Non-native Spanish-speakers: do you generally find Spaniards or Latin Americans easier to understand

[Alexandro]

What sort of accent in Spanish did you have when growing up in Miami? After all, while your parents are Spaniards, would you not have also been influenced by all the Cubans and South Americans around you?

The accent I speak with is like....a mix of Castilian and Canarian. My father was from Castilla La Mancha and my mom is Canarian so, yes.

Honestly, man. I love Cubans, they are probably my favorite Latino group, but their accent is like nails on a chalkboard for me so I tried my best to not sound like them when I was growing up actually, hahahaha. I use a lot of their slang when I talk though, like my favorite is "vete pal carajo", really good way of telling someone to go to hell.

As Ismael Cala would say, they speak as if they had a hot potato in their mouth/throat.

Relax dude. He's just making a joke.

Caribbean accents from the lower class all sound mad terrible to me. I dislike all of them in reality.

Don't need to be so passive-aggressive about it, I know we aren't among the best, but I would argue we aren't among the worse either. As for my preference, for me the best is the neutral one Mexicans use for the news and media.

Los dominicanos no metemos la J aspirada asi como lo estas imitando. Eso lo hacen los cubanos y los boris. Pues no creo que reconozcas el acento dominicano tanto. Aunque es cierto que son parecidos todos.

Tampoco sustituimos la R por la L asi. Eso lo hacen los inmigrantes chinos bwahaha

En la capital y en el Este meten mucho la L parecido a los boricuas. Sin embargo no es para tanto.

En mi infancia nosotros hablabamos asi. Deciamos alagaito y todo. Creo que mi mama tenia un complejo de inferioridad porque trataba de esconder su acento cibaeno.
