Ever notice how Dominican Spanish, Southern Black English, and NYC slang have their own unique rhythm- but they are similar at the same time? I love exploring the similarities and differences in our lingüistic variety as multicultural people. Part of why I started Yaprendí was to create a space to share this appreciation for our uniqueness and help us see each other more fully.
Examples:
🇩🇴 Dominican Spanish: “Qué lo qué, manín?” (What’s up, my guy?)
🏾 Southern Black English: “Whatchu got goin’ on?” (What are you up to?)
🏙️ NYC Black Culture: “What’s the vibes?” (What’s the mood?)
