I'm glad you've been able to adapt to Spanish culture, which is radically different from that of the United States, but also from the rest of Europe, particularly in terms of schedules. I follow RUclipsrs from the United States living in Spain. Perhaps the most famous is Rachel Anne from Texas. She came as an exchange student and, in the end, has been living in Spain for 9 years now. She agrees with many of the things you mention in this video about personality and the way people speak directly. In the United States, we’d be biting our tongues all day; it seems like people get offended if the direction of the wind changes. In Spain, we have a saying: 'If you get mad, you’ve got two jobs: getting mad and getting over it.'🤣
You look way more natural and happier than a year ago. From a Spaniard living in US that somehow got you on my feed for the last year. I miss Europe, man.
Interesting how you have analyzed things more deeply, and you go beyond the typical clichés about meal times hehe And nice to see that someone can learn from anywhere. That makes you smarter than the average person
Girl probably next lesson for you in incorporating Spanish culture is incorporating spontaneity. Attachment to structure is only so good. If something is fun and a better option than what you had planned then go for it.
Always great to see people from abroad share what they like about our country, makes me think about how we just take some of them for granted now and don't value them. But, no hard feelings, people from the US have this weird habit of thinking a single country in Europe makes up for the whole of Europe, at least when speaking of it. European countries do share some characteristics and ways of life, so to speak, but we are quite different countries as well. Here in Spain alone there are many different backgrounds and people
Como que eso de salir por la noche hasta las tantas es específico de Madrid???? En absoluto. En todos los pueblos y ciudades la gente joven sale mucho por la noche. Los más mayores sois se ha llegado de mis en " Tardeo" o sea lo mismo pero salir a comer y pasar toda la tarde por ahí hasta .....
“Dont look Into the people eyes”, that’s the first thing my american friend told me when I visited the United States and we were walking around New York.
About makeup. As a spaniard man I can say we don't like too much painting in the face (we say "ir pintada como una puerta" "painted as a door ").You have to be proud of your natural beauty.And Danielle, you can be proud 🥰🥰
I think she deserves the compliment, well done. Allow me to be a little (or a lot) prescriptive with grammar and sociolinguistics, though. Although it is true that some people in the USA are starting to use it as an adjective, "Spaniard" is a noun. You are a "Spanish man" or a "Spaniard". Spanish (adj)= from Spain (not as they use it = *anyone who speaks Spanish).
Would be grateful for any tips on where to find a large commercial gym in Madrid with comprehensive strength training equipment (e.g. deadlifting platforms, smith machines, etc.). I am unfamiliar with the brands/chains and need to find one where I can drop in for a fee (over a 1 week time span).
😂😂😂 I have a friend that lived in UK nearly a year and a half and she felt dishelved while partying there. She wears little makeup and she prefers pants and shirts when she go out. Her British friends wore small skirts (whitout stockings) and tiny tops (in December) with high heels and a ton and a half makeup on their faces. She says they change their face tone and you are able to see where exactly ends the makeup job because there is a line. She never understood them.
You really need to understand why things are the way they are. I’m referring to point 7. You are spot on, don’t take me wrong. But what you need to understand is that what you see in Europe re this point is a reflection of how dense cities are. People here are just must cramped in less space and that bluntness is just a mechanism, an effective one indeed, to mark boundaries in interactions. Which are common because there is simply more density of people. You come from a place where space is abundant, very abundant in fact, and actually a dream come true, a sign that you made it, is to own thousands of acres in the middle of nowhere with everything you need, possibly even a cinema, so you don’t have to see any other human ever again if you so wish. So imagine if and when you see someone you are blunt and direct in your interactions. I wouldn’t recommend it tbh, specially in an already polarised society. Be careful what you wish for
@@CarlosPerez-zf1uy in Germany people stare if they want to intimidate you or when they are judging the shit out of you, while in Spain they do it for no reason :)
You should treat everyone well, even if you don't like them, it's in the Christian culture... and besides, in the USA there is easy access to weapons. And pretty girls don't need makeup.
You're both growing up and soaking up parts of Europe. Go live with the Germans, some things you talk about are sort-of EU-generic, but there are also things that will be different! Try the UK, France, Italy but enjoy life in EU-style Danielle. I like your video's and life-reports!
Para esta gente "café culture" es sentarse a tomar un café en una cafetería. Tremendo. Novedad mundial. Cuando descubran la "wine culture" o la "sparkling water culture" lo van a flipar.
Cuando entre al mercado laboral, con currelas de toda la vida que despues del curro salimos a tomar un par de birras va a flipar de verdad. Y que los colegas te llamen 15 minutos antes a ver si te vienes de cena...pues le explotara el cerebro.

Thanks, always learning!
@@carlosaradas5926 He can be specifying he's not a woman. I don't think the way he used it is wrong.
@@carlosaradas5926 Spaniard is both noun and adjective.

I'm not sure! I went to David Lloyd's
Puedes ir a un bar! No hay nada de eso, pero después de tres copas, no te importará. Por supuesto, sólo es una broma. Feliz Año
In Spain ve are very sociable and we talk a lot, I know 😂😭 people ask u about everything
about makeup...UK is diferent.
😂😂😂 I have a friend that lived in UK nearly a year and a half and she felt dishelved while partying there. She wears little makeup and she prefers pants and shirts when she go out.

It's true, I've noticed it; in the UK even very young girls are overly made up.
Lol
Completely agree! I was thinking "she hasn't been to the UK"
The huge fake eyelashes 😬
It happened to me also... after moving to Spain!
In Europe You are a human person, not a number.
Nice video!

Why did you decide to move to Spain?
Ese mic de Star Wars XD
I recommend you adopt the habit of seriously trying to learn Spanish.
You must have a lot of good friends
@5:34 who’s that? 😄
staring is not a European culture, I experienced it only in Spain and sometimes in rural France
The german stare is a league of its own.
wait until you go to Germany, is even worse, and i am a Spaniard, im used to stare and to be stared, but Germans beat us in that hahahaha
Indeed, same thats its not considered normal in the Netherlands either. People will get very angry if you would. Its considered intimidating
factsssssss
@@CarlosPerez-zf1uy in Germany people stare if they want to intimidate you or when they are judging the shit out of you, while in Spain they do it for no reason :)
It sounds weird to put such efford in makeup when you live in a culture where people does not stare each other, don't you think?
oh, the country of "europe"....
Europe is not an ethnostate. Staring is not a habit in the Netherlands either. Its considered rude.
The Netherlands are a culturally irrelevant micro-country.
Going out until 7 o'clock???
Really? What's about a good breakfast? Cañas and bravas usually help having a good sleep.
You adopted Spanish habits, not European habits. There is nothing called European habits. Each country in Europe has different habits.
Why MUST usans always say things like Madrid, Spain - Seville, Spain? You just told us that you are in Spain!!!
Greetings from RUclips, Internet.
murricans thinks we are as dumb as they are.
You should treat everyone well, even if you don't like them, it's in the Christian culture... and besides, in the USA there is easy access to weapons. And pretty girls don't need makeup.
Great video. But I hope if I meet with you in the streets of Madrid you don´t stare me for 4 seconds. If you do so I´ll greet you. Happy 2025.

En Valencia vivirias mejor que en Madrid.

Yes my Spanish blood in my country where I'm rich at from cali 🇺🇸.
Does everyone stare the way I do
I only stare this way at you 😍
European habits? more like basic human habits
05:56 girl described being normal as minimalistic
capitalism is worse than a brain tumor
Lo del cafe por la generación Z..... en España se llevaba haciendo toda la vida
