  • @ImpulsiveBlow Thank you! I was using my DR "missing you voice" lol. You can't please anyone though, because as much as I hear things about DR or Chilean accents, when you are in NYC, the spaniards are the pnes picked on. Esp for the C/Z sounds, they call them soft or maricas... or they say they talk like ther is a stick up the azz. Not saying I agree, but i hear these things. To me i like Spain's accent but only for clarity. I I feel the words are stuck inside the mouth. :)

  • @ImpulsiveBlow he changed it? that is mutilating, when you put letters inwords that dont belong, it no longer is spanish. it's like the jamaicans mutilating english no difference.

  • @Enemyatthegates1 Please tell me where i added letters! remember i learned this language. I know i dropped some S but that is my street accent. I taught ESL to professionals in the DR who laughed when i used Habla'o en vez de Hablado... but sadly they aren't what the world knows when they think DR. I would love to know ho i sound to your ears. Did you see my concourse video yet. This here is a bad sample of me and just a test.

  • @tanheavy thats what i meant about changing it, dropping the s and r in some words, you do well for it not being your first language man... more power to you. Ive been to the dr a few times, i know the accent quite well.

  • why does the title need "black man" speaking spanish? Like the Jamaican bobsleigh team.?

  • @sferemonk Easily. I learned to speak spanish at 25+ . Whether they say it in spanish to me, or in english, lot's of people have told me "I can't believe I see a Black Man speaking spanish like a Dominican" so the title came from out of that. If I was born in a spanish speaking country I would just put "Man', but growing up in the USA, I definitely AM proud to be a BLACK MAN... and btw ... I'm Speaking Spanish.

  • @tanheavy well yeah, maybe "black man speaking spanish like a native Dominican"

    but it smacks of the idea that black people are somehow not genetically disposed to speak anything but street english or west indian or african.

    A white person speaking Japanese would just say new yorker or American or french person speaking Japanese.

    Like the Jamaican bobsleigh team, Hawaiian bobsleigh team wouldn't have been such a pull. It's '"Blacks!? in the snow!?" "Isn't that against nature or something!?".

  • @sferemonk I agree, it does carry some of that - but that is my point. I meet people literally EVERYday that look at me like "you speak", heck they are my complexion at times. I want to spread knowledge that anyone can speak, including this Black Man. But... this is a fight that won't die. I am an Emcee as well, but any lady that raps is not called that, she is a "female emcee, or femcee" if you will. Eminem is a White Rapper. Sure we could call him a Detroit rapper...

  • @sferemonk but that would be specifying the fact he was breaking down barriers. My question is what esle could the Jamaican Bobsleigh team call themselves? I watch the games! When Switzerland comes out they don't say "the European bobsleigh team is here"... people would be like "which country/nation???" so they say the Swiss Bobsleigh team... and so if you are from Jamaica what should they call your team?

  • @tanheavy the Jamaican bobsleigh team is the Jamaican boblseigh team, Comedy factor doesn't come with Swiss Bobsleigh team (maybe obvioulsy). But jamaican Bobsleigh team becomes a comedy film. With icicle dreadlocks.

  • @sferemonk True, but I can remember being young and finding the the concept funny as well, not because of Jamaica, but the knowledge that bobsledding was a cold weather sport. I would have felt this way about a Hawaiian team as well, or even Morrocan. Same way most people look twice at a Hollander with dreadlocks. Or a chinese man from my country (Trinidad) speaking just like we Trini. It's just about what you are naive too and how that strikes you as funny or new, odd or strange.

  • @tanheavy did you spend an extended amount of time in a spanish speaking country?

  • @SwirlieCurlies Yes, after a year of self study I felt I could hold my own in a conversation, so then I left to live in the DR where teaching ESL and eventually spanish became my fultime own business. Stayed 23 months btwn 2005-2008, 11 months in a row being the longest stretch, 60 days the shortest

  • @SwirlieCurlies yes but that is not why i got good. I spent a yr volunterring while in NYC, teaching ESL with no traiing at all, to Mexicans and Central Americans for free. I asked for a class that could speak nothing and i would use my basic materials to teach, all the while having to repeat the basic spanish i knew... and it grew. But the time in the DR got me understanding FAST spoken spanish

  • @tanheavy thats awesome! I'm 20 and learned a tremendous amount of French in the classroom in the pass 3 years and I'm anxious for my brain to just click one day and be fluent lol But you're an inspiration...

  • @jcrump6 yup, english too..

  • damn shame, how he can turn such a beautiful language like spanish into something so mutilated...

  • @Enemyatthegates1 it's called flavour, but it's beyond the appreciation of bigots.

  • @sferemonk sabor huh? ese idioma solamente les suena bien a ustedes, pero para el resto del mundo de habla hispana, se oye muy maleducado...bigot huh? thats a very interesting analogy, why do blacks always turn things into racial discrimination when someone who is not black disagrees with you???

  • @Enemyatthegates1 I know your posts. you remain an idiot in any language: you speak for the whole spanish speaking world do you?? and think they are all snobbish bigots like you??

    Look at the other posts, how does it only sound good to me?

    Is saying you are a bigot, an analogy? No, it's a direct and true statement. You ignorant donkey.

  • @sferemonk go into any classy area an any part of a civilized spanish speaking country speaking like that and see where it gets you. what is so right about mutilating a language and what's so wrong about speaking it correctly? i doubt you even have the education to decipher between the two. being a bigot and wanting your native language to be viewed by other nations as beautiful and not ghetto is not too much to ask. i just thank god we have borders and nationalities.... ignorant bitch!

  • @Enemyatthegates1 Actually unlike most latinos I know, i have 3 accents. Uno de la calle dominicano/NYC, uno de los educados (como habla el presidente de la RD, quien es lejos de maleducado, ya sabe) y my acento colombiano/mexicano. Mi primer año estudiando utilizaba cursos que me dieron un acento más mexicano (pero no cantado! como CNN). Pero hablar neutro no me suena vivo! Me interesa saber de donde es usted.

  • con'td - Creo que se ha tropezado con los de esa isla que le gusta hablar con su "acento típico" y "estereotípico" He conocido a unos que hablan bien claro en privado y con sus amigos osea en la calle hablan malísimo. Cada país tiene pueblos donde se habla una mierda, y una cosa linda! Hasta España

  • @tanheavy yo vivo en eeuu pero soy nacido malagueño. Entiendo tu respuesta de no sentirte vivo, tu puedes hablar como te guste amigo. Yo he visto mucha descriminacion contra gente que habla asi en muchas partes de hispanoamercia, por eso opino, que hay que saber hablar bien cuando sea necesario... saludos, y espero que te encuentres bien...

  • @Enemyatthegates1 You argue so vehemently for shallow brained prejudice masquerading as cultured discrimation. You should study some modern socio-linguistics, you foolish dog licking his own behind.

    "We are sooo! beautiful and cultured and perfect with bottoms smelling of roses. Those others are so ugly and uncouth and rude and dark!"

  • @sferemonk so it's racial again i see? dark as in skin or as in conscience? study socio linguistics huh? i will school you in any romantic language, in English as well boy...

  • @Enemyatthegates1 thought so. look up what sociolinguistics means. and it's the Romance Languages, chicita.

  • Comment removed

  • @Enemyatthegates1 the insecure comfort themselves by looking down on others. the blind insist they are the only ones that see, the empty think that by scuttling to another language they might seem impressive even though they have nothing to say.

  • @sferemonk you write a whole lot, but it's utter rubbish. you should run for office!

  • @Enemyatthegates1 that line is so you! you're left to whiney empty irrelevant mumbling. punch drunk. i feel your pain. chicita.

  • @sferemonk I PITY YOU SANKY PANKY!

  • Comment removed

  • @sferemonk oh yeah, i feel so defeated sanky panky!!!

  • @Enemyatthegates1 your honesty is touching. your used up flapping so feeble.

  • @sferemonk zzzzzzz

  • @Enemyatthegates1 from 'so much flapping' to 'dozy doe zero'. Glad to have schooled you, mona chicita. Adios.

  • @Enemyatthegates1 - enemybeenthruyourgateandhadyou­.now you looking in the mirror, dress torn, lipstick ruined, mascara running, talkimg to yourself. oh sad flappy chicita.

  • @Enemyatthegates1 you must be the shame of Malaga.

  • @sferemonk actualmente, soy el orgullo, pobre inicuo!

  • @Enemyatthegates1 Besides, for learning it in less than 1.5 yrs and not having a strong American accent - i should get props lol.

  • @Enemyatthegates1 go see my video with the same title but on "Grand Concourse" and tell me what you think

  • acento dominicano sin duda

  • Sounds good - I thought by now you'de be hooking up with PJ out in Medellin turning the town upside down:)

  • @rjhome1 Well i might have but at the time when i could the DR was mi lugar of choice - but i will def visit him if time permits

  • @ELtigrevacanoNY Its def posible pana! I have had that happen a few times now and BK is my other home outside Queens and Bx. Its funny becuase in 07 to 08 were the last 11 months that i lived out in Sosua. I taught out there and Im re arranging things to get back out there. I have been learning/speaking since 2005

  • @ELtigrevacanoNY Are you the "other" loc brethren from out there or what? It probably was me because there ain't too many of us around that are good at the speaking.

  • Jjajaja sii!! porke dices eso!!??

  • @Liveriangurl Con referencia a lo que pusiste debajo de esto: "oye esa mierda!"

  • @ELtigrevacanoNY email me here and give me a few weeks to respond, since i dont check it as often but once i respond i will be in constant contact since i know to expect your msg. What's your "level" of speaking?

  • There are black latino people that speak spanish and that are from latin countries

    Yes it might be rare for people to see it but its there

    And just because you see a black person speak spanish DOES NOT automatically mean they are Dominican!!

  • @mrseazye very true - i think I surprise people because I'm not latino at all and I just started in 2005 learning. this vid was done in 2009 after being back in america for a year

  • oye esa mierda!..

  • @Liveriangurl Que pasa, no te gusta como habla este americano?

  • Lol!!! Tu eres dominicano no verda?..

  • @Liveriangurl Americano pero mi español nacio dominicano jajaja

  • BLACK MAN SPEAKING SPANISH ??? WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?? IT'S NOT A MYTH :/

  • @afrolatinadamien No the big deal was the level of spanish. The real title should be "American who didn't begin to learn until 25 yrd old and learned in less than a year, and began to teach spanish soon after to other adults who were told that it's impossible to learn when you are not a child. LOL - Thanks!

  • @tanheavy Ohhh i see wow that's pretty impressive considering he wasn't born in a spanish speaking country :) my bad

  • you sound Dominican :D

  • Comment removed

  • Dominican!

  • lol you sound dominican to me hahaha! you have the L and R thing going and not everybody shortens the para ya sabe

    p.s. im black and i speak spanish too lol

  • @Spagoda1123 Not many of us in this world, in terms of not being spanish or latino and learning as an adult from scratch! Mucho gusto pana

  • this is soooooooo Dominican

  • omg this made me smilee nice accent

  • Mr Tanheavy... you sound like a Dominican, or maybe venezuelan from the coast. Congrats men¡¡¡ you dont have the annoying accent that english speakers usually have. From London.... trying to learn some english.... LC

  • Thanks! Accent was as important to me as the words itself so i never skipped any words i couldnt say right, i would say it over and over again. Im hard on myself that way

  • Great spanish accent 'mano!

  • Bueno el español es el idioma más difícil de aprender :P

    Well Spanish is the most difficult language to learn.

    I'm saying it cuz I study 4 languages

    (English,German,Chinese and French)

  • Wow... You study Chinese and you think Spanish out of all of them is the most hard? ... LoL Chinese for me is so difficult. I can only remember bad words and food items. lol

  • wow sounds really good. Keep using it while you are here in the U.S. otherwise you will find yourself losing the language and having a harder time fully expressing yourself. ...

  • Already happening as a lot of spanish folks where i'm at arent into long drawn out conversations like they were in the DR island. I find myslef mastering the everyday "How are you", "How are the kids", and not the deep stuff that i could before. I can, but it takes more concentration than before, or i must warm up, speaking like a 1/2 straight or mor and then i seem back on track

  • @Ifoxye This has been happening - did it happen with you also??

  • fuck spanish ..ahhhh the slave masters language....the good old transatlantic slave trade left its mark!!!!

  • Hey, i feel you but even english is tied into that, since English and Latin share up to 60% or more words or root words. Until we all go back to some other language or form of communication, I'm gonna master everything, so i can understand those that would conceal truths.

  • Excellent retort if I do say so myself!!!!

  • HAHAHAHA, I would like to second that...

  • I have an African friend from Angola and all he does is speak Spanish.

  • u mean portuguese.

  • seriously sounds dominican :D

  • Many black people i know that are fluent really speak like a native speaker

  • Thanks for the compliment. I think accent is one of the most important things to practice, just have to choose one

  • haha!! i still love this lil clip.. sounds good. : D

  • Gracias!

  • LOL!!! Dude your spanish is off the chain.....You really sound like a native! From Panama or DR.

  • LOL what is lawyer spanish?!

  • lawyer is abogado!

  • I know THAT, i meant, is their an expression "laywer spanish" digo, si hay un tipo de espanol que solo hablan los abogados, un espanol lleno de mentiras y secretos

  • ja! "lawyer spanish" lol you sound like a cousin of mine.

  • @francastillo86 WHAT DOES THE DICHO "LAWYER SPANISH " MEAN LOL

  • @tanheavy from London. i bet this means 'love your spanish' in 'miami' hispanic spanish.

  • @sferemonk lol

    

  • LOL that was really good. I attend college in NYC and in my area there are alot of Dominicans. You sounded really good.

  • Thanks I appreciate that!
