Test your Chilensis level
This is a music video called "enchufa" created by an Italian residing in Chile who's taken reggaeton to a new level. jejeje. But if you understand him you're doing well with your Chilensis. If not, you'll be struggling a bit trying to understand Chilean slang and swear words. I personally think Chileans speak the most difficult Spanish in the world, and several friends who are also native English speakers have said the same. Chilean Spanish (or Castellano, as they call it here) is difficult because many of them barely articulate syllables, they speak in a monotone, quickly, and often cut off the second half of their words. Here, I think Benni actually is quite easy to understand. Later I'll upload a more difficult video or two. But this is good for starters. A link to the lyrics.
