Ranking the 10 MOST DIFFICULT Spanish Accents for Non-Native Speakers

[@antoniomultigames]

As a Brazilian, of all the Spanish accents, Argentina's is the most difficult, even the ones on TV, which should be the most neutral, many speak Chilean and Puerto Rican , but it depends on their level of study and Their desire to be understood by not using slang, Chilean Spanish neutral is very easy to understand, while even the most educated Argentine can be difficult to understand. The easiest to understand for me are the Peruvians and Mexicans

[@favOriTe-v6e]

I guess it all comes down to exposure. I'm also brazilian and I love the accent from Argentina, it's very easy for me to understand it but it's because I studied spanish with an argentine teacher for 2 years, and that's the accent I try to replicate as well. I haven't really listened to a lot of Chilean content so it's more difficult for me.

The problem with the Colombian in this tier list is that you put a clip of a Peruvian journalist speaking with Sofía Vergara, who is from Barranquilla. Barranquilla is on the Caribbean coast and the dialect there shares a lot of features with Cuban and other Caribbean varieties (the costeño dialect). But when people say Colombian is one of the easiest to understand, they usually refer to central Andean Colombian dialects, especially those from Bogotá, Medellín and Cali.

[@patax144]

The Paraguayan Spanish has like two levels. As long as we stick to Spanish without adding too many words in Guaraní, it can be very easy to understand-let’s just call that "Paraguayan Spanish." The problem is when people start mixing in a lot of Guaraní. This mix is called Jopara (the "J" sounds like a "Y" in Spanish, and accents work a bit differently, so it’s pronounced more like "Yopará" in Spanish). It’s actually more of a spectrum-some people mix in more Guaraní than others. If you’re not familiar with common Guaraní words, you might get a bit lost- But don’t worry if you want to visit, many Paraguayans can just switch to Spanish words if needed. We also use words that might sound unusual to other Spanish speakers or Spanish learners. For instance, we use "luego" kind of like "indeed" in English, to emphasize something. For example, "Él es paraguayo luego" would mean something like "He is indeed Paraguayan" or "He is Paraguayan for sure." Another feature is that we heavily use le instead of lo or la. For example, "Yo le vi ayer" (I saw him/her yesterday) works regardless of whether it’s a guy or a girl, and "Yo le voy a llamar" (I’m going to call him/her) replaces lo/la with le. This is called leísmo-the RAE doesn’t really like it, but that’s how we speak, haha. The accent also varies a bit outside of Asunción, the capital city. In some cities near Brazil, like Ciudad del Este, you might even hear some Portuguese mixed in.

[@nadiapitarch5870]

I'm Argentinian, I don't think Paraguayan accent is easy, he's no idea what he's saying 😂😂😂 probably most Paraguayans I've met do what you said, mixing with Guaraní. But even if they don't, I don't think is an easy accent if you aren't a native speaker.

[@rodkraft95]

@nadiapitarch5870 Yeah, it also depends on the area. There are some accents from Asunción that even I have to pay a lot of attention to understand. Sometimes, the ones that don't live close to Asuncion, we pick on "Asuncenos" for that. I think the accent from Encarnación would be much easier to understand for an Argentinian. But yeah, I might be biased since I obviously heard the accent all my life.

[@goldvideo]

Leísmo is also much a common attribute of Spain Spanish. Le vi is heard more than lo/la vi, but it depends on the part of Spain. Also, laísmo is a thing in parts of Spain, especially Madrid. When I hear "La dije que ..." while visiting Madrid, it's like fingernails on a chalkboard.

[@pablopetrasso]

[@vanesaint]

Hello paraguayan fellow, just to add a couple more things, we also do these: switching the verb 'to be' order, i.e: "Eso es así" for "Así eso es" or "Es tarde" for "Tarde es" -- and -- we use redundancies, i.e: "Ya está ya", and double negative: "Ni nunca no me voy a ir" --sighs-- 🤧

As a Dominican, I can say that sometimes it's even hard for me to understand when people speak. Cuz we speak so fast and literally cut every word (Seriously tho, every word). And the biggest problem with the Dominican accent is that we use lots of slang terms in every sentence, so much so that there are a bunch of slang terms whose meaning I don't know, but they're commonly used in daily life

The Peruvian accent is the best in Spanish speaking, it's simply beautiful! It was chosen by the University of Chile and Argentina as the best in Spanish speaking, these universities after an important investigation declared the Peruvian accent as the best, Peruvians speak Spanish very correctly, their accent is soft, they don't have the shocks when speaking like Colombians or they go overboard with idioms like Chileans, the issue is due to Lima, capital of the Spanish empire in the entire South American region for more than 200 years. If you want to learn the 'best Spanish' you should study with natives from Lima or travel to Peru.

@moonieri I disagree. for me as a native Spanish speaker most accents in Spain sound relatively similar with few exceptions (Canary Island, Andalucía). so the same applies to Spain: if you're used to the Iberian accent then most of Pain's dialects will be easy. but if you're used to a Norteño from Mexico accent then hearing someone from the south of Mexico or the center or Yucatan will sound quite different

Don't exhaust yourself, I advise you to learn a dialect of Spanish (any one!) and ALWAYS remain faithful to it. I assure you that other Hispanics will make all the necessary efforts to understand you in the dialect you have learned, since dialectal differences are minimal among Hispanics. And not only that, but also, for pure economy of communication, it will always be easier for Hispanics to make the effort to understand you in the dialect you have learned than to teach you their own. Expecting 590 million Hispanics to speak exactly the same is stupid. It is the language learner who must make the necessary efforts to understand and adapt to the circumstances of the speakers of the language he is learning... and NEVER the other way around!

The thing with this, is that it's completely dependent on what variety you learned. Since most people learn something closer to Spanish from Mexico DF or Madrid, the varieties that are further from those are seen as the most difficult. For instance, even in Spain, the Andalusian variety is probably closer to the Spanish of Chile than that of Madrid in some ways. So if one learned Andalusian instead, Chilean Spanish would probably seem a lot easier. But as a native speaker from Argentina, I also feel that Caribbean varieties in general are the hardest, lol. But that's just WRT pronunciation. I think that in regard to understanding, the vocabulary is more important that the pronunciation. One can adapt to pronunciation with some exposure, but the vocabulary requieres more work. About accents in English and Spanish, for Spanish it seems that what changes from one accent to the other is mostly consonants, while in English it's the vowels that throw you (me) off the most. Sure, some Scottish people can roll their Rs, some Brits maybe pronounce the Ts as glo'al stops, but when an o turns into an a or something like that, I don't even recognize the word.

One point is that there is no "Mexican" accent.. there's actually quite a large collection of Mexican accents. And that is mostly true of most countries. So there are many accents in Argentina, in Ecuador, and some vary wildly (Ecuador coast vs Ecuador mountains for example).. so it's a bit hard to classify this way. As an almost native speaker of Spanish, I've hear some pretty wild Mexican accents, while the "tv accent" is very understandable due to the heavy influence of Mexican tv on Latin America. It's also more familiar to Americans for obvious reasons.

As a Cuban, I can say that Cubans, in addition to speaking quickly, omit the letter s in the middle or at the end of a word, pronounce the r softly, change the r to the l and vice versa, omit the r or the l, doubling the following consonant, and frequently omit the d. The Cuban accent is a hybrid variation between the Andalusian and Canarian accents.

The use of "vos" in Argentina and Uruguay stems from Old Spanish, where "vos" was originally a second-person plural pronoun and later adopted as a singular form to address individuals with respect. Over time, its usage changed, and in the Río de la Plata region, it evolved into the informal singular pronoun. This linguistic development was entirely separate from Portuguese, which developed "você" from "vossa mercê." The presence of "vos" in these countries reflects a preservation of archaic Spanish forms rather than any external influence.
