El acento de esta mujer

¿Cuál acento tiene esta mujer en este video?

[Luna Azul]

Estoy casi segura de que es chileno, pero no sabría decir qué parte de Chile.

¿Cuál acento tiene esta mujer en este video?

Suena mejor: "¿Qué acento tiene la mujer en este video?"

"Cual" se usa más que todo cuando tienes varios de donde escoger, lo que no es el caso aquí.

La repetición de "esto" suena mal en español.

Me suena al sur de Chile (y el liceo resulta estar en la Isla Grande de Chiloé)

What is the best way to recognize a Chilean accent?

To be Chilean -and not a deaf-

That's a difficult question. The way they pronounce certain letters and the intonation, but you have to be familiar with different accents.

If I asked you how you recognize the accent from Nebraska, or from Idaho, I'm sure you'd have a hard time explaining.

Well I'm not deaf, but I'm not Chilean either. Anything to listen for specially?

Sure, it's mostly the rhythm of the sentences, but there is also the way she omits some "s" sounds, and how softly she pronounces "r" and some other consonants.

Omits -s sounds, and leaves out some r's? That's found in so many different dialects that were originally based on Andalusian Spanish, such as Carribean Spanish, Rioplatense, and many other.
Which dialects never aspirate the -s? It looks like the Interior of Mexico never does, but the rest of Mexico has it, as well as Central America.

She doesn't leave out r's... she pronounces them all but more softly than other Spanish speakers.
And not every accent omits the same -s sounds.

You would have to hear many regional accents to catch the nuances.

Andalusian, Caribbean and Chilean accents are very different. As I said before, you have to be familiar with the accents to be able to tell which is which.

Not only that, inside every country there are several different accents. A person from a different country may be able to tell what country the accent is from. Telling where in that country the accent is from is another story. Only the people who live there know, and not always.
