    Thanks!!
    Quick question: at the 6 min mark you say something that sounds like "heavy" "...haciendo el Trap. Que con la (union)? de P.R and D.R porque es (jevy)?" Or something of the sort. I hear that a lot in the other things i listen to. what does it mean?

      Yes Jevy in the caribbean is actually a word that is stolen from English, but spelled with Spanish phonetics. It just means really cool, or awesome. In Spain they say fuerte, but in the caribbeean they say jevy. If you want to use it to talk about a person you would change it up a bit. For example, if you saw a really stylish,handsome, "cool" guy walking around you would say Mira a ese "JEVITO/JEVO" for a girl it would be "Jeva/Jevita"

      And unión is just the coming together of people or things.

Best Sites To Learn Caribbean Spanish Slang (Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, & Cuba)

              At Bilingüe Blogs, we pride ourselves on teaching authentic Spanish, so that students can understand and communicate with natives in a natural way. Many slang words, and colloquial phrases are not taught in schools or other courses. Many dictionaries do not seem to contain them either. Typically, in order to learn these things, you have to befriend someone from the country that uses the dialect that you want to learn. Another option could be to travel or move to that country. Sometimes, neither of these options are possible, but there is no need to worry. You can learn practically anything online nowadays. With that being said, I would like to share with you some of the best sites for learning colloquial phrases and slang in Spanish. In this article we will only be investigating the Caribbean since they are close in proximity, and all have a very similar spoken dialect.  **DISCLAIMER** This article is intended for  i...
