Soy Filipino y Ecuadorian! this was funny, im trying to learn Espanol and i have many friends that are also Ecuadorian at my store talk talk to me and im trying to learn Poco from them haha, i also teach them some Tagalog cuz they want to learn some Filipino language also.
Hey there, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! And that’s awesome, language exchange is always great! I had a hard time when I got here because of all of the slang and even more so the speed that everyone speaks at but now it’s become much much easier. My friend in the video actually wanted to add in bad words too since they’re so frequently used but I decided to leave that for another occasion 😅 Thanks for watching! 👏🏼
Hello GM ACE, My name is Solon from Houston TX. and I'm planning to move to Ecudor as soon as I sell my house in Houston. I enjoy your channel. You make Ecuadorians seem real, like regular people, while others don't get in touch with anything but the material culture down there. I really appreciate this. Would you advise an older expat, I'm 67, to complete the VISA applications before moving down there or after you arrive? I understand that I can move there for 6 months with just a passport. Thank you, Solon
Hello Solon, thanks for reaching out! First of all I’d like to say thanks for the comment, it really made my day, I’m glad you enjoy my content! Also I hope you enjoy Ecuador, it has so much to offer! As for your first question, my answer depends on mainly two things. The first is the language, it might be a little more difficult to do if you consider your Spanish isn’t the best since there might be a lot of words that are hard to understand and if you can avoid paying for an interpreter then that’s money saved! The second thing is where you plan on staying. I have a friend who had a hard time when he came over since he had to keep traveling back to the bigger cities in order to sign a document, and yes sometimes they would call him in to sign 1 document! Of course this is avoidable if you plan on living in one of the cities where you can do the process (Quito/Guayaquil) but if you don’t then it’s gonna be somewhat tedious. And in regards to the second question you do have those 6 months that you can stay with just the passport. I hope that answered your questions but if you have any more feel free to ask! Have a great day Solon!
You are absolutely correct. But even so the vocabulary/slang used is very common throughout Ecuador! I have been wanting to get some friends from the highlands to talk about the slang they know too but everyone tends to be too busy :( Thanks for watching! 👏🏼
Hey, how’s it going. I think it’s a good idea but two things to take into account: -there may be idioms or phrases that are VERY specific to Ecuador that may not be able to be translated. I don’t think they’ll be used very often in a marketplace setting but always good to be prepared. -keep the device hidden or very well held because petty crime is a thing and if you have it out for too long or leave it in a back pocket someone may just swipe it. Other than that, I’d say you’re good to go. If you have any other questions let me know. Thanks for watching! 👏🏼
“Ese man” is one that I’ve heard a lot but we weren’t sure if it was slang or a kind of double agent lol The rest are expressions I have not heard used around the coast. What does chendo chendo mean?
@@GMAceM Chendo, means just joking, "Joking joking" if you are fooling someone then you say this for them to not be angry or hit you...like say...kidding kidding, ill send you a link with Cuencano slang, but you are right, the Coast of Ecuador uses different slang than we do...i actually dont know or remember too many as i left Cuenca around 1995...
Es que ñaño es más comúnmente usado en todas partes y mi amiga específico palabras de Portoviejo. Eso si, faltaron full palabras pero eso queda para un pt. 2 al futuro
"Chuchaqui" comes from Quechua. Don't forget. We use many Quechua words and expressions.

@@kerllyperez4566 We call it Quechua.

What’s phrases from shat regions? Do you have a Lojano episode?
Also I think it's partially important to point out that these girls are from the Coast instead of the Capitol.

MMM le falta más expresiones más vivesa criolla pero si esta bien llamativo bendiciones
In your opinion, would a (handheld) language translation device work in the marketplace? For a person with very poor hearing, like myself?

"esta Gara" "la bola" "ese man" "chendo chendo" Cuencano slang
