LEARN TO SPEAK PUERTO RICAN SPANISH (2023)

35 comments

1. marcelo,

   I moved to Puerto Rico after almost 5 years in South America and all the English terms mixed with Spanish confused me at first. One day I started talking to someone about my "boarding pass" for my last flight. She had no idea what I meant. Finally, I described it as the piece of paper they tear up when boarding a plane that has their assigned seats. His answer: "Ahhh, the Bolding Pass."

2. Antoinette...this girl was born and raised in Puerto Rico...the Spanish you hear from people in New York is probably another dialect called New Yorican...she's 100% PR...born and grew up on the island

   responder

3. Thanks for the review Ashley! We can also tell that they really only speak it that way in the capital... once you get out of the capital people speak much better Spanish.

4. good post I appreciate travelers who take the time to learn languages. Equally bad is the mix of English here in Japan, where there are almost countless "loan words," none of which are pronounced anything remotely like normal English. Haha have a good trip!

6. When I was younger my family moved for 4 years. I totally identify with this article. I love the island, the culture, the simple language and everything, but when we came back to the US, my high school Spanish teacher told me that I didn't speak Spanish well. I knew PR talked a lot about "Spanglish" but apparently in NM it was like they disregarded the whole language and heritage.

   1. hahahaha… I loved it! Thanks for the comment Ny Tia.

   2. I live in NM and I am Puerto Rican. Can you give me some advice because Spanish is very diverse here and I want to learn how Puerto Ricans speak?

      responder

      1. ha ha. Coming from PR and also living in NM now. The jargon will be very different, but the basics are the same.

7. My husband grew up in public relations...we have a house there, we love it and we plan to move there. I know a bit of the language but I would like to know the language. My husband speaks both languages ​​and helps me study. I understand him and his family when they talk to themselves, but they can't talk very well. I can say/answer simple things.

10. In fact, Marcello, I live on the west coast of Puerto Rico (far from San Juan) and I can attest to the fact that that's how they speak across the island - maybe even more slang/slurred/forgotten words in here the "Boonies ." "". nice video on site. 🙂

13. I was born in Puerto Rico and grew up in Chicago since I was 6 years old. I've always spoken the broken Spanish that Puerto Ricans normally speak, but when I went to the island 10 years ago at the age of 21, I was completely taken aback by their jargon. Luckily, of course, I understood what they were saying. It's common sense to put one and one together to fully understand things, but the jargon has changed drastically over time, what I used to know as slang has become a joke when I use it now. hahaha

    responder

14. Jargon is an international thing. I am a 60 year old Puerto Rican who studied both on the island and in New York. Both educational systems promoted correct and standardized knowledge of English or Spanish. But on the street, people want to do their thing. Here in the United States, we old men have to keep learning the new language just to keep up with our own grandchildren. Then again, it's not a Puerto Rican thing, it's universal.

    1. Hello, I would like to learn to speak Spanish, I am Puerto Rican but have never taken any classes and live in the United States. So may I ask if I learn from a course or program like Rosetta Stone, will I confuse Puerto Ricans by speaking? I've heard that the Spanish taught in schools and programs is based on Mexican Spanish or something like that. Thanks in advance! 🙂

15. Hello Marcelo! Can you write an article about West African Spanish in Equatorial Guinea? I know a Spaniard and he said it was the best Spanish he had heard outside of Spain.

    responder

    1. I wouldn't rate the Spanish spoken in Spain as the best, although that's where the Spanish comes from. If I ever visit Equatorial Guinea I will definitely make a video.

       responder

16. Why wouldn't you consider Spanish Spain to be the best? That means if Spanish comes from there, it has to be the most correct. Although I know that the Spanish of Spain has a large influence on the Arabic of the African Moors and the Middle East. And so? And if so, this was before Columbus "discovered" South America and the Caribbean, meaning the Moorish influence passed to the Hispanics.

17. My family is from Utuado, I can tell that the much older generations speak Spanish differently than the younger generations, there is more colloquialism with the older ones and Spanglish/slang with the younger ones. I was raised by my grandmother in the USA in a big city, the Spanish differences are noticeable.
