4. Caribbean Spanish
Caribbean Spanish includes the countries of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. And while they each have their own dialect, other Spanish speakers all lump these countries together as Caribbean Spanish.
You don’t hear about many Spanish language learners going to these countries to learn Spanish, and that’s perhaps in part because of the rapid pace at which they speak the language.
For example, Caribbean Spanish speakers will completely drop the “d” at the end of words. Instead of saying mitad, for example, they will say mita. Para, another very commonly used word which means “for”, turns to “pa” in Caribbean Spanish. See all items with this value
