So today we are going to take a trip and listen to Spanish in the US. We are going to listen to different American Spanish accents. First we are going to explore the Miami accent, spoken mainly by Cuban Americans, the accent is characterized by a high rate of Spanglish and lots of tumbao (AKA rhythm). Then we are going to continue our trip of Spanish United States to hear the New York Accent in Spanish. Here we will hear mostly from Nuyoricans. We will explore the eternal dilemma Nuyorican vs. Puerto Rican. We will see that there is a clear influence of English in Spanish in the US. Last but not least we are going to move to the South West to hear the Spanish accent in California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, etc. Mexican American or Chicanos also have a very particular way of speaking. Of course, I will have a special bonus where we will listen to Michigan Spanish.

Transcript
Alright everybody! a Fun fact! Which one do you think is the 2nd country with most Spanish speakers in the world?
Think about it for a second (look at phone)
Well, the correct answer is the United States…. Wait say whaaat?
Yes mind blowing isn’t it? Well today we are going to have a big challenge (laugh)
We are going to explore if you find yourself in different parts of the United States which accents would you hear? Most likely… Obviously there are many kinds of Spanish speakers in the US, but this is a general view. This is part of our series of Spanish accents broken down…
SOOOOOOOO
We are going to get started to the first place I visited in the US…. Miami. Bienvenido a Miami
Alright so the times I have been in Miami, I have gone all day without using a word of English, and I was fine. I met people from Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Spain…
But the great majority were from Cuba. Oh and I love it because their accent is cool and contagious. Even my Colombian family in Miami speak like Cubans. The Miami Cuban accent has many of the same characteristics of the Cuban accent… The tumbao (Yo tengo tumbao) , dropping a lot of the consonants (oye chico como esta), the use of weird slang (que bola asere), but Cubans in Miami have the special ability is switch back and forth between English and Spanish like 10 times on a sentence…
Oye Come here Mami. Ayudame a fill out estos taxes.
And a lot of the first generation Cuban Americans speak English perfectly but they sometimes sometimes like to say things in English the way Spanish speakers would say it… For example, instead Oye get out of the car… they would say Oye get down from the car… Because that's how we say it in Spanish… Anyways..
Now we are going north of the east coast to New York… If you can make there I’m gonna make it anywhere…
So New York is probably the most cosmopolitan place in the world. SO like in Miami you will find people from Salvador, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador…
But a lot of Spanish speaker in New York are Nuyorican.

So Before talking about Puerto Rico, I must apologize because in my most popular video posted a year ago (Spanish accents broken down by a Spanish speaker), I messed up because I am an idiot… I said the following Puelto Lico.
And I swear in the past 365 days I have had to reply to constant messages saying It is not Puelto LICO… SOOO sorry my friends :)
I have learned my lesson. Puerto Ricans and Nuyoricans sometimes make their R into L but not all the time… They would say Puelto Rico, but never Puelto Lico.
Nuyoricans also have a significant rate of Spaniglish… Notorious for their pero like...
This is my best Nuyorican accent.
Ay Nena, pero like etas hablado como una loca. Capicu
Spanish has also influenced their New York English…. Picture the mixture of people in New york who are often fighting with taxis… Hey Im walking here! And the confident and spicy accent from Puerto Rico… And what you get is people with sas who you don’t mess with? You don’t mess with Nuyoricans.
Now we are going to move to the South West of the US…. And here the biggest influence as you may expect is Mexican influence. It is important to point out that about 60% of Latinos in the US, not only in the South West, identify their origin as Mexican. So you will hear this accent all over the US….
The Mexican accent is characteristically clear, proud and with a musicality of it. It can sometimes be a little bit nasal. No mame guey.
Mexicans transform words in English to Spanish. It’s truly a master ability.
Donde esta la trucka. Vamos a chequear el Estop sign….

Last but not least, we are going to look at the accent from my state Michigan. Let’s listen to it right now……. Yeah there is nothing to listen because who besides me lives in Michigan. Nobody… Who would live in this cold place…
