Chileans are like Scottish people for english speakers

as a german, who's learnin spanish, i find the mexican accent by far the easiest one to understand

[halfrightface]

I'm not fluent in Spanish, but I grew up around New York City, so the Spanish I hear the most is either Puerto Rican, Dominican, or Mexican. By far the Mexican accent is the easiest for me to understand.

The "lisp" from Spain is actually because the -ci, -ce and z used to sound like "dz" and "tz" in medieval Spain. In the south, wich had a more Arabic influence for the longer reconquista times the sound converged into a soft "s" while in the north and middle (wich hadn't been that much heavily influenced by Arabic since it was more time under Christian rule, wich has its origins on the Asturias kingdom, successor of the Visgothic kingdom after the reconquista began) it evolved from dz to th. When all the America discovery and colonization happened all the colonists and people who navigated to the new world were from Southern Spain or had to stay a long time there.
At the early times of the conquest of the Americas the phonological changes were also starting and so, all the people who went there and converted the natives and teached them the Spanish language used the southern dialect. Centuries later this was more noticeable also in the pronounce of the "s" sound compared to northern Spain, on where nowadays it is pronounced sharper than the southern and American dialects

This is probably just because Mexican Spanish is what I grew up with, but I think Mexican Spanish is the most clear and understandable

As Chilean once I was sitting behind two Colombians in the stadium, they were talking about something that reminds unknown to me because I couldn’t pick a single word. And I could hear perfect everything they say... so your point of view about Chilean and Colombian accent always depends on who’s and where is speaking. Y no se porque escribo en inglés si todos los que leen son latinos... cuándo tendremos traductor en línea para los comentarios en YouTube ..?

[olajong]

I don't speak or understand Spanish but I swear the Spanish Spanish was literally seducing me lol

[RicoLamar]

Columbian and Mexican Spanish is easier to understand but Spain Spanish is the sexiest to hear & listen too 😭😭

[alisonsarchives]

Him: to represent puerto rico, i chose bad bunny
Me, Puerto Rican: aw come on not him

[mjeffbr]

I always felt the spaniards sound like they are giving angry orders, in that way they remind of the japanese, who also speak like angry bosses lol

[teawithalumllelee]

Colombian Spanish is the equivalent to Midwestern English. Easiest to understand and a lot to appreciate about it. My Latin friends always tell me I’m their favorite, clearest speaking friend. But when I hear many different southern dialects my heart melts. It’s about understanding first and then finding your vibe later.

My husband is Chilean and I lived there for about 2 years. I LOVED it there and miss it very much! His family lives there but we haven't been able to visit them yet. I learned some decent Spanish while there but I feel like everyone there spoke like they were a radio/tv announcer. Like the tone of their voice was like everything they were saying was BREAKING NEWS! It was a little difficult to understand other Spanish dialects aside from Mexican (living in TX and having many Mexican friends). I can't wait to go back to Chile, it's my second home:)

[ClementePR]

Por el amor a Dios nosotros nunca NUNCA! decimos "Puelto Lico", de donde sacan eso??.

[mistymrning]

I find Mexican Spanish much more easy to understand, clear, pretty 'neutral' actually... compared to Colombian Spanish. But, Colombian accents are definitely easier to understand than a lot of others such as Chilean.

[bestlaidplans]

I'm at the beginner level. Mexican and Colombian Spanish is beautiful. Very clear, and certain words are said slow and drawn out. Makes it easier to understand.

[hudsonbakke]

As a non-native Spanish speaker, Mexican is far and wide the clearest Spanish accent. They talk nice and slowly and pronounce every word carefully. The only tricky part about Mexican Spanish is that depending on where in Mexico you are, there is an astronomical amount of slang and regional expressions that are bound to confuse you.

[maromorostar]

Im moroccan not spanish, the language i enjoy most, by far is mexican spanish, love how they speak. And I love their food aswell.

A lot people think Puerto Rican Spanish is heavily influenced by English. We have a a lot of slangs words that mimic English words. Our accent come from the Canary Islands and the habit for dropping letter d and replacing the r with an l is a andaluz vocab
