The best way to better understand Spanish speakers, is to listen to one. Listen to this video and see if you can understand what is being said. If it is too difficult for you, English captions are available!
At Bilingüe Blogs, we pride ourselves on teaching authentic Spanish, so that students can understand and communicate with natives in a natural way. Many slang words, and colloquial phrases are not taught in schools or other courses. Many dictionaries do not seem to contain them either. Typically, in order to learn these things, you have to befriend someone from the country that uses the dialect that you want to learn. Another option could be to travel or move to that country.

ReplyDeleteQuick question: at the 6 min mark you say something that sounds like "heavy" "...haciendo el Trap. Que con la (union)? de P.R and D.R porque es (jevy)?" Or something of the sort. I hear that a lot in the other things i listen to. what does it mean?
Yes Jevy in the caribbean is actually a word that is stolen from English, but spelled with Spanish phonetics. It just means really cool, or awesome. In Spain they say fuerte, but in the caribbeean they say jevy. If you want to use it to talk about a person you would change it up a bit.
