This is how we speak with one another. With another Spanish speaker, who isn't Puerto Rican, we speak differently. There is a difference between using the vernacular and the proper. I have heard the Spanish spoken on Puerto Rican college campuses. OMG!! Beautiful Spanish!!!!

I used to think our Puerto Rican Spanish was not up to par however after traveling through various Spanish-speaking countries and the same goes for English each country with its different regions has within its own borders different accents and refer to things differently. Our style is uniquely ours and it is a working-class type Spanish however we all know how to speak grammatically correct Spanish when the occasion arises. The island has 93% literacy

Thanks for the translation. As for the storyline, albeit realistic, she offers to cook for him, he wisecracks, then gets picky on the ingredients, adds his menu for the following day, then wants her to pay for it, and she has to tit-for-tat him to wash the dishes. He sounds like a real "MAMAO". Other than that, "todo chevere".

Thank you for this! Half of my family lives in Puerto Rico. My dad never taught me Spanish and I only met his side of the family once in adulthood and couldn't communicate. I took Spanish class in high school and was decently fluent but it was a mix of Spain Spanish and Mexico Spanish so it was different. Trying to learn the accent and slang and all that from my roots. Thanks again for this!

Puerto Rican native speaker here. Is it OK to point out a few mistakes in the transcription? They are teeny tiny, but as someone who used to work doing transcriptions, I caught them: Tú engranas los ganduies instead of Tú has granado gandules? which makes sense because she is asking him to take the gandules out of the pod compra lo de hoy y lo que vas a cocinas mañana (without the S in both lo) Yo me *comería* una pastita instead of Yo me comeré una pastita (comería = conditional, comeré = future) There are instances of aspired S but I didn't wanted to type the whole thing. My husband is TexMex and the first time I told him "me voy a fregar los trastes" his face, LOL 😂

I was born and raised in Ponce Puerto Rico and actually how she said it was; ?Tu esgrannas los gandules? (We tend to say things technically wrong like that). Also that does not mean taking them out of the pot, it means take them out of "la vaina" (not even sure how you say it in English).

This is amazing! I've watched a handful of your videos over the last few days and I've learned more than I have in the 3 years I've been living on the island. I'd love to know a little bit more about why in Puerto Rico the diminutives are added to everything: the -ita and -ito. I'd also love more videos on pronunciation. Knowing how the sounds work is helpful because I get lost in conversations due to not recognizing what I'm hearing. Finally, if you offer any courses, tutoring or small group instruction I'm definitely interested in learning more. Thanks again for your videos. They are EXTREMELY helpful 🙏🏾
