  • You’re saying that certain things are hard to pronounce for Spanish speakers, and i’m letting you know that it will depend on each individual and not apply to the entirety of Hispanics as a whole, not too difficult to understand, everything else i kinda don’t care. Also, “My boss has trouble pronouncing this therefore it must be an issue to literally all hispanics” is kind of a nonsensical conclusion to arrive to.


  • Not really, it will depend on the person. Another reason some hispanics tend to add an “e” for english words that start with “s” is because the spanish equivalent of it does start with an “e” (stress, study, etc). If we take words that start with an “s” in both languages, suddenly that’s not an issue, that’s why you don’t hear hispanics saying “Eh-Shadow” instead of “Shadow”.


  • “Acelerar” is pronounced like that because it has a single “C”, the english equivalent has two. A comparable word for pronunciation would be “Acceso”, this one does use the “KS” sound.

    Also words that start with “S” aren’t hard to pronounce for Spanish speakers, it just sounds like your boss either has a thick accent or doesn’t care to use the English pronunciation of the word.

    Source: i’m Hispanic, lol.




  • I don’t get why people think “Latinx” is unpronounceable in Spanish, it’s equally pronounceable as in English lol.

    You could either say “Latincs”, or “Latin Equis” which would be the Spanish version of how i hear people say it in English.

    I do prefer “Latine” though, it sounds better and matches the gender neutral versions of other words in Spanish. Also feels cunt, which is important.
