[@Li12f12]

A lot of these words (ie Yuma) are more characteristic of the generations that have immigrated from Cuba more recently. My grandparents fled in exile right at the start of the revolution and they had never heard of some of these words. Also hacere has the emphasis on the middle syllable and bola emphasis on the last syllable. Hope this helps y que viva una Cuba libre 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺

[@LearnSpanishWorld]

Hola Li12f12, thanks for the interesting comment 😊

[@keepersofthegrid]

Same! Mine came to the states as the revolution was kicking off in the 50s, some of these I've not heard before 💖🇨🇺💞🇺🇸💖

[@spiritdoc926]

Yep, 98% new generation “Cuban” words/expressions. There are three waves of linguistic variation at this point among Cuban speech patterns, and these are mostly, with the exception of a very few, used by those immigrating within the last decade or so. There’s a clear and very obvious distinction between Spanish spoken by Cubans who immigrated prior to the 80’s. There’s certainly a BIG difference with pronunciation and diction. So much so, that Cubans living in the states can find it difficult to understand the newer generations and populace.

[@ChristianWFL]

Asere Mr Brigs,! opps where did I get that, yes I know it’s your word number one. I'm English, "solo hablo español un poco" I was surfing KZbin to try and learn something of the Canarian Spanish dialect, and loved your video. It seems the Cuban numbers 1 - 10 are much the same, and certainly Guagua, muchacho and muchacha are. I would just love it if with your wonderful presentation you could throw a bit of light on with a KZbin video sometime. The Caribbean’s are a long way from the Canaries, but I understand their dialect is much closer to it than that of the Spanish mainland. Chao Peseao Pippa.

[@indiscriminatethoughts2162]

cuBa. cuBano. PalaBra. That’s first and foremost. Our B’s and V’s both sound like a hard B. an R at the end of the word sounds like an L. And an r in the middle of a word is softer than most other Latin American spanish. Cuban spanish is most similar to Puerto Rican spanish. Also, “La habana” is pronounced “la bana” and Asere is pronounced AcEre not AcerE ....

Do Cubans read Spanish? I only speak and understand English.

[@ecmusic9570]

Many of these things are idioms. Pre-Castro Cubans in exile (and their descendants) speak Castilian (Spanish from Spain). Spaniards understand those Cubans perfectly - which is not the case when people from *certain* other Spanish-speaking countries go to Spain. The Cuban accent comes from the Canary Islands (Spain) and Andalusia (Spain). There were only a few different words Cubans invented up until the early 1960's. Slang words like "Asere" (btw the second syllable is accentuated when spoken) were known but not used by the average Cuban (not even by the poor) as it was very much considered street talk which most Cubans avoided. Among the more common words they coined were "wawa" (bus) which was the abbreviation for the bus manufacturer Washington, Walton & Co. placed on the front of its buses and "chicle" (chewing gum) from Chiclets chewing gum. These and a few more things like that became part of the vernacular. But, it was not a long list of new words for nouns that you see, say, in Mexico. Like people of any nation, Cubans have hundreds of sayings, the *meaning* of which might elude Spaniards - but not the words. For example, "Le zumba el mango" which literally means, "It heaves the mango". Spaniards know what "It heaves the mango" means literally. But, they might not know that it is a Cuban idiom for, "That's outlandish!" or "Unbelievable!"

[@Daubentonia88]

These particular videos are designed for adults who are traveling and exploring different regional dialects of Spanish. I wasn’t aware that some of you might want to use them in the classroom setting. I may consider creating a dedicated playlist with Spanish regional content specifically for schools.
