      I barely know Spanish. What are some features of the various accents that make them difficult or easy?

      I’ve definitely heard Mexicans have a hard time understand Puerto Ricans sometimes. 😂

      As an example, Andalusian Spanish (that south part of spain in red) is harder to understand because plurals are not pronounced fully. The English equivalent would be “I have two bowl” instead of “I have two bowls.” Chilean (the black) is very difficult because it takes that to a whole different level. “Cansado” means tired, but in Chile, it’s pronounced “Cansao,” and theres more weird stuff too. Also, theres a lot of slang, and vocal inflictions, and yadayada…

      As a mexican I can tell this map pretty much apply to us as well. Also Dominican spanish should be black, those guys speak so fast that I can barely catch what they say.

      Dominican should be black lol those dudes are speaking a different language

      This is a strange map at least with no further context added about how determinations were made. If you asked people from Chile they would not rank it this way. So who’s perspective is this? Is it based on polling?

      Idk man it’s kinda hard to understand Catalans speaking Spanish.

      Great map! Shows in a didactic way that Brazil does not speak Spanish but Portuguese.

      Colombia has really different accents, the Costeño accent at the very least should have its own designation since it is way closer to Caribbean accents. The interior accents like Rolo and Paisa are very unique (and I believe easier).

      As a non fluent but conversational speaker, I vehemently disagree with this. The Caribbean Spanish is exponentially harder to understand than anywhere else. I can understand Chileans muc easier than any Dominican or Puerto Rican.

      Matches with my experience as a US-based English speaker having studied Spanish for 15 years. Caribbean Spanish is super fast and all the endings are dropped. Mexican Spanish is easiest for me to understand, along with Bolivian.

      Difficulty according to whom? I doubt Cubans find their own Spanish difficult. It’s just a goofy map

      I saw someone say once that if you don’t know any Spanish, you for sure won’t make it far in Chile

      At my company, I’ve had Argentinian colleagues say they can’t understand what our Chilean colleagues are saying (in Spanish) sometimes. So this seems right.

      I’m American but my dad is Argentinian so for me Argentine and Uruguayan Spanish is the easiest to understand. Venezuelan and Caribbean Spanish is the hardest but for them and Chile it’s more the unique vocabulary but if you take that out well it’s still more difficult but understandable

      The problem with this map is that there are wide regional variations in most if not all countries. It’s weird that Spain is split by region, but all other countries are assumed to have an uniform accent, which is wrong and absurd. Venezuela, for example, has 4 distinct accents: Andes, Zulia, Oriente and Centro. The Oriente and Zulia accents in particular can be difficult to understand even for Venezuelans from the other regions. Central Venezuelan accent, by comparison, is not particularly hard to understand. And let’s not even get into variations by socioeconomic status and even political affiliation.

      I find Chilean super easy to understand, by the way…

    22. kleinsumo on

      Silly map… difficult for whom? Also, people in Spain speak more languages than Castellano.

    23. GdinutPTY on

      Im from Panama and what makes it hard is the local slang. But if we know we are talking to someone from somewhere else and cut out the slang then its very easy. Also we don’t have crazy accents like other countries.

    24. SailorsGraves on

      Colombia – BULLSHIT. The Carribbean coast is some of the hardest Spanish I’ve been through 😂

    25. harribert on

      Hope all of us can unite on one thing, and one thing alone: fuck Neutral Spanish.

    27. Everard5 on

      Of course all of this being subjective, I’d argue Spain is not normal. It’s at the very least hard. So much slang, mumbling and/or lack of enunciation, and rapid speech.

    29. iNapkin66 on

      Parts of argentina should be black. Specifically, wherever the guy from the YouTube channel „pesca urbana“ is from. I cant understand a word he says.

    30. TresMegisto on

      There’s no way any non native speaker would understand Dominican Spanish better than Chilean Spanish. Dominican Spanish the hardest one to understand by a huge margin. Then comes Argentinian. Chile is on rank 3. The person who made this has absolutely no idea what they are taking about.
