From the post: "You see how red Chilean Spanish is? It means it’s quite different. In the beginning of Grad School, I could understand all my Hispanic classmates, but I had a hard time understanding the Chileans!"
As a native Spanish speaker, I find this quite interesting. For me, Chileans are within the category of "easy to understand" while I might struggle a bit understanding some accents that the article qualifies as easy or normal.
- borjaMarti 2y agoWhat I find even more amusing is that one of the hypotheses for why Chilean is so different is that "It’s the farthest region from Spain, so the least communicated to the rest of the empire, and hence the one that drifted the most from the homeland.", and when you check the graph it's one of the closest Spanishes to Spanish Spanish ^^
