About your last point... The thing is.. is not really about having or not money to pay a babysitter. I really believe it has to do with the fact that we are quite social and in general, we use the rule of the more the better. So, bringing your kids, babies, friends and so, it's most of the times welcome. And let's be honest, as a kid, it's quite cool. You get to go to bed late, to play day and night(literally) and whenever there are some local celebrations, nights are just about music, dancing and fun :)
Yeah! In fact, sometimes in summer at 11 pm families go out for dinner! 😅 I know it’s crazy to other people from other cultures, but here it’s quite normal. All my live (i’m 34) I’ve been going out with my parents, their friends and their children, and they are my best friends. And with my aunt, uncle and cousis too. The parents are eating or drinking and talking, and all the children are playing around. It was a win-win for me! 😅 About the alcohol, it’a true that in Spain we drink a lot, but not as much as it looks, not to get drunk, it’s just a social thing.
Hola Morgan! Love your videos. About the kids in bars and restaurants, I have to say that Spanish get surprised about how de-attached families are in the States. It is not that a nannies are not available, but rather the family goes out together 😀 just a different mindset.
Yo tambien creo que en España incluimos a niños y mayores en todos los eventos que podemos. Para que vayan a dormir tarde hacen antes una buena siesta.
Extra Virgin olive oil is high in antioxidants which helps repair cells from cell oxidation. In other words it keeps healthy cell growth. Spain is a family-oriented country, hence parents take their children with them anywhere they go, as people like socializing. Bear in mind that there are many regional differences across the country, even languages as castilian is the main but not the only one. Spanish cuisine ranks as the second best in the world after italian, and before French cuisine, according to experts, so Spain is a foodies' paradise. Every province has its own distinctive dishes. Also, Spain has had many settlers throughout history which have left their mark in the landscape and architecture.
7:32 the children are there because they are part of the family, it's a cultural thing, if you are going somewhere to have fun you take your kids, if you invite someone to have dinner or go anywhere it's a given that they'll bring their kids if they have any, the family is a package deal. How do children in the USA learn to behave in public if they never go anywhere?
Bueno, a las 23:00 horas con niños y con música… no sé yo, ahora en el bar de un pueblo cenando pues igual, pero tanto como llevarlos a un sitio ruidoso… no sé yo… Saludines.
I think your 3rd point is a good one to make specially for Americans going to Spain that we mostly learn British English since they're closer and were part of the EU. So as an American you might find that we use different words than what you might expect. The specific case of "rubber" as "eraser" might also have to do with the fact that in Spanish we use the word "goma" which is literally rubber in English so it could also be a case of literal translation.
The last one I don’t really think it’s about the money, I remember as a kid being at 11-12 pm (which isn’t late in Spain 😂) with my parents and their friends in a restaurant and it felt great to share dishes with people from all ages, I got to listen to several interesting anecdotes and always had a great time
@@HolaMorgan hahaaha Im trying to figure out your face the first time a kid asked you for a rubber...... Hahahahaha, sorry.. IMAO Inside your head you probably wonder... Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?? 🤣
Morgan. I have a master in human resources I remember when I was doing an internship in company and one of my job was to find a native american/british/australian teacher in order to teach workers to improve their level of english. The reality is that it was very difficult. The great majority of candidates were spaniard with C2/proficiency level of english.
Hi Morgan, simply "merece la pena" just say "gracias" for another great video. I insist that you do not look for excuses, it will stop returning to Spain, we are waiting for you this summer. Hi for everyone from Toledo, Spain.
Your second point is totally what I'm afraid of when I go on exchange. I know for a fact that the Spanish I learned in class will be completely different from the Spanish they actually speak daily. My level atm is also B1, hopefully it'll be enough to get by in the beginning😅
The reality is that the spaniards that goes to the university must achieve b2 level of english. The reality is that In my basque city when I studied my degree of business I had business english 1, 2 and the 3 was optional. I learnt how to write a commercial letter in correct english, it was not easy to pass because it was a difficult vocabulary that I didnt use it never before nor in UK and not in the english academies that I studied. I remember when I heard that even american students that were there failed the test. The main exercise that it was difficult was to translate the whole letter. However, in other degree like economy or similiar was only to achieve the level B2 at the end of the career. The importance of the english is really high in spain.
dude yes i totally get that! Let me know if you try Busuu too because then you could talk with people from other countries before you go! Youll definitely be fine :)
Can any native british confirm about the rubber thing? I think eraser is just american english...I went to a British school and they taught me rubber so I think that's the reason.
Hola, desde la opinión de alguien q no tiene ni idea de moda(yo) ,sobre lo d q en Europa en general empezamos/vamos adelantados en tema moda, desde España me da la sensación de q es completamente al revés, siempre creo q se tiende mucho a idealizar a EEUU(USA) y a copiar lo q se hace allí, no solo en ropa.
Verdad, pero copian lo que las celebridades de Hollywood llevan como moda. El promedio de la gente de los EEUU no suele importarse mucho con la moda o elegancia al vestirse.
Yea we are taught the word "Rubber" back in school hahaha We also learnt "queue" for "line" and when I lived in the US absolutely nobody understood when I said queue I felt so stupid
For me, the Spanish way of accepting small children in all environments is way better than the protective and restrictive Anglo-Saxon approach e.g. barring children from pubs (I once saw a noticeboard outside a pub near London with a warning in capitals: 'No animals, no travellers, no children'). In Spain children are introduced from an early age to the atmosphere of a bar, and they sit down to have dinner with their parents in a posh restaurant. Why not? Treating them like adults in these environments probably helps to avoid them turning into binge-drinking alcoholic teenagers (or young adults in the US). The other benefit is that drunken adults tend to behave much better when there are children around.
Aqui es algo normal que los niños salvan siempre que sea con sus padres en un entorno controladony se hacen quedadas con otros padres y cenan hasta tarde y no pasa nada es normal. No se usan niñeras, como mucho se quedan con los abuelos.. es mas comun adaptar las salidas a cosas con niños ir a cenar y al cine, quedar para cenar con otros padres , centros con recreativos.. las jornadas laborales no suelen adaptarse al horario escolar asi que coinciden despues del trabajo de los padres.
As a person who moved to US for work, I was shocked (es shocked not surprised) by how controlled and contained Americans are. They are their own bubble of "the best" mentality. We, Americans doesn't have full freedom and we're not the only ones who enjoy the freedom.
2:18 Ah!! The CEFR is soo relatable. 5:15 Oléé!! We need so many more people thinking like this jejejej 6:05 Yes, Zara is Spanish, specifically from Galicia (Escocia).
Hi I just discover your channel really good content and details is always fun to see what other people think of your culture. I spent one year in deep Tennesse and felt the same way. By the way don't worry about your spanish we appreciate every effort don't think people is laughing at your spanish is just that is very weird for us to hear foreingners trying to speak spanish. You should come down to Malaga next time!!!
What i felt shocked about spanish culture is to have dinner at 9. It is too late from my point of view. Because most of koreans tend to have dinner at 6 or 7 after getting off the work. When i was in Barcelona, KFC around Sagrada familia was too crowded with customers at 9 pm. It was really surprising
Here is the thing, you can not learn a language from a book or in a class. Also, language learning has nothing to do with grammar. Learning a language is about listen and repeat, just as babies do, just as we once did. Hola Morgan, you are the cutest, the prettiest girl who ever talked Spanish...
Estás siendo muy generosa con los choques culturales, un Español sé parece a un Estadounidense, lo mismo qué una pera a un caballo 😂 Nunca sé puede generalizar, vosotros NO TODOS, venís al mundo a trabajar a alcanzar un estatus social, necesitáis reconocimiento y atención constante Los Españoles venimos a vivir, y si para ello hace falta trabajar pues se trabaja NO TODOS, nos quejamos por todo, pero no hacemos nada para cambiarlo Estamos peleados dentro del país todos con todos, Los de Izquierdas con los de derechas, los del Real Madrid contra los del Barca, los del Sevilla con los del Betis, algunos Catalanes Vascos y Gallegos con el resto de España Pero... llega la hora de comer y no se habla ni de deportes ni de política sé disfruta sé ríe y uno sé relaja, luego llega el Lunes y vuelta a empezar 😂♥️
A mí me enseñaron "eraser" 🤔 Me siento un poco marciana ahora mismo 😂 Aunque "rubber" tiene sentido. Es como si en EEUU se le llamara borrador y en Reino Unido goma. En español uso las dos palabras. Sobre lo de los niños, mi hijo es pequeño y yo no le saco a esas horas porque no me gusta. A mis padres no les gustaba y tampoco lo hicieron conmigo. Cuando sea más mayor sí que le llevaré a cenar y otro tipo de planes a otras horas, pero ahora mismo no, aunque sé que es costumbre. Yo ni siquiera le dejo acostarse tarde en Nochebuena y Nochevieja 😅
Im sorry but I don't agree with the whole fashion thing. All of those trends you just talked about started here in the States. I'm almost 60 years old, a teen of the 80s .NYC put Fila sneakers on the map back then along with all the distressed denim jeans and jackets. Madonna, Cindy Lauper, and the GoGos. A lot of new wave and punk bands in the 70s and 80s started all these trends, and these other countries copied us....along with rap and hip hop.
IT'S VERY UNUSUAL FOR A NON SPANISH AMERICAN TO BE INTERESTED IN THE SPANISH CULTURE. I WONDER, IF YOU HAVE SOME SPANISH CONNECTIONS IN YOUR FAMILY. IN THE UK, THEY ALSO CALL THE ERASER A RUBBER. IN NORTHERN SPAIN, SUCH AS GALICIA AND THE BASQUE REGION, PEOPLE DO LOOK VERY MUCH LIKE YOU. THE PEOPLE IN NORTHERN SPAIN, ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH.
