What's the accent of people from Costa Rica like? |
Travel Info What's the accent of people from Costa Rica like? Travel Tips I would say that Costa Ricans speak a very mild spanish. Not fast at all. I've never noticed that they drop their s's (like other poster said). They do use vos (a form that is more informal than "tu" but only if they know you pretty well, if not they use "usted"). I included a link for youtube. You can hear Costa Ricans for yourself!! Source(s): My neighbors are Costa Rican. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab106nabo... Other Travel Tips Take out the "s" from your words. For example: "Como 'ta u'ted?" I also know some who spoke in the form of "vos". The ethnic background of Costa Rica is comprised mainly of - Indigenous native Indians, Asiatics, Eastern European, Caribbean Blacks, and Scandinavian people. Then to top this all off - at least 50% of them speak Spanish as well as English. It would be very difficult if not impossible to give them a distinct "accent" as they all have a relatively "laid back" and enjoyable manner of speaking. - Its kind of low key and rather musical!. VIVA LA PURA VIDA! a realist and a Tico at Heart! I just wanted to add that "some" people in Costa Rica do drop the s, mostly if they're from Nicaragua or other countries (we have a lot of inmigrants) it's kinda like that of people from Colombia, but different , it's hard to describe, just very neutral. |
