its not different nor unique, their accent is similar to that of canary Islands spain LOL

@@DanteVelasquez gracias por el comentario, lo aprecio mucho

[@anad.19]

It's funny to me as a Boricua that people tell me I have an accent. I used to think not but now know better. Claro que si!!😂 I don't care if you speak perfectly or not but that you have the interest of learning new languages or even new things. Knowledge is definitely power!!

[@AngelinaLopezz03]

Y'all speak the ebonics of Spanish 🤣 en veldad lol

[@Dej_Spanish]

If at this point he hasn’t found a Puerto Rican girlfriend I would be surprised. Puerto Rican woman appreciate that effort. Happy new year.

Lo importante es PRACTICAR y tener contacto con personas de Puerto Rico.

[@Dej_Spanish]

@@user-of5wh8xf9k estoy 100% de acuerdo. Es un acento rápido, pero suave. Suena como si uno estuviera cantando! Bendiciones

[@mikeq.4020]

Love seeing other people learn with dedication too. I grew up with my family speaking Spanish but they never spoke to me in Spanish. I finally made a goal of mine to study hard and get to C1 level in 5 years. Now I'm 5 years in, and have had some teachers on Lingoda believe that I grew up speaking Spanish because I have an accent. Some almost immediately will say "Are you from PR or Cuba?" That makes me proud going from nothing to making natives think I come from a Spanish speaking country. I still have ALOT of work to do though!

[@sbsTnHC]

Suena Bori si o si! Y te lo dice un puertorriqueño 💯 born & raised.

[@Dej_Spanish]

@@sbsTnHC eso lo va a apreciar! Appreciate your comment 💪🏾

[@joelgarcia8923]

Props to both of you

[@ItsCrap97]

I live in PR born and raised and his accent is pretty good. But i can tell hes had influence from other people who speak spanish. He sort of sounds Mexican.

[@Dej_Spanish]

@@ItsCrap97 yea it’s tough at times learning Spanish here in the USA because on a daily basis when out and about, we hear so many different accents, so it can be tough to stick to just 1 haha

[@User68927zf]

He has a very nice accent, I subscribe🥰saludas de La Perla

[@Swizzy19891]

great video. currently learning colombian spanish but will move to PR in two years so this gives me confidence i can adapt the accent eventually.

[@Dej_Spanish]

You definitely can. It's all about framing. Like people can find a million reasons to either judge you or love you for your efforts. Just keep going!

[@OG-B3TR]

Y'all bout to flip out, but I'm puertorican. I learned english by myself and most people think I was raised in the main land. 😂

[@beachlifestyle]

That's funny, I was born in Puerto Rico both my parents are Puerto Rican but we left the island when I was a baby so my first language is English and when I go to the island and speak Spanish everyone tells me that I have an American accent. Lol 😆

[@EMMA9801]

Soy Puertorriqueña y me junto mucho con Mexicanos la mayoría del tiempo pero nunca se me cambia mi acento Caribeño. I speak English without a Spanish accent. I also am fluent in Spanish. How?? Practice

[@Dej_Spanish]

@@EMMA9801 que inspiración. Si…es la práctica…abrazando la repetición y lo aburrido del proceso. Like whether talking to oneself or with others…speaking! Very powerful

[@alc617]

La familia mia es de PR pero yo nací aquí en los Estados. Me crié con una familia que hablan ambos inglés y español. Yo aprendí hablar español escuchando salsa y reggaeton y también he trabajado en lugares donde se requiere hispanohablantes. Había un tiempo cuando yo hablaba con acento Dominicano porque estuve viviendo con mucho Domi. Pero ahora me ha pegado el acento Boricua.

[@Monolo-wc5jo]

I believe it was easier for him to switch over to the Puerto Rican accent after already learning spanish.

[@Dej_Spanish]

@@Monolo-wc5jo yea…it has a cool flow to it…people say the PR accent sounds like un cantante…super smooth. He’s got it on point

[@radioactive8245]

There is not such a thing as puertorrican Spanish, they are regionalisms and they happen in any language. Saying puertorrican Spanish give the impression that spanish is very fragmented and that the Spanish culture is weak.
