Each caribbean accent, which is the most difficult to understand? |
Travel Info alright each caribbean island has a unique accent, for those who have traveled to the diffent islands which ones you find most difficult to understand( i say bim or barbados, jamaica,and guyana) Travel Tips If you stay somewhere for about 2 weeks, and you stay with the people of the area, you will find that you can understand them, what ever their accent is. Others Puerto Rican i can understand all of them im jamaican WELL IF YOU FROM THE CARIBBEAN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ALL OF THEM........ IM JAMAICAN.... BIG UP!!!!! UHH...ME!!!! Living in Puerto Rico, I have grown accustomed to hearing lots of different accents. By far, the hardest to understand is in St. Thomas and the Virgin Islands. Because French is the widest spoken language over there, it's always been tough for me to understand. I think its more the person speaking than the accent, being of caribbean descent (cuban/jamaican) I understand most other islanders, but I still run across a few, who I'm like, what the heck are they sayin?! People have completely disregarded things such as enunciation, pronunciation, and grammar, which makes it very difficult to understand even if your used to it. Also with all the slang and rapid talking it doesnt make things easier. There is no reason why anyone from an english speaking caribbean island should be hard to understand because they have all learned either American English or the Queens English and if they want you to understand them, they are able to "switch up" the way they speak. It's a matter of if they want to...but I have found the people who are hardest to understand because of this; US Virgin islanders and Bajans a close second.... |
