominican just speak the gangster Spanish the rest sounds mad wack the rest just hate no more options
Es una estupidez, procurar estigmatizar un tipo de dialecto o forma, manera de expresarse en un idioma cualquiera, dado que en todos lis idiomas y lenguas del mundo, existe la gramatica, la ortográfia y la fonética para procurar expresarse lo mas idealmente y conforme a su escencia escrita y expresiva, pronunciación, de hecho, y en cuanto al Español y castellano mismo, en españa, existen españoles que hablan pésimo su propio idioma según su raza y etnia genetica,no todos los españoles habla n su español, segun lo recomienda y oficializa la real academia de la lengua española, y si no lo creen solo preguntelo a los gallegos, o a los Andaluces, ufff, todo un desastre.
Exactamente! Estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo mi hermano 💯
Dominicans don't consider themselves black and really forsake their blackness though. I mean there are even jokes about it. You might be Dominican if on your cedula it says anthing but "black." They use terms like Indio oscuro, medio indio, etc. In addition there is a whole documentary that really nails Dominican culture with regard to race from PBS.
Yes, they don't like Haitians...and it is cause they invaded the DR...but that isn't the ONLY reason. wink wink.
💯 It's crazy because I didn't learn how deep this was until about a year ago. I was like oooohhhhh...okay 🙃 But I'm slowly seeing a shift to SOME Dominicans recognizing their Blackness. And I hope that continues to trend 🙌🏽
@@Blacklingual I agree depending on what you mean by "blackness." If you are referring to their African influences and heritage ...I agree. If you mean the imported "blackness" of the Dominican York...I and, I believe, most Dominicans would disagree.
Dominican Spanish has nothing to do with blackness. There are black latinos all over latin american that speak the same dialect of their birthland.
@@jorgelugo9473 The predominant characteristic of Dominican and Caribbean Spanish is from the Canary Islands where the majority of the Spanish immigrants came from. Spain sent them over. I can't imagine there isn't any African influence in Dominican Spanish however. There is African influence all throughout Spanish and Portuguese speaking America. So agree in part.
I'd also comment that "blackness" cannot be put in a single category. There are many characteristics that "blacks" have in common but so-called African Americans are not the same as Brazilian blacks, Caribbean blacks, Mexican, Peruvian blacks...or even African blacks who are distinct one from another. It is similar to saying "Europeaness" "Whiteness" or "indianness" with regard to American Indians. They are made up of many distinct groups that happen to have similar skin color and physical features.
Haces un contenido divertido pero está mal que taches la bandera Dominicana, eso es una falta de respeto.
Muchas gracias por ver hermano 💪🏾 y muy buen punto. Por eso lo cambié. Solo tengo admiración por Republica Dominicana 🙏🏽
Africans couldn't speak properly thats why black Latinos and black brasilian speak a broken version.
Well, my point is that these aren't "broken versions." They are their own dialects that actually have their own structure and grammatical rules that are different from the main language they branched off from. So not broken--evolved.
I'm Hispanic and I know a lot of Spanish accents, and you have chosen one of the worst Spanish speaking accents. The reason is bad, is not because of anybody being black or white, it has nothing to do with skin color, but everything to do with bad pronunciation of words. Learning Dominican Spanish is harder to learn because it's so bad.
Bad pronounciation is subjective that’s an opinion and rooted in white supremacy. You watched this whole video and still haven’t learnt anything
I'm dominican bro , and I love like u talk in spanish
Thank you bro! 🙏
