What are all those Puertoricans saying when they talk?
They talk so fast!
I mean, I took some Spanish classes, but I still can't understand a single word.
What the hell does "Mira cabron!" mean?
If this sounds like you, don't worry, you're not alone (even most other latins and hispanics can't understand us either). Puertoricans are famous for their speed talking and strange arrangements of words, but above all, what really stands out is our slang.
