I love how the Spanish establishes and maintains friendships through lots of body contact - kisses on the cheek, lots of hugging, and basically just getting up there in one‘s personal space. This makes interactions much more close and personal.
Also I don't know if you know Spanish, but when writing to friends you also refer to things like this at the ends of emails, like ''un fuerte abrazo'' - ''a big hug'' or ''un beso'' - ''a kiss'', which is fairly charming.
I lived in Spain for 16 years. My Spanish neighbours were friendly, curious about us and always generous with food and produce. They stayed up late, ate late and could never understand why our dogs lived indoors. They were noisy and excitable about life in general. The TV was on permanently. I was shown how to cook Spanish food which was lovely. They didn't really get us being vegeterian. Never mind they were good to us in lots of ways. We helped with the animals horses, dogs and chickens. It was a rural life so very different to big cities.
I studied Spanish here in Egypt and the spanish people I met were very open and friendly, also they didn't treat Arabs as snobbishly as some other Europeans.
I'm a spanish person and I need to say that all spanish people are nice its just that some are still learning on how to take care of themself and other people at the same time (like me) but we're very friendly BUT when someone destroys our limits some spanish people might use violence or just run away in anger (like me)
5:16 we love everyone who comes here if they show respect. We just don't like drunk people doing stupid stuff in the middle of the day as if 100% of the time was a party. Their nationality does not matter even tho it's true that it is an usual stereotype for British and German young tourists more than any other group of tourists. Just don't jump from a balcony to a pool and everything should be alright
It strikes me that no one mention the most important cultural achievment in Spain: The spanish lenguage. If i had to take one thing from the British culture It would be their lenguage as well .... Cheers.
Out of the 6 people interviewed in Spain, 3 of them were not Spanish... Kind of an odd way of finding out what the Spanish think about the British. Apart from that, it's an interesting video, congrats!
So basically Brits love in Spanish people what they don't have: siesta, better weather, having fun, showing their emotions...Thank you, Mitch, for this beautiful episode❤
I am American. I love Spanish and Mexican especially delicious food! I know Spanish language. I studied Spanish at university for a long time ago. I am really Mexican 😊
It is likely that, partly because of historical reasons, people in the U.S. have failed to understand their neighbours. They even tend to refer to them using terms that actually belong to Europeans like Hispanic or Latino, whereas Mexico has got a big Native American influence both in their people and their food. Technically, Mexicans are way more American than U.S. Americans are. And yes, even the U.S. Census recognises that Native American can refer to any person whose origin is in North, Central, or South America.
@@josemanueld5413 Spaniards brought food to Europe from the Americas... They also introduced food to Mexico like for example livestock, Rice, olive oil, garlic, cheese ( Where would Quesadilla be)
Hi Mitch! I just see this episode taking breakfast. Really interesting opinions! I don't have any Spanish friend, but many of my friends have moved there for studies.
Muchas gracias por éste vídeo, entendí casi todas las entrevistas. Agradezco mucho pues mi comprensión del inglés hablado está mejorando mucho gracias a su grandioso trabajo. I enjoy a lot your vídeos. Thanks so much.
The last laughs after hearing the question has intrigued me 😅🤣! I'm happy to see all the nice things Brits have to say about us, and I'm sure the Easy Spanish video will have a similar result. It's been very fun to watch!
Minute 10.48,I agree with this bloke that we spanish are much more honest than British but it has its pros and cons ,Spanish honesty it’s sometimes too much specially in a working environment when someone doesn’t like you they make your life misserable due to being imposible for us to hide our feelings or toughts towards others,They are much more polite than us ,there is no question about it ,when someone bumps into u At any place in the Uk they will always say “sorry” ,here you rarely will hear anything .
I like Brits living in Spain. Maybe some Spaniards don`t like what they perceive as Brits not integrating and interacting more with Spain`s culture beyond beaches and fiesta, but that is it. I love British culture, a great European culture.
I'm British and I hate going to areas like benidorm because of the large British population, the Brits abroad are different from at home. They're complete A*******s. The Spaniards have always been very nice to me because I make an effort
If the UK had Spain's weather, I think British people would be just as happy as Spanish people and would also live that outdoor social life. Just look at Australia, they are basically Brits but with better weather and beaches, and they're way happier. I think most British people are depressed and they don't realise it because they're basically forced to live their life inside and never see the sun. There's nothing to do except drink alcohol and watch terrible TV for most people, but if we get a heatwave in summer, the country comes alive. I would love to be outside all the time but because it's cold and grey overcast skies every single day, I live my life in front of my PC sadly enough.
I am not British but I think Spanish people are nice and polite. However for me as a non-native English speaker sometimes it is hard to understand their English. Do you dare to make the same video asking British people what they think about the Easter European people? (I think you don't.)
I love their accent 😊 That man that say we are more direct.... No we are not, people is really judgemental in here too 😅 could look polite but stab u on the back

As a spanish, the image I have about brits is that the population is very polarized in two types of people: drunken hooligans, and more noble and cultured people. Also the image I think a big part of the world has is that britain has the worst food in the world. I also know none of this is true, because I've never been there and it is just what I got from internet, tv, etc.
For food, for sure British cuisine is not the best. But nor is it as bad everyone says. The image most of the world has about British food comes from US TV and culture. But the USA formed it's opinion on British food when US soldiers came to Britain during the Second World War. At this time, British people had food rationing due to Nazi Germany trying to starve Britain into submission. People were eating tinned food and leftovers, with little-to-no spices. So obviously, American's did not get a good impression of British cuisine, and that is the image most of the world now has. In reality, British cuisine is not much better or worse than any other Northern European or Eastern European cuisine. It's generally comfort food, which is what you need in this weather. Hearty meat pies, gravy, roasted meats, fried fish, pastys, butter, great cheese, amazing cakes and sweet pastries, ales, ciders, whisky, gin, jams, and about 100 different ways to eat potatoes! The good thing about not having an amazing cuisine is that Britain has also adopted food from all around the world. You can find spices and basic ingredients from lots of worldwide cuisines in a standard British super market.
El spaniard que sale en la playa no nos representa, soy uno que vive en Inglaterra y hay mas cosas que los ingleses necesitan aparte de nuestro sol, no tengo la letra n~ en mi teclado anglosajon, ademas tampoco encuentro la tilde, un fuerte abrazo.
12:39 I laughed a lot at this moment. I would definitely laugh if someone ask me these sort of questions front of camera. I just couldn't be serious 😂😂 for the first time.
I notice some of your Spanish people interviewed by you don't look Spanish Spanish and with a really Mexican accent too I could tell right away since I am a Latin American so lol
5:15 very true but, as a matter of fact nobody does ,all areound the world. Anyway the british live in their british guettos so they nor care nor are noticing
The nearest the average Brit gets to Spanish is, "OI! Manuel! You Argie bastard! Fourteen pints if Lager over here NOW! Or we'll send another Task Force!
No, it's not that we don't like that you're here, which seems right to us. It is that you do not learn the language. After unconditional years. Although if you think about it we really don't care that's your problem. Besides, you already know that your accent is not easy to understand. Try a little more (to learn spanish ) as if it were an anecdote in your life.
they are talking about the only spanish people they know, that waiter in Benidorm that brought some nuts with the beer and they insist in calling him Jhonny but dont have a clue nor they care about his real name...
1: 🇪🇸food - no comparison to all its neighbouring countries. 2: stick to using - Brits and British, although you are interviewing people in Brighton. 3: your advertisement writes - practice. It is not wrong and yet better to “practise” when we speaking British.
I've lived in 10 countries, 3 of which were Arab countries. I'm originaly from the US. I've been in Spain for 23 years. I honestly do not think people/a culture are more open or less open or more of this or more of that in some sort of monolithic way. There are cultural generalisations about a people/culture which are often too many times confused with sterotypes. I think the Spanish as whole or the Brits or whoever as whole might be nicer, more "open" about one thing and more closed minded about other things. For example, in Spain, rarely if ever do you have lunch or let alone dinner at the Spanish person's house unless you are part of the family. The Spanish home tends to be a very private space compared to what I've seen in the US or France. The Spanish tend to meet outside. Not all Spanish of course. Religion is more private topic in Spanish where in the US Americans tend to talk about God, their relationp to God more freely. In Spain, religion is private, associated with the "dark catholic inquistion franco conservative nasty history." Where in the US God is associated with different relgions, faith, the spiritual, and personal connection. It's totally different! : ) cheeers. Good video!
I think in general most Spanish people are nice but they can be weirdly cliquey and also frustratingly rude and arrogant at times. Like if you have one Spanish colleague you know, they are fine on their own but if they are with other Spanish people they suddenly group together and the person will act like they don't know you, it's very strange.
@@Cobe1976 I've lived in Spain and Britain, and I would say Spain (or I should say, certain parts of Spain) are definitely worse for this. There is far less effort to include new people into groups in Spain. Many Spanish people retain their friends from school right through to adulthood, much moreso than in Britain, and for this reason it can be very hard to break down that barrier.

Can you do please "what argentinians think about the british"??
I'am french and according to me spanish people are very nice and very polite, they love to help too.
Majority of Spaniards loves France so much, the fake hate is just a meme. We are neighbours and much more.
I love how the Spanish establishes and maintains friendships through lots of body contact - kisses on the cheek, lots of hugging, and basically just getting up there in one‘s personal space. This makes interactions much more close and personal.
Also I don't know if you know Spanish, but when writing to friends you also refer to things like this at the ends of emails, like ''un fuerte abrazo'' - ''a big hug'' or ''un beso'' - ''a kiss'', which is fairly charming.
It can be a bit much sometimes and I'm Spanish.
There is a downside to it, you know. If the interaction is negative, it is also much more close and personal.
I lived in Spain for 16 years. My Spanish neighbours were friendly, curious about us and always generous with food and produce. They stayed up late, ate late and could never understand why our dogs lived indoors.
They were noisy and excitable about life in general. The TV was on permanently.
I was shown how to cook Spanish food which was lovely. They didn't really get us being vegeterian. Never mind they were good to us in lots of ways.
We helped with the animals horses, dogs and chickens. It was a rural life so very different to big cities.
Thanks for the great insight into your life in Spain… sounds like a great mixing pot of cultures with your neighbours, so you keep in touch?
I´m a Spaniard vegetarian and things are fortunately changing for the better.
This was actually heartwarming to watch. So many of them had so many nice things to say about us!
Ahh we’re glad you enjoyed it… of course there was only compliments!
I studied Spanish here in Egypt and the spanish people I met were very open and friendly, also they didn't treat Arabs as snobbishly as some other Europeans.
Haha, they couldn't treat Arabs snobbishly! Parts of Spain were ruled by Arabs!
