Muchísimas gracias por el vídeo! You mentioned about how Puerto Ricans pronounce syllable final -R as -L, just as many Caribbeans and southern Spaniards, yet there's something (I think) exclusively Puerto Rican you didn't mention, which is the throaty pronunciation of RR or initial R-. Interestingly this is something to be found in Portuguese too, not in other varieties of Spanish. 😁 Anyway the word "Puerto Rican" itself in Spanish shows exactly these two phenomena typical of the island: pueLtoJJiqueño 😉 (sorry Idk how to spell that throaty sound of RR 😅) Keep up the good work! 👍🏾😃

Ahorita = 'horita Beer = birra Está palabra no la he escuchado en Puerto Rico, y sí la he escuchado mucho en la ciudad de Nueva York. Pelado = pela'o Acicalado = acicala'o (En los años 60's acicala'o significaba estar bien vestido y presentable) Autobus = guagua Parquear = palquear = aparcar o estacionar Truck = camión o guagua Al garete = desastre o desorden Bochinche = chisme = cotilleo Cafre = kafre Esta palabra surge del árabe Kafir (pagano).

Also, PR was severed from Spain in the Spanish-American war (1898), so it went straight from being directly governed by Spain under the King of Spain, to being a U.S. Territory with an autonomous government, fairly recently.

I’m Puerto Rican and Mexican. My grandparents are native to Puerto Rico and my dads from Mexico. I didn’t grow up learning Spanish unfortunately and I get a lot of hate for not knowing Spanish. I could learn either Mexican Spanish or Puerto Rican Spanish but I wanna learn Puerto Rican Spanish because it’s just so unique and different. Hoping to learn more with you. Great work.

The word "chavo" comes from old Spanish "ochavo" which was a coin used in Spain and its colonies, PR being one of them of course. So that's why we PRs still use it to refer to money. Same reason we use the word "peso" instead of dollar. I learned this years ago in Spanish lit class when I went to the University of PR in the 90s. I didn't see gufeo/gufeao/gufeá which was very popular in late 70s and through the 80s and GenXrs and maybe early millennials probably still use. 😊🇵🇷

My family is Italian. The neighborhood I grew up in was half Italian/ Puerto Rican. To this day most of my friends are PR. I know Italian, I know Spanish from hanging around my friends houses. The 2 languages are so close if you know one the others no problems. I picked up ALL the PR differences .Dropping the D, LLs as J, Dropping the S. All that. I worked with a guy, Jose, from Guatemala, my Spanish made him crazy.

[@SpeakSpanishFaster]

Hey Gary thanks so much! Italian is another language close to my heart. I also speak Italian. Now I'm trying to learn Napolitano! I've always loved Italy and it's by far my favorite country in the world... and the debate is not even close. But yes, learning Italian was easy because it is so similar to Spanish :)

I hear you!! Both my parents speak Spanish. I asked my pop why he didn't make us speak Spanish. He said, you will learn Spanish at school. In middle school we had the option to learn a different language in 6th grade. I chose the beginner option, which was, French, German, and Spanish. I passed French and German with A's and Spanish-a 70. (They were teaching me Mexican Spanish) Two different languages without my knowing. The cool thing with learning you Puerto Rican Spanish....some of our words are unique to us because of our Taíno heritage. We are a unique group of people. Keep learning!! 💖💗❤ Keep searching!!

After living a total of 25 years in Arizona, and a 2 year stay in Madrid, Espana, I feel like my Spanish (slang) is so mixed up. So, I stick to the basic “Castellano” so I can communicate with any Spanish speaker. My daughter just started learning Spanish in High School, where she could only learn Latin at her school for middle school. I’m excited for her to learn, but being a native nuyorican, I miss hearing a lot of these words you’re teaching! Love it! Of course, I’ll have to wait until my girl gets a good base before throwing these sayings at her, but when I take my family back to PR, your video will be priceless!! It made me nostalgic to hear some words my grandmother used to say like revolu!!! 👍

I love these Puerto Rican spanish videos! My goal is to speak fluently in this dialect. I am part Puerto Rican from my fathers side of the family who are from New York, however I am from Arizona. I took spanish throughout elementary and highschool, but being in Arizona its more of the Mexican dialect. I can read in spanish perfectly (although most the time i have no idea what im saying 🤣) I can understand some spanish when im listening if its spoken slow enough, and i can order my food. Thats about it. I dont know enough to have a long conversation, but i can "get around" if I need to. I just bought your 7 day spanish program! Im super excited because i want to speak fluent spanish!

Even they use to be amazed at how good I sounded. But it’s easier when you hear it being spoken everyday like I did. For some reason I always understood more than I could speak😂😂😂
