Yo man! Shout out from Mexico. Great tips! I'm privileged to have grown up bilingual. Taught English Clases in Madrid for a few years. In doing so, I found this video that shares a very similar tip to yours but when speaking in English: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZm9e2SHaKyGq6s Cool man! Props for your vids and passion to share the Spanish language, it's rare and admirable.

[@lunaatsunset]

I'm a native speaker of Spanish and I think this video is great. When you see someone making a lot of effort in order to master your language, it's just beautiful. Also, he's speaking with a Caribbean accent,so nice! A lot of learners often try to sound like a Spanish person and they don't care much about other accents. As a person who lives on an island in the Caribbean and speaks Spanish, I must say: congrats! You've made it. You sound a lot like us. Keep moving forward!

Gracias mi pana! I really appreciate that, and I love Spanish in general no matter the accent, but I noticed the hate for Caribbean Spanish, and I never understood it so I went for it. I love it.

[@ladydontekno]

I can't speak on other Anglophone countries, but in the US Spanish teachers will teach their students in a Spanish accent or a Mexican accent. When I was in school (which granted was a long time ago lol) we would get told that Caribbean accents were "ghetto" or "incorrect Spanish".

[@Koraxus]

it depends on your priorities. I'm mexican, but you'd never guess I'm one on the phone because I speak like a british roadman (MLE). you just choose whatever dialect you want to use once you're advanced enough and adapt to it. otherwise it sounds very clunky and unnatural. I used a random mix before and things just got messy everytime I tried talking to someone, even to just order the sentences and all, let alone other inconsistent phonetics. this guy made a wise choice using dominican. this accent isn't paid much attention compared to cuban and puerto rican. they're heavily influenced by canarian spanish unlike the rest of us mainlanders. I wonder how this guy would do trying a "weirder accent" like northern mexican, chilean, argentinian/uruguayan(rioplatense) or venezuelan.

[@ladydontekno]

@@Koraxus pretty sure the guy in the video is actually Dominican lol

[@Jamykat]

As a dominican I respect your dominican accent. Some ppl can't do it. Like my husband is colombian and when he tries to do the dominican accent he sounds Cuban which is hilarious to me. You're accent does make you sound native.

[@jacksongrant2103]

This really cleared up for me why I've had so much trouble understanding native speakers. I've always thought they were speaking super quickly but now I realize they're actually blending the vowels which is why the words are so difficult to distinguish from one another. Mil gracias!

Exactly. Le llegaste! 👌🏾

[@Haghenveien]

It's both, we blend the vowels, but we also tend to speak pretty fast. Spanish is considered to be a fast language, Japanese is other example. It's a characteristic of the language. Of course, there are variations, from person to person and in certain areas people tend to talk faster than in others. But in general, Spanish is faster than English. Sorry, I can't remember the exact explanation for that because it was quite technical and I'm definitely not an expert in linguistics but as I said is a characteristic of the language.

[@inordirection_]

Semi-qualified non-expert here (college linguistics minor lol): Languages all tend to transmit about the same amount of information per minute, but they vary in how long the average morpheme is (the smallest meaningful units of sound), along with how much gets communicated by word order and "suprasegmental" features like tone, stress, vowel-length and pitch. Quickly spoken languages like Spanish tend to have more multisyllabic morphemes or fewer suprasegmental features than more slowly spoken languages like English or even moreso Chinese. It takes a lot more to generalize scientifically than this, but, for example, contrast 'they walked' vs '(ellos) caminaban': The same idea but 2 syllables vs 4-6 syllables, with past tense being communicated with a final -t sound vs the 2 syllable -aron. Spanish speakers compensate by talking faster-because they tend to use more syllables to get the same point across.

[@itsgiag]

I feel honored that you have learned Caribbean Spanish, it is one of the most difficult Spanish accents to speak. When I first heard you talk, I thought you were Dominican. We often get told that our variety of Spanish (Caribbean) is super fast (but nothing compares to Chilean Spanish), that it gets rather inteligible even for native speakers, and that we drop off a lot of letters (this is mainly for Dominican, Puerto Rican, Cuban and Panamanian Spanish).

[@Diogolindir]

I'm Puerto Rican on both sides and it's a motivator to learn Spanish but I have to be honest, I go to a lot of non Puerto Rican sources for learning just cause the Spanish is hard for me to pick up on as a learner.

[@emanueldelacruz1101]

It's not really that difficult if you take out all of the slangs (some ppl in the lower social class tend to abuse it sometimes)

[@TimMaloneyNMactor]

you are exceptionally Talented . It`s O.K. to be and sound like where you`re from . I enjoy hearing other peoples accents in English . sounding like a Native is too much pressure and they know before you speak . No shame , just be your self . you are seriously amazing .

[@Tamara-ju3lh]

Yes agreed. I have a friend from Finland and her English is so beautiful. I clicked on this video just for the comments.. I have friends that speak English with all kinds of accents (Nigerian, Honduran, Spanish, Finnish) and I don't think they should try to drop their accent. I suppose some do though. To each their own.

[@stefania_gouin]

As a French, English and Spanish speaker, I can relate with the “computer” analogy. Computadora (ES) = Computer (EN) Ordenador (ES) = Ordinateur (FR) To me it all makes sense! 😂 All 3 languages have similarities which has helped learn Spanish easily and fast!

[@mchlkpng]

Yeah, the fact that all three have Latin in them/came from Latin makes it so there will be many cognates Not to mention England was taken over by Normans at one time

[@nicolasroquefort1349]

I went through the same but in reverse! Im a native Spanish speaker and I'm conversational in English, the similarities both of those languages have with french helped me a lot to learn it pretty quickly!

Joder, este tío tiene un español perfecto, y un inglés estadounidense también!

[@beckypotato3295]

oh my god, I'm a native Spanish speaker and this video helped me realize something! One of the biggest issues I have when speaking English is that I tend to slur letters from one word to the other (for example, if I say "seals swim in the ocean", I pronounce it in a way that makes it sound like "seal swim in the ocean"), and I've known for a while that I need to fix that, but I never knew why I did that until I watched this video! I guess even native Spanish speakers can learn something from this lol

[@SarahLynn__]

Sarah L. hace 35 segundos (editado) So your issue is to use singular instead of plural? that'ss weird and grammatically incorrect because if you use "seal" you should use the verb "swims". I don't think this video made you realize that...it's just a weird mistake.

[@mikedaniel1771]

@@SarahLynn__ No I think her point was "seals swim", when blended, comes out as "sealsswim" or "seal swim". Or to put it backwards, the way Anglos say "estado unidense" instead of "estadunidense" which sounds right.

[@SarahLynn__]

@@mikedaniel1771 Es estadounidense, no "estadunidense" jeje, pero si en lo otro tienes razón.

[@ashleymay767]

As for slurring the words, I learned this in my Spanish linguistics class. If you notice that there’s two vowels in two separate words, they blend into one. And if there’s one constant and a vowel, they are connected too. This is very accurate

[@MusicBoxAlsoWater]

Dif you take this linguistics class in school or an online 1:1 course? Thanks.

[@ludovicofabris5819]

As a native spanish speaker, I can tell you the part about the vowels are some of the easiest and more practical pronunciation tips I have ever come across. Good work!

[@brunokubin]

Hermano, tu acento es en serio impresionante! Ya quisieran todos esos youtubers que según ellos hablan en 'español perfecto' tener el acento que tú tienes. Un abrazo desde México, mi estimado.

Gracias por el cumplido! Tus palabras significan mucho para mí! 😄

[@mellamofields4275]

In spanish from spain you would say "Significa mucho para mí!", you wouldn't really make reference to "tus palabras", we just would skip it, but meen, nice video!

[@felixjesussolanovergara2553]

It's true. I think that the pronunciation is a lot more difficult in English than in Spanish. But also I think that the grammar in Spanish can be a little bit difficult than in English. Because in Spanish we have many conjugations for a verb that are not so easy to infere, for example (only for the verb to be): ser, soy, eres, somos, seras, sere, fui, fuimos, etc.

[@hedleypanama]

There are three "to be" translations: Something permanent or that takes a lot of time to change: "ser" (man/woman, student, profession, etc) Something transient or that changes with little time: "estar" (places!!!) Something you own: "tener" (hair/eye color, age)

[@joules_sw]

​@@hedleypanamathere's also "tener" as a state change you recieve as for example "tengo sueño"

[@What_If_We_Tried]

Your 'trombone' analogy to describe slurring vowels is fantastic!

Thanks I used to play it so it just made sense lol

[@taffyromanesco221]

Finding music in Spanish that I really loved and actually wanted to listen to everyday was the key for me. One of my favorite songs has the line “Descubrir lo que hay en tí.” I never would have picked up the “que hay” slur if it wasn’t so engrained in me from listening to that song. I naturally say “kyay” like it’s one word which makes it easier to hear from others as well.

[@floresamor4146]

What song was that? I want to listen too

[@pablop.7635]

Wow this is actually flattering. You can tell he took the time to learn the language. I'm a native spanish speaker and I cannot even get close to immitating a dominican accent; My man's got the speed and the letter cutting of this accent.

[@ProfeKyle]

That was a great video, especially the part about slurring vowels. Few Spanish teachers (natives or Gringos) ever talk about that and it is VERY difficult to master. You might already have a video about, but I think another that you've done well to get your very neutral accent is that you also have the Dominican rhythm. For me, that is the most difficult part of getting a neutral/native-like accent is mastering the rhythm of one of the Spanish dialects.

[@Chelsea2009FC]

There's no such thing as a neutral native accent. Every region/ city has their own accent even in the same state.

[@ProfeKyle]

[@Corrne44]

I really enjoyed this, I'm from Philadelphia, Pa and naturally my vowels are slurred or run together when they are right next to each other. HOWEVER, I'm teaching myself Spanish and I was trying to force myself to pronounce and vowel all the way when they are next to each other.

Yes so since you're used to it, just do what you do. You'll be a natural! 👌🏾

[@jayweh]

interesting. I'm german, so my enunciation of words/ vowel pronunciarion is already very close to spanish. I have immense trouble understanding gringo accent. :D

[@altairlouz5925]

Same in french

[@victorbrown3570]

Ricko has probably already mentioned this at some point, but I'd like to mention it too. Using a pen to improve my French pronunciation was actually suggested to me around 1982. I still use the method from time to time. However, to my surprise I came across a KZbin video not long ago of a theater teacher who suggested the same thing for improving one's Spanish pronunciation, but in a different way than my French teacher. So now I'm using the pen from time to time in my Spanish studies. I've come to learn that this pen usage is also common among actors, public speakers, etc. The name of the video is 'PRONUNCIA MEJOR con este ejercicio de Dicción (y Vocalización y Textos originales) by Fernando Suarez Teatro. I would also add that whatever sounds I'm having problems producing in a language I try to make up some saying that includes those sounds and repeat the phrase, words, several times a day and night. Sometimes it sounds like a bunch of gibberish but it's helping to accustom my mouth, tongue, vocal muscles, etc in producing the sounds I'm trying to improve. I used to make up sentences with a bunch of Rs in them and just practice saying them over and over and over for the trilled Rs. Most of us know of little Spanish sayings that include Rs, same thing. Everybody has their thing, Keeping the mouth loose is like warming up for a soccer game or the fingers to play an instrument. We need to train the muscles necessary and that can take constant practice. Gracias. Adelante!

Great advice I learned about that from this debate class. Hadn't mentioned it on the channel yet though. 👌🏾

[@eljay4k]

@ Noooo pa nada. Creo que es porque hablo bien despacio y tengo la tendencia a estirar las palabras, pero no necesariamente de la forma en que lo hacen la mayoría de los gringos. También es la manera que hablo en inglés y supongo que juntando todo eso termina sonando a acento mexicano a muchos otros latinos Como has dicho antes, prefieres hablar rápido incluso en inglés y soy exactamente el contrario. Estas cómodo hablar con el ritmo de tra-tra-tra-tra del Caribe pero mi lengua se caería si tratara de seguir el ritmo jajaja

[@tomate3391]

En mi lista de prioridad el objeto de perfeccionar la pronunciación no está en los primeros lugares. Sí, de vez en cuando lo practico pero tengo mucho más cosas que mejorar antes de perfeccionar mi pronunciación. No te sirve mucho si hablas fonéticamente como nativo pero no puedes manejar el subjuntivo o no puedes decir lo que quieres expresar. Todavía lucho para alcanzar un nivel más avanzado. Al parecer, tu nivel de español ya está ahí, por eso es otra cosa. Cada persona es un mundo.

[@AdrianeRavon]

Thank you for talking about slurring vowels together because they don’t teach that in school but can we get a whole video on that please 😬 I understand it but I’m still struggling 🙏🏽

Great suggestion. I just might do that! thanks!

[@anthonyfletcher8215]

This was great especially blending vowel sounds in phrases. What helped me is tone. Know your tone and vocal range in English . When you start listening to Spanish speakers from an region you want to sound like start imitating them. Match your vocal range and Spanish pronunciation to the native speaker. There are all types of voices . By knowing your pitch and vocal range when finally hear a Spanish speaker that has a similar vocal range you can imitate them. This takes time and patience. Como se dicen practica hace el maestro, ya tú sabe!

that is so true. I've mentioned that in other videos, but omitted it in this one, but it is a very useful tip. Gracias por aportar!

[@sTEALtooth]

I think another big thing that gives away when someone isn't a native speaker is hard consonants and plosives. Ps, Ts, Ks...anytime you puff out air in English. In Spanish, it's smoothed out, there's no burst of air. I remember in one of my middle school classes, the teacher actually had kids hold a piece of paper in front of their mouths when they were practicing, so they could actually see when they were doing it wrong when the paper moved from their breath.

[@janr.1077]

In spanish you can't cut and splice phrases because of this, the "break" in the words is in the middle of each word, not in between were it should be LOL. The only time the "break" happens is when a sentence ends. it feels so weird once you notice it, its like saying in english: "He llowfe llowfrien dsssho wa reyoudo ing" Edit. In "Vamos a un concierto", check your audio file and you will notice even between "vamos" and "a" spanish speaker wont even release the "s". It sounds "Va mossssssaunnnnnconnnncier to"

Im not even close to dominican, but we latinos can recognize and tell apart other very different latino accents easily through nuances, that's why it's so easy to recognize even slight deviations when an accent imitation is attempted by a gringo, but you broke the detector lol thats so sick.

Muy bien hecho caballero. Además me han dado a entender que la DR es uno de los lugares más bellos del mundo así que anhelo por conocerla aunque a mi edad dudo que haga realidad.

Buen video compa, also great to hear your from Chicago too!!

I enjoyed this first video and you make it sooo much easier to comprehend, and to remember. I also speak french fluently, and in french we do, like you say "slurf" vowels and words together...in french we call it "liaison" which translates to connection and we usually drop a vowel...like in your your third sentence, "Llore el otro...lor e l otro...lorélotro...! LOL! Thank you, gracias! Merci! From a French Canadian living in Québec, Canada!

OOPs.....slurr....LOL!

una vez cuando estaba trabajando, conocí a dos hispanohablantes y empezaron a hablar español frente de mí, así que dije algo sobre la temperatura y me dijeron que mi acento les pareció muy boricua, ese momento no olvidaré nunca 😄

Esooooooo! 🙌🏾

[@jorgeloo3131]

F* man!!! It's even difficult for me as a native Spanish speaker to immitate that Caribbean Accent (which sounds like another language haha plus they speak ultra fast) and you speak as a perfect Dominican guy hahaha AMAZING!!
