Will you understand the most difficult Spanish accent? I\u2019ve heard a lot of different accents and I think this is the most difficult one. Today I bring you a game. I will play some audios at different levels of difficulty, going from easy to hard. 5 levels. Let\u2019s see how much you understand. I will translate all the sentences that we hear, so stay with me till the end for an entertaining Spanish lesson.<\/p>\n
[Audio<\/a>] Vamos a ver, que quede claro, que nosotros grabamos el v\u00eddeo un par de veces o tres a la semana. Y nuestro d\u00eda a d\u00eda: fit, sano y haciendo deporte. <\/strong>(Let\u2019s see, to make this clear, we film the video two or three times a week. And our day to day: fit, healthy and doing exercise.)<\/em><\/p>\n This is the Andalusian accent that you hear in some towns. In some parts of Andaluc\u00eda, they pronounce the S<\/strong> like the Z<\/strong>. In other parts, we pronounce the Z<\/strong> sounds as an S<\/strong>. And it is not wrong, it\u2019s just an accent. In Andaluc\u00eda we are very proud of our accent and our culture. Let\u2019s translate this sentence to English and learn new vocabulary.<\/p>\n In this level, I will play a chirigota<\/em>, a genre of satirical song from C\u00e1diz, in El Carnaval de C\u00e1diz. Let\u2019s hear it.<\/p>\n [Audio<\/a>]<\/p>\n La crisis, eh, la crisis, est\u00e1 completamente controlada. Lo que pasa es que la gente se ahoga en un papel de fumar.<\/strong>(The crisis, eh, the crisis, is completely controlled. The thing is that people choke on a cigarette paper.)<\/em><\/p>\n Did you understand? Let\u2019s translate it.<\/p>\n \u201cTo choke on a cigarette paper\u201d is referring to the fact that people exaggerate and give much more importance to things than they really have and make a lot of drama out of nothing. It is more common to hear \u201cla gente se ahoga en un vaso de agua<\/strong>,\u201d people choke on a glass of water<\/em>, meaning the same. <\/p>\n By the way~ On My Daily Spanish we have a free study guide<\/a> that offers a step-by-step process to help you learn Spanish faster. You can download it for free using the link above.<\/p>\n This is an Andalusian guy talking about the Andalusian accent.<\/p>\n [Audio<\/a>]<\/p>\n Si va uno en un ascensor con otro y le pregunta \u201c\u00bft\u00fa para d\u00f3nde vas?\u201d y si es andaluz dice \u201cpabajo\u201d. F\u00edjate t\u00fa, es verdad que nos comemos palabras, pero, \u00bfy lo bien que suena? \u201cPabajo\u201d. \u201cPabajo\u201d lo puedes dejar ah\u00ed, pero y si le pregunta \u201c\u00bfPabajo para d\u00f3nde?\u201d dice \u201cPabajo del t\u00f3\u201d. Es que m\u00e1s pabajo, m\u00e1s pabajo ya es imposible.<\/strong><\/p>\n (If one [person] is in an elevator with another person and he asks \u201cwhere are you going?\u201d and if he is Andalusian he says \u201cdown.\u201d Look, it is true that we eat words, but, oh, doesn\u2019t it sound good? \u201cDown.\u201d \u201cDown,\u201d you can leave it there, but if he asks him \u201cDown where?,\u201d he says \u201cDown all the way.\u201d More down than that is impossible.)<\/em><\/p>\n The Andalusian accent, known for its distinct pronunciation and speedy delivery, can be a real puzzle for learners. Let\u2019s translate everything to English.<\/p>\n Hey~ If you like the article, please don’t forget to share it. Wait until level 5, because if you understand, you are God \u2013 you have studied Spanish language at Harvard or something.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s go with level 4, this is El Comandante Lara, and he is a very famous comedian in Andalusia.<\/p>\n [Audio<\/a>]<\/p>\n Y vamos a dejarnos de tonter\u00edas, y todas esas tonter\u00edas no vienen al caso ahora. Este curso es bueno, bueno, bueno, bueno de verdad.<\/strong><\/p>\n (And let’s cut the nonsense, and all that nonsense is beside the point now. This course is good, good, good, really good.)<\/em><\/p>\n We can say that about our courses too! Ok, he uses more advanced vocabulary here. <\/p>\n \u201cNo venir al caso<\/strong>\u201d means that it has nothing to do with what we\u2019re talking about, that it is a different topic. Literally: \u201cnot come to the case.\u201d <\/p>\n And the last level, this is really hard to understand if you are not used to this accent. Take this as the final challenge.<\/p>\n [Audio<\/a>]<\/p>\n \n This is way more difficult also because it is a phone call and it sounds a bit distorted.<\/p>\n Now I have another challenge for you. Here <\/a>I tell silly Spanish jokes in a test to check if you are fluent in Spanish. I think you will LOVE this fun video<\/a>. If you understand those jokes, it means you have a very high level. So check it out! Hasta pronto. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction Will you understand the most difficult Spanish accent?
