    Yeah, makes sense. I messed it up.

    in the carribean, between the USVI and PR. I understand it and can write it, but my speaking is very broken.

    Now… the broken speaking, is this because you don’t use it much, or because you’re speaking in a carribean accent? (says mr river plate with the pile of sh sounds and voseo)

      Both. I rarely speak in Spanish, but also, the “Spanish” I know is from the north east coast of Puerto Rico and mostly slang and heavily laden with african and taino words. For context, think Tego Calderon.

      EDIT: I guess I should clarify that it’s the way I speak it. My reading comprehension is higher because I did read a lot in spanish and I still can.
