first, what does this mean? deja el show
also, if you're puerto rican; do you sometimes substitute r's for l's? for instance, if there is an r in the middle of a word, do you make an l sound instead?
i'm listening to a spanish song and i'm hearing l's all over the place but the words have r's in them.
also, it considered improper or low class to speak that way?

As far as the r's and l's, that's pretty common in Puertoricans and in Dominicans(depending on what part of the country they're from). It's not exactly "proper" Spanish...it's a dialect. Every country has their dialect and "improper" pronunciations and words.
Nej: too late... moo moo has been infiltrated.
LOL, 'deja el show' means your friends with a Puerto Rican or Dominican! LOL. It's total slang and total coloquialism. I wouldn't consider it improper or low class. It depends on your company. It's like saying 'Yo, what's good?', something you may say to your brother or friends, but maybe not something you would say to your boss.
And as far as L and R (or í) usage, ITA with Legends. As far as DR goes, using L or R excessively can determine what part of the country you are from.

Usually it's Latin people from the Caribbean who substitute the r's with l's. It's just local dialect. It's more common in Cubans from my experience than Puerto Ricans. For example, you'll hear someone say "velde" instead of "verde" (green btw). Puerto Ricans do it also, but they also commonly gargle the r's instead of substituting them, if that makes any sense.
Puertoricans use L for Rs all the time when it's not a double r. The double r's they gargle.
palque = parque
chalco = charco
you get the idea.
but sounds like: hello, de hell-cho
verde: say it like "better day"
spanish is very hard
What?? I've conjugated more Spanish verbs than I care to ever see again, and there were all kinds of ones that were irregular (which are a pain in the butt when the test comes)!! And stuff is waaaayy different if you learned Castilian (which is the way I learned it at my first school) Spanish, or the Spanish they speak in Cuba (which is where the teacher here is from) and "Shoe" verbs, and the vosotros/nosotros thing......**sigh** now my brain hurts.....

putting the accent mark, and it is very simple to separate a word into syllables.
Spanish and all romance languages are much more organized and formulaic than English. You learn the basic rules and you pretty much have it down. With English, it's case by case from pronunciation to sentence structure. But from what I've learned of Italian, Spanish rules are still simpler. And Spanish pronunciation is much easier than French. Portuguese pronunciation is easiest though.
(i'm not taking spanish, just watching primer impacto and listening to songs)
I'm with you...and even the irregular verbs in Spanish make more sense than the "regular" verbs in English, half the time.

English on the other hand is a mess to try to teach someone. I'm tutoring a friend and holy moly.
Try explaining "than" and "so" to someone who barely speaks English. What does the word "than" mean? And remember, you can't use the word to define itself.

Than kind of turns into que (more than is mas que), which just seems superfluous somehow.
I think you meant then, which is another multiple one. Then would also be what we use entonces for. You could use despues, if you use then to mean afterwards. Of course, then is also used to refer to something in the past (back then) so that would be antes, or en ese entonces. Plus there's the expression now and then which can be about differences in the present and past (this is now, that was then) or used as one would use once in a while (I like a slice of pizza now and then), which would be de vez en cuando. So yeah, this is what I'm talking about in terms of English and its relative chaos.
that's because it's so hard!
LOL I found this link http://spanish.speak7.com/spanish_pronouns.htm
LOLOLOL. I'm more of a visual/ one on one person so I can't really break it down!

Frau, I'm teaching this right now to my students. Okay, it's really simple.
Basic rules for pronouns
DON'TS
*Never put a pronoun between two verbs
Quiero lo comer = NO! (lol)
*Never use a pronoun as "it" at the end of a sentence.
Vi lo (I want to eat it) = NO! (common mistake with beginning students)
"Lo" should function as a direct object pronoun not as a subject pronoun (it).
DO'S
* Pronouns can placed at the beginning of a conjugated verb.
Lo vi.
* Pronouns can be attached at the end of an infinitive.
Quiero verlo.
Voy a comerlo.
*OR Pronouns can be placed be placed before two verbs.
Lo quiero comer. = Quiero verlo.
Lo voy a comer. = Voy a comerlo.
*Pronouns can be attached to affirmative commands, but you must add an accent to the third/fourth syllable from the end of the word when there are three of more syllables
Siéntate (when you have the dipthong ie you add an accent to the e, when you have the dipthong ae, you add an accent to the a)
Tráemelo
Vete.
Cállate.
Póntelo.
* Pronouns cannot be attached to negative commands. They must be placed between "No" and the command.
No te vayas.
No te lo pongas.
No se lo ponga.
Accents must be added when you have a pronoun attached to an infinitive.
Voy a conseguírtelo (count three syllables from the end of the word)
*In terms of order, the indirect object pronoun always comes before the direct object pronoun.
Voy a conseguírtelo = Te lo voy a conseguir.
