How many people here are Dominican but don’t have the accent and is tired of people it believing they Dominican

😂😂😂 “your r’s and your l’s just may be kidnapped” 😂

Americans: “New York” Dominicans: “Nueva Yol”

I'm Dominican and have always been aware that my r's turn into l's, s and d are throwaway letters but I never noticed the whole ng thing on words that end with n until I started watching videos like this lmao like wow, I do do that!

Bro you have to go to DR. Respect to you for the commitment.

La manera que la gente habla en el caribe en general es tan bonita 😍🇨🇺🇩🇴🇵🇷 pero buen video! Me encanta!!

I learned Spanish in New York, then moved back west. I found your video as I was nostalgically looking for samples of the Dominican accent. It made my day.

Las tres cosas que se necesitan para poder aprender el acento dominicano: 1-Hablar Rapido 2-Cortar las palabras como por ejemplo: "estoy" nosotros decimos "toy" 3-Hablar alto Y ahí está el acento dominicano. Orgullosa de mi país!

Watching this video gave me nostalgia. I am Mexican and I lived in the Dominican for a year and a half and I came back with the Dominican accent! lol. You speak like a pure Dominican. You HAVE to visit the Dominican Republic, the best place, with the best accent.

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been learning Spanish in school for years and struggled with understanding Spanish spoken by natives because I was taught gringo Spanish lol. I always feel bad when I can’t understand the spanish word when spoken but understand it when written. This video brings clarity as to why I don’t understand sometimes. Dialect makes a difference!

Dominican Spanish sounds fast and bouncy. When I moved to Florida I was like Damm. I was that's some Fly stuff right there. They thought I was from Haiti. However, When I started talking they was like where you from? I said, I just moved from Minneapolis. They said, ohhh!!! Your accent is not like anything from here either. We started laughing. My Sister knows more Spanish than me. Because her friends was teaching her. She can almost have full conversations.

Hearing your Dominican accent makes me want to learn Spanish and talk like that even more. Mucho gente piensa que soy dominicano en mi trabajo pero soy Afro Americano.

Of all the Spanish dialects, my favorite is the Dominican dialect. They speak with a prominent rhythm, if that makes sense. I fly there at least twice a month and enjoy trying to speak with airport personnel. Most of the time I can't keep up LOL!

Man congratulations for never being in the Dominican republic you're more aware of our linguistics than many that are good job very accurate information and also your pronunciation is terrific I've also watched other video of yours in other accents and congratulate you about those ones as well keep it up

As a Chicano 🇲🇽🇺🇸 I am in love with the Dominican accent

What a great dose of linguistic geekery! You’ve clearly really listened and analyzed this stuff very well.

I am mixed. Mom is dominican, dad is white. Unfortunately I got my dad's genes. I don't have the accent, but in my opinion the dominican accent sounds pretty nice, so I want to develop one.

This was dope, made soo much sense. I’m learning now and it helps to understand Dominicans cause their slang is crazy.

I loved this information, very well broken down, I sure appreciate it. I'm going to use the Dominican accent for my audition, so thank you for your knowledge :)

Outstanding...such a sharp ear you have! Thanks for sharing the details.

Me being Half Dominican trying to learn how to speak Dominican😂🤣😂

Just found ur content and Im here for it! These are the linguistic videos I’ve been dying to see 😍

I’m half Puerto Rican and half Dominican and I don’t know any Spanish but every time I hear a Dominican talk it sounds so much cooler I guess than other ppl speaking Spanish . That’s another reason why I want to learn how to talk like a Dominican

I’m Dominican Myself Love This Tho❤️

Sick background beat

Great video brother I love much love and respect to you bro

I always knew like the accent cuz we got this neighbor and he Dominican,but it was more like a mimic.Ppl will ask "oh tu eres De Santo Domingo?!"but I'm really from Honduras but I got a Dominican accent

I spent the best vacation of my life on the eastern part of the Hispanola Island a.k.a. Dominican Republic - listening to "Los Illegales" on the beautiful beach near Boca Chica with very nice and cheerful great people of Dominicana! Lord bless you all, my dear amigos!

Lol I've heard killao many times, didn't even know the word was quillado 😂😂😂

Another one I always hear in the Dominican Republica. De Velda= De verdad

This was a great breakdown!

Esta era quando tu no había sido a la RD! Después de tres años, creo que eres lingüísto oficial. 💯

Enjoyed this video man

Fantastic video, can't believe you haven't been there, but know so much

Oye como tu ‘ta? Great channel! It’s amazing and awesome that you pick up all the subtleties of the languages even though you’ve never been out of the U.S. Especially how awesome you pick up on the regional variantes as well. You definitely have an ear for language! You actually remind me of myself when I was growing up in NY surrounded by a bunch of friends from ‘ el ‘Can’: Cuba, Puerto Rico, La República Dominicana. Pues, vives en Nueva York? De todos modos, que te opine como pronuncia la ‘ll’ y “y’ en las partes diferentes de La República Dominicana? Edit: I just watched the 1st part of your Cuban Video and found out you have been out of the country. I should of watched these videos in order lol. Anyway, you still have an amazing ear for language either way. For all I know u could be from Belize ;)

i learned alot thanks!

Can you do a video on Colombian spanish, not like Medellín, but like Cartagena and other coastal cities? Thanks. Your videos are great

I love the elongated part! 😂 yessss💃🏽 Dominican Spanish will work for me because I’m extra 😂😂

man said there is a linguistic war... LMFO 🤣😭😭😭 long live the “Ls” and “Rs”

yo you look more Dominican then me

Este vídeo estaba muy útil para mi. Understanding the Dominican and Puerto Rican accent is currently the most difficult thing in my journey of learning Spanish. Good video, keep up the good work 👍🏽

Holy crap I would have thought that you been traveling abroad for years! I just return from the Dominican Republic, amazing country!

I loved this video! I am not as fluent anymore in Spanish but dad from Santo Domingo definitely does these pronunciations

Awesome video. I’m a Garifuna American with roots in Honduras and Belize, and am a Spanish speaker when I need to be. When I first went to the DR, I noticed the linguistic differences between Central American Spanish, Cuban Spanish (many of my friends are Cuban), and Puerto Rican Spanish. This video really helped me sort out some of the differences i noticed. Thanks, I appreciate what you’ve done.

I say “venga” all the time just because I’m like that🤣

Boss this was a great Video. I just moved to the DR and The Slang is hard to catch . I just posted a Vid talking about it .. Thanks for teaching Boss

Watching this again now I was able to see you talking about the R's or L's taking them out is part of the slang as well. In the Cibao yes they put the I's in mostly words. Capitaleños mostly uses the L's. Just putting that out there !

Damn dude. Acabas de hacer el mejor video de como se habla español en República Dominicana que cualquier domicnicano! Diablo loco, felicidades!!! Quería señalar las localidades que no conocías bien... los que dicen “acelte” son los del cibao (campos y zonas mas rurales de allá). Los que hablarían como en rl ejemplo que pusiste de “Reynaldu” son los del suroeste (o sureños como aqui le decimos) de la isla, dígase: Azua, San Juan, etc. Que de hecho son los que pronuncian las erres R con mas fuerza en RD.

I need to finally learn Spanish !! Teach me your ways

Great vid man✊✊

you should really go visit the D.R!

Hey Klk I am Dominican and you speak our Spanish very well, Tiguere you are a Bacana pod, for a Chin I thought you were a Dominican, Greetings from Sto.Dgo. Dominican Rep. Quisqueya La Bella

Watching this after your vlog in Santiago, DR 🇩🇴 is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂 0:20 blessings bro!!

waiting for your video on Cuban Spanish so i can Understand Celia Cruz a lil better

I love Dominican Spanish. I want to preface this next comment with this: I think Dominican Spanish is the best and I also love that is evolving. I think the last thing about “i” becoming “r” or “l” is like a compensation for El Cibao shift. People being unsure what is a “true r” and a “true i” in speech, so they, for lack of a better word, “guess” on whether to use “r/l” or “i”.

Que lo que! I thought you were a Dominican when I saw you yesterday, Dios te bendiga hermano!!!

It's cool how we do the same thing in english

You cracked me up the entire video. Can I adopt you as my lil'brother?!?! ... I promise I would learn Spanish faster and we can crack the heck up. Question. I plan on retiring in Belize. What type of Spanish do they speak there?

I'm from Argentina and this shit is very enlightening ! Gracias hermano!

Omg I didn't even realize the ng thing you are right on. I was born in the states and the ng thing was still passed to me. I didn't even realize other hispanics don't do the ng thing.

Hahaha nice video man

I really thought he was dominican until he said he wasn’t 😂

Spot on!

I've understood the Dominican guapo as a difference between ser and estar guapo, it was tough learning Spanish there as a native English speaker lol.

Enojao is a normal slang version in Spain. The d disappears in multiple similar words as comio (comido), hablao (hablado) etc. But only d that appears in that position of a word

Hi Rickie. You mentioned accents and some people think they're better than others (linguistically) because of their accent. I live in Birmingham, England. Many people here and abroad think they know what a Birmingham accent is but they're actually listening to a "black country" (west of Birmingham) accent. Thankfully I don't have much of any accent. Those from the south of England consistently make fun of anyone and how they speak if they're from the wider Midlands area or further north. So it would seem it happens everywhere!

Man I love this guy! You are freaking awesome, I'm American and my boyfriend is Dominican he loves this video and said you did an awesome job. Tambien yo voy a grabar unos videos hablando sobre la manera que yo enseñé a mi misma el idioma de Español! Yo te apoyo al cien percento 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾❤❤❤

Muy bien hecho mi helmano 😂

In cibao the "r" at the end of the words can do the same thing as in the east where you kinda drop it

What are some Dominican "resources" to help grasp the accent if you're not actually able to speak with dominicans all the time? What did you use?

Yo aprendiendo el espanol y vivo alrededor de muchos Dominicanos. Yo habia intendido a hablar con ellos, pero cuando les hablo, ellos me miran extrano. A veces, ningunas quieren hablar conmigo. S'i yo viva alrededor los espanoles o los columbiano, creo que no yo haya tenido esta problema. Esto video fue bueno. Yo necesito saber esto.

How did you learn to speak spanish? And how long did it take ?

Hahhaahaha Ta jevi!😂 nice video!

Bro if you ever get that passport hit me up. I’ve got family all over & can show you around. Although I’m American born I’m fluent & go from time to time. I also visit other countries is Latin America & I think you are def ready to take on a conversation with locals anywhere.

i love it

I love the Dominican accent thank you for clarifying,the only thing i find a bit silly is the "L" instead of the R sound 🤭

what resources did you use to learn the Dominican accent/dialect

Jeremy from jersey just subscribed

Baaacano! Tu eres bueno maestro

What book or app can i use to study Dominican Spanish I can speak Mexican Spanish but I would like to learn Dominican spanish

So interesting love the way they speak..the only famous Dominicans that I'm aware of are Romeo Santos and Prince Royce lol and I was listening to a song the other day by La Insuperable and instead of saying "Me haces feliz" she said in one of her songs "Me hace feli" maybe she's from Puerto Rico idk but really Dominican and Puerto Rican accent is really beautiful but I'm more so used to Mexican way of talking lol anyways buen trabajo! Bendiciones y Dios te bendiga!

Espero que puedas ir pa lla pronto

thats so cool

YAAAAA TU SABE amigo yo soy dominicano #platano#power you right bout erthang

I’m Mexican American but this is dope. I love seeing diversity and other ethnic customs. There’s a lot of Puerto Rican’s and Mexicans (probably Dominicans too) where I’m from but I never really knew the type of accent that Dominican’s have. I know a couple Puerto Rican’s who don’t have the really fast speaking Spanish. One of my friends sounds like how we Mexicans speak Spanish, haha. Anyways, not to be rude or anything, I was just never really exposed to seeing both together, but I never really knew the difference between Puerto Rican and Dominican Spanish. That’s why I said “(probably Dominican’s too)” up there. I just watched a commercial with Al Horford and he spoke really slow and really clear Spanish. Then I thought about how Romeo Santos and Prince Royce also have a really slow and really clear Spanish when they sing. I wanna get to know more about the language

Lmao mi novio habla asi. He is born and raised from Moca, DR. (North from what he told me) #SoydeGuatemala he still pronounces the "L" The only time I heard him Not say it is when he says "Nueva Yol" Jaja 😅 I Love it! 😘

I approve this message, I'm 100% domi

Se tiene que vivir en La República Dominicana por un tiempo para realmente dominar el dialecto. O se tiene que ser una habladora nativa.

1:28 doesnt buscando mean search can sum1 please explain? or is the word buscando dominican for the word money maybe?

Thanks for saying that you are an official linguistic. The Dominican speaking depends on the person background. ....n education. When my daughter talk about quillao I stop her, hablando bien....

do you have video about how to say r's in spanish

do they change the Rs to Ls in text too? do they spell is like that?

The R and changing the O for an U is at the South of Island they speak like that.

Greetings from the south of dominican republic Barahona la perla del sur

Para que sepa los lingüistas dicen que la l y r se suelen cambiar su sonido solo cuando se encuentran al final de una sílaba.

Love & Respect to 🇩🇴 👊🏾🙌🏾👊🏾 I never have 🇩🇴 nor went to school with 🇩🇴 neither have their food before . To be honest my goal learn spanish / 🇩🇴 slang please teach me por favor

Ima be fighting with my boyfriend tryna speak and understand the way he speaks Spanish😭💀 the way Dominicans speak Spanish is sooo unique, and jus moves me the right way. But with this whole thing about the Dominican accents and words being kidnapped... biiiiitch ima be having trouble for awhile🤣 visting DR is just something I might have to do. But I always felt like Spanish speakers in general never finished off their words "correctly"🤣🤣 I just never wanted to say anything yet💀

Well, it isn't too bad if you're ok with neutral Spanish. It's like being an American speaking English, when an Aussie pronounces something like Mate (mäyt) you know what it is. Well, at least if you know what the differences are.

Bro, I just used this video for my Social Studies and Basic English classes. History Hint: Most of our, vowel drops, and consonant drops are as early as the very dawn of slavery here in the D.R. (the whole hemisphere actually since this was the land Spaniards arrived in first) enslaves were bereft of their African culture by being obligated to assume Spanish culture, religion, and most importantly learn the language. No immigrant will ever speak any language as a native speaker. So essentially, our way to speak Spanish was the first-ever AAVL (African-American Vernacular Language) since it came from Spanish, yet a Spaniard would not understand when we speak the way we do.

Muy duro ! 👌🏽
