Hi 🌏!!! Thank you for watching our video! Show us your ❤ with Subscribe, Like👍 & Comment and Share! 🇺🇸Christina www.instagram.... / @christinadonnelly 🇪🇸Andrea www.instagram....
That's okay, Christina. We all make mistakes. You did the best you could to pronunce those Spanish 🇪🇦 words. For a Native American/English speaker such yourself. It might be quite difficult. You'll get the hang of it nxt time. From 🇫🇷❤️🇺🇸
I love when Andrea explain to her that not all Spanish people pronunce Ibiza with the Z sound. In Spain we have a loooooot of accents and vocabulary according to where we live, and I think that is so cool and cute, the diversity of a languague!
You can tell that Andrea is European, when Europeans teach others their languages they dont tend to gloss over little mistakes, they want to make sure you say it properly like a native so they explain it well. That can be very helpful but also a bit intimidating to new learners but it always comes from a place of love ❤️
Nah, I'm European, I teach languages and I'm not as harsh as her. You can explain the correct way to say a word without complaining about the person's pronunciation, otherwise some students would feel too intimidated and fear the speak in the language they're learning! Glossing over and being kind yet strict are two different things. But for a video like this, her teaching technique was fun.
@@lauragoreni3020 Maybe she was too harsh on Christina because she's not used to seeing others trying to learn her language. Because, for example, here in Latin America, there are a lot of North Americans (US and Canada, Mexico excluded), and when they come here and try to speak Spanish or Portuguese - if you go to Brazil - we tend to be polite and just correct them in words that they use wrong or that they pronounced wrong, but we never try to teach them to speak like a native. Example: If they are from the US, and they say they are _americanos_ (lit. Americans) or that they come from _América_ (lit. America(s)) we tend to tell them that they are wrong - because in Spanish they are - and that the correct forms are _estadounidense_ and _Estados Unidos_ , and that _americano_ means ‘people from the continent America’, and that _América_ means the entire continent. If they are from both, Canada and the US, we tend to correct them in a few words, but often, we tell them that they pronounce the words correctly, obviously not like a native. PS: Normally, if they are from Europe, they tend to know more Spanish (sometimes Portuguese) than those from the US and Canada.
@@itsgiag I’m American and I speak English and Spanish. I only refer to myself as estadounidense when I’m speaking Spanish. I have to correct people from Latin America who say it’s incorrect for us to call ourselves Americans. I noticed that you as a lot of Latin Americans refer to our country as los Estados Unidos which is fine because we also say the United States as a shortened version. However, the official name of our country is los Estados Unidos de America. Entonces la palabra America es literalmente parte del nombre de nuestro paiz entonces no es un equivocación decir en inglés que somos Americans. Gracias
@@anndeecosita3586 Yeah that’s true, calling Americans “Americanos” is not incorrect. Still for many Latin Americans it really wouldn’t make sense since also like you said we call you Estadounidense, since América is from Canada to Argentina and Chile. We understand that America is in the name but generally when people use América in Latin American it means all of the continent(s) and people in the US only to describe themselves
@@LilacMorelli , @Christophe Michael Clarence , A great battle is coming that will decide the fate of the world's friends! Who will win: Сhristina's fans or Lauren's fans! Watch this summer, only on TH-cam!
When Andrea said 'We were doing Za Ze Zi Zo Zu in an exaugurated manner it reminded me of people from Andalucia and how they express themselves. So funny 🤣🤣😍😍
The "Z" is pronounced like "S" in: Andalusia, the Canary Islands and all of Latin America. Why? Observe the route of the Spanish conquistadors towards America : 1.Andalusian ports, 2. Canary Islands, 3. America. This is also the explanation of the most famous carnivals
Your Spanish is great! Just some tiny corrections. In this in this context, saying "que eres buena representante" is incorrect, or at least it sounds off. Instead, you can say "Me siento orgullosa de que seas una buena representante", or "Me enorgullece que seas una buena representante", as most of the time, when a verb is accompanied by a Que, you have to conjugate it into subjunctive. On a similar note, while saying "Buen trabajo", isn't incorrect, and we do use it sometimes, it's way more common to say "Bien hecho", "Muy bien", or some variation depending on the country.
I always thought about the main problem between Spanish and English pronunciations, I think the vocals pronunciation plays a good role. a - ei e - i i - ai o - ou u- iu something like that
Hola Christina. Soy español y te puedo asegurar que Andrea te ha enseñado muy bien la correcta pronunciación de esas palabras en castellano. El español de España. Al final lo has hecho muy bien. Enhorabuena 👍
Como sugerencia, podrían tener tantos alguien de España como de Latinoamérica, para que vean la diferencia del z, c, s, y la g, pero estuvo divertido el video
Exactly! I was thinking the same. As I'm Mexican-American living in Los Angeles, some of these were actually correct. Spain Spanish and Latin-American spanish has it's distinct variants and pronunciation differences. I mean even Puerto Rican spanish and Cuban spanish are different than Mexican Spanish with their own slang terms. The language for us adapts over time. Like how American english is different to British English ie "Petrol stations vs gas station" or "Color vs colour" or "aluminium vs aluminum." As we lose our connection with the dominant power during the colonial days, people tend to change the language over time. My best guess is Christina retained her knowledge of Latin America Spanish because of our influence within the U.S.A...Although most are definitely taught formal Spain Spanish in the classroom setting. In the end usually most speak in Latin American spanish.
Añade tambien la letra "Y" porque muchos latinoamericanos le dicen "Lle o Ye" en España le decimos "i griega" porque es la i de los griegos (obviamente)
The Spanish Castilian accent is more difficult for English speakers. With a little practice though it can be emulated. We're used to hearing the more simple Mexican accent in the states.
Worst part of this comment it's not only the fact you're calling an accent "simple" it is that most likely what you're calling Mexican accent could probably be any Latin American accent.
Arroz, it's very good pronounce in the two ways, because the fist way is common in the latin american accent, and the canarias, and the second accent it´s common in the north and central of spain, and may be in equatorial guinea.
Refrigerador is difficult for me as well, and I'm spanish XD. The easy thing about spanish is that what you read, is what you pronounce. Each letter has a fixed sound (with the exceptions of C, G, Y, and R, those can have special cases). The vocals are just A, E, I, O and U, five letters five sounds.
Word of advice for English speakers learning. Most people don’t say refrigerador. We say “refri”. Basically the Spanish equivalent to fridge. Or Atleast in Mexico, it’s this way…
@@pak3ton en mi caso nevera y refrigerador no es lo mismo, de hecho el refrigerador hace parte de la nevera, solo es la zona para congelar (el freezer pues)
The trilling R is even difficult for some native Spanish speakers, but there are always ways to make it work even if you don't pronounce it perfectly. Perhaps, in a way, it is similar to when in English you have to make some consessions (as in elision) in order to be able to pronounce a word when the consonant clusters become too hard for the tongue to roll them out smoothly.
Spanish is just a beautiful language, and it is really easy, once you learn how to pronounce every consonant and vowels, you will pronounce it very well, it is a phonetical language
Ummm the third one, no one in Spain uses "refrigerador" we use "nevera" or "frigorifico" in Latin America they call it refrigerador, but as she is from Spain I had to say this
@@eddie-roo we don't have it in Spanish (as in two consonants making one sound, not very often) and usually letters are pronunced as they sound so it's normal she didn't realize if she hasn't studied the phonemes when learning English
Although I am a Russian speaker, it was not difficult for me to pronounce most of these words. Some of them are even pronounced the same way as in Spanish. Unless the accents in the words can be different. For example, Ibiza. We also have solid "r" sounds and a "Tz" sound. But with the word "refrigerador" it was a little complicated. In Russian, the pronunciation of this word is something between English and Spanish pronunciation. I was able to read "Vehiculo" only because I know that in Spanish the letter "H" is mostly unreadable. Don't mind my bragging, in any case, I wouldn't have survived in Spain because of my speech impediment. I can't pronounce the "R" sound properly in Russian (and Spanish, probably) P.s. Chiquillo is an absolute champion. Forget that I was talking about the similarity with the Russian pronunciation))
I also find Russian pronunciation not hard since my native language is Spanish. Russian to me (especially the one from Moskva) sounds very similar to Brazilian Portuguese when I hear from the distance.
@@geosophik9369 Yes, I have heard several times that Portuguese is similar to Russian for non-Russian speakers. To tell the truth, even Andrea's pronunciation reminded me of something Russian accent. Probably because of similar sounds in languages.
@@Askhad96 This is a smiley face :) . For some reason, it so happened that we just denote it with parentheses ")". The more parentheses, the more you smile or laugh. )) It's already a reflex to put them in some sentences. We also often replace "lol" and so on with them. Keep track of the number of parentheses)))))
@@elvisionario9466 we have very similar sounds like θ = th as in thanks δ = th as in the χ = ch as in Loch The L and R are very close. Our words have similar structure. Consonant - vowel - consonant - vowel When in other European languages you see many consonants together like sch or ght and they have crazy pronunciation for us, because our languages are phonetic. Each letter makes one sound, they don’t have multiple possible pronunciations depending on the word.
Spanish has 70% latin roots, 15% greek roots (imported through latin), 7% arabic roots, 5% gothic (old germanic) roots and 3% other european loans (mainly french and italian).
@@BlackHoleSpain Spanish adopted some Hellenic words without changing the pronunciation! For example: Φιλοσοφία / Filosofía became Philosophy in English but in Spanish they pronouncing it exactly like we do in Hellenic! Istoría - History Fantasía - fantasy …etc
Andrea, la próxima vez ponle el trabalenguas de la R, ya no se volverá a confundir: "Erre con erre, guitarra; erre con erre, carril: rápido ruedan/corren los carros, detrás del ferrocarril".
So happy to watch it. And make me feel proud to be Indonesian. Because, I have no trouble trying to pronounce a foreign language word..and our tongue are very flexible and adaptable to foreign languages. In terms of pronunciation.
Hahahaha yeah sure because the Indonesian accent (as all the south east Asian accents) isn't easy to identify, you guys speak weird and you sound weird speaking other languages
Well, I'm Spanish native but I'm speak English but I'm heard that indonesian language is easy for Spanish speaker for word very interesting and peculiar
My sweet Christina always looking gorgeous whenever she comes to set in Worlds Friend. 🇫🇷❤️🇺🇸 For us French it's quiet easy to pronunce Spanish 🇪🇦 words. Worlds Friend better find and bring another Latin European Countries, like our neighbor's, Italian speaker 🇮🇹
@@fabiancastano4873 Our French "r" is actually not similar to Spanish. But quite to similar to English. Eitheir our languages are based from Latin "Romance Languages. We're kinda cousins 🇵🇹🇪🇦🇫🇷🇮🇹🇷🇴🇲🇩
The z's would be incorrect for Andrea because she's from Spain and the z or almost th sound is very emphasized, while in latin america we just pronounce it like an s, so for me her pronunciation of arroz is correct.
She was teaching her the spaniard dialect so Andrea would be correct, but I agree and disagree. I also feel it's better for a foreigner to focus on an accent and go with it, so any variations can be considered wrong pronunciation in that instance, but I believe they are not wrong in any way. They just don't fit there.
@@lussor1 Pues no, si tuvieses un mínimo de idea sobre lingüística sabrías que el andaluz es simplemente una evolución del castellano y que, a fin de cuentas, en una lengua lo importante es que un mensaje llegue en el menor tiempo posible.
2:45 Yup, we Puerto Ricans basically gloss over the "z" and "rr" like if they almost don't exist, maybe because we talk a bit fast. "Ibiza" would be "Ibisa". I was feeling it every time Andrea said: "¡Ay Dios mío!" 😂😂
This video was so good. Christina, you were so cute. Your face at 6:32 was the best, I can't explain... it was like funny, cute and adorable at the same time. And, 6:37 was like, EUREKAAA 😂😂😂 and Of course the Rrrr pronunciation at 8:07. I mean, I loved this video. Very good.
@@ismaelcohen828 Eso puede llegar a ser frustrante, intentar que te salga rápido una pronunciación perfecta como nativo es muy difícil, en general las palabras estaban bien dichas
@@hectorsuastegui5191 Tienes razón. Hablo español e inglés. Y ha veces no entiendo hablantes nativos de estos idiomas dependiendo en el acento y el dialecto. Normalmente no entiendo cuando los escoceses hablan inglés aunque es mi primera lengua. También me confundo a veces escuchando a muchos de los Dominicanos hablar el español. Creo que omiten muchas sílabas o quizás hablan un español criollo.
@@emmanuelortega9110 wait, isn't Hindi not used in all of India, since it has different languages in each provinces right? Like how in the region west of Bangladesh speak Bengal as an official language, or how in the south they speak Tamil as an official language, That would make only the provinces Within New Delhi speak Hindi, no?, I would like to know please.
Spanish from Spain is the only one that pronounces "z" like that... Christina probably mostly heard Mexican Spanish in the states (especially in the south). And the "z" sound is more similar to "s" or even how English speakers would say the "z" sound... It was definitely an adjustment for me when I moved to Spain, learning the difference. And now back in the states, Mexicans I speak with in Spanish get confused by my pronunciation sometimes. Because I essentially learned Spain Spanish, haha... Anyway... It's cool seeing Spain Spanish get represented in this channel! And Andrea seems fun, haha.
Chrstina actually has a great pronunciation, if she decides to learn spanish she can fool anyone in just a month by learning few sentences. She is using spanish accent but the R and the Z she used is quite well compared with other spanish accents she pronunced ARROZ terrific just like in my community, Im impressed.
Hahaha Andrea is a hoot! Everybody else always feels bad about hitting Christina, but she's like "come on! give her some real hard stuff already!!". haha
You did great, she was so hard on you for no reason, maybe she was taught the same back in the days. I’m a language teacher myself and all I can say is that you were doing just great! ✌🏼👍🏼😬 Hablo español, english and français as well. Nice video!
Christina lo hace genial para ser su primera vez! Yo estaba muy impresionada y jamás enseñaría a alguien así, pienso como vosotros. Era solo un juego en el que tenía que ser muy dura con ella, demasiado! Pero es todo desde el cariño 🥰
I teach languages too. If you are too harsh with a beginner, it will likely lower his or her confidence and discourage any desire for further learning.
Ah, the infamous double R that makes all the difference in Spanish. Perro: Dog | Pero: But Carro: Car | Caro: Expensive Corro: I run | Coro: Chorus Cerro: Hill/Mountain | Cero: Zero....
Andrea was such a good teacher explaining the correct pronunciations! I definitely learned a lot in this video! :) -Christina 🇺🇸
That's okay, Christina. We all make mistakes. You did the best you could to pronunce those Spanish 🇪🇦 words.
For a Native American/English speaker such yourself. It might be quite difficult.
You'll get the hang of it nxt time.

I loved the video and especially how you weren't afraid of try to speak no matter what language 👍😉
Wish I were there :D
Latin America never pronounces the Z or the soft C as a TH. It’s all S over here

To me, as a Spanish speaker it's so funny to see how people who don't speak Spanish pronounce the "rr" sound XD
Luego entendés porque se suele “ridiculizar” el inglés con ese sonido suave de la r jajaja.
Same as a Finnish native speaker. Especially English people can’t pronlunce it well 😂
Imagínate aún gringo diciendo Ñandú xD
To me it's funny, we have 2 r sounds but foreigners often just try to use the rr or rolled r everywhere.
Most Puerto Ricans don’t pronounce the “rr” sound either it’s more of a dragged sound

Although I am a Russian speaker, it was not difficult for me to pronounce most of these words. Some of them are even pronounced the same way as in Spanish. Unless the accents in the words can be different. For example, Ibiza.
We also have solid "r" sounds and a "Tz" sound.
But with the word "refrigerador" it was a little complicated. In Russian, the pronunciation of this word is something between English and Spanish pronunciation.
I was able to read "Vehiculo" only because I know that in Spanish the letter "H" is mostly unreadable.
Don't mind my bragging, in any case, I wouldn't have survived in Spain because of my speech impediment. I can't pronounce the "R" sound properly in Russian (and Spanish, probably)
P.s. Chiquillo is an absolute champion. Forget that I was talking about the similarity with the Russian pronunciation))
I also find Russian pronunciation not hard since my native language is Spanish. Russian to me (especially the one from Moskva) sounds very similar to Brazilian Portuguese when I hear from the distance.
@@geosophik9369 Yes, I have heard several times that Portuguese is similar to Russian for non-Russian speakers.
To tell the truth, even Andrea's pronunciation reminded me of something Russian accent. Probably because of similar sounds in languages.
What is this, at the end "))" ??? I've noticed most Russian uses that.
@@Askhad96 This is a smiley face :) . For some reason, it so happened that we just denote it with parentheses ")". The more parentheses, the more you smile or laugh. )) It's already a reflex to put them in some sentences. We also often replace "lol" and so on with them. Keep track of the number of parentheses)))))
it wasn't difficult for me as well I'm from the Philippines HAHAHA
Idea/ιδέα is a Hellenic word and the Spanish pronunciation was 100% like we are saying it!
@@elvisionario9466 we have very similar sounds like
θ = th as in thanks
δ = th as in the
χ = ch as in Loch
The L and R are very close.
Our words have similar structure.
Consonant - vowel - consonant - vowel
When in other European languages you see many consonants together like sch or ght and they have crazy pronunciation for us, because our languages are phonetic.
Each letter makes one sound, they don’t have multiple possible pronunciations depending on the word.
Spanish has 70% latin roots, 15% greek roots (imported through latin), 7% arabic roots, 5% gothic (old germanic) roots and 3% other european loans (mainly french and italian).
@@BlackHoleSpain Spanish adopted some Hellenic words without changing the pronunciation!
For example:
Φιλοσοφία / Filosofía became Philosophy in English but in Spanish they pronouncing it exactly like we do in Hellenic!
Istoría - History
Fantasía - fantasy …etc
I was hoping to see "sistema de entretenimiento" but that might have made her headless from the hammer. 🤣
I'm in love to andrea 💕
Español es como el inglés británico y el americano, tiene sus variantes según cada país
y como la mayoria de los languages que se hablan atravez de diferentes paises, like how German is different in Austria or Switzerland
Andrea, la próxima vez ponle el trabalenguas de la R, ya no se volverá a confundir:
"Erre con erre, guitarra; erre con erre, carril: rápido ruedan/corren los carros, detrás del ferrocarril".
¡¡¡Una idea genial!!!
4:12 is so funny lmao
Chiristina. 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🤯🤯🤯😵😵😵😵😂😂😂😂😂😂
its crazy how i can pronounce the words almost perfectly. i didnt know my languages had the same r's and all that
Son tan tiernos los angloparlantes al pronunciar español. Jaja.
English speakers are so cute when pronouncing Spanish. Haha.
So happy to watch it. And make me feel proud to be Indonesian. Because, I have no trouble trying to pronounce a foreign language word..and our tongue are very flexible and adaptable to foreign languages. In terms of pronunciation.
Hahahaha yeah sure because the Indonesian accent (as all the south east Asian accents) isn't easy to identify, you guys speak weird and you sound weird speaking other languages
@@sisuentrenadoh4589 meh..it does not matter.
Well, I'm Spanish native but I'm speak English but I'm heard that indonesian language is easy for Spanish speaker for word very interesting and peculiar
@@megamanzero7262 yeah. Unique. The "Rrrrr", very easy for us (ASEAN, Spain, and other countries with the Rrrrr)
Love this video. You combined two super nice, smart ladies with a very fun character and the plastic hammer :-) Really enjoyed it.
Please bring back the awesome trio.. Christina-Lauren-Grace. They are soo fun together!!
My sweet Christina always looking gorgeous whenever she comes to set in Worlds Friend.
🇫🇷❤️🇺🇸
For us French it's quiet easy to pronunce Spanish 🇪🇦 words.
Worlds Friend better find and bring another Latin European Countries, like our neighbor's, Italian speaker 🇮🇹
Yeeee....
The "R" so similar!
@@notfound9816 is it? For Spanish people, the French “R” is not that easy to pronounce.
@@notfound9816 the french“R” is not similar than spanish
@@fabiancastano4873 Our French "r" is actually not similar to Spanish. But quite to similar to English.
Eitheir our languages are based from Latin "Romance Languages. We're kinda cousins
🇵🇹🇪🇦🇫🇷🇮🇹🇷🇴🇲🇩
She did very good actually
Massive tip for non spanish speakers:
The vowels pronunciation is always SIMPLY.
a e i o u
The z's would be incorrect for Andrea because she's from Spain and the z or almost th sound is very emphasized, while in latin america we just pronounce it like an s, so for me her pronunciation of arroz is correct.
She was teaching her the spaniard dialect so Andrea would be correct, but I agree and disagree. I also feel it's better for a foreigner to focus on an accent and go with it, so any variations can be considered wrong pronunciation in that instance, but I believe they are not wrong in any way. They just don't fit there.
También en Andalucía diríamos 'Arros' o 'Arroh'. Pero ella está tratando de enseñarle el español más estándar de España.
@@juangarrido7430 en andaluz todo se dice mal
@@lussor1 Pues no, si tuvieses un mínimo de idea sobre lingüística sabrías que el andaluz es simplemente una evolución del castellano y que, a fin de cuentas, en una lengua lo importante es que un mensaje llegue en el menor tiempo posible.
2:45 Yup, we Puerto Ricans basically gloss over the "z" and "rr" like if they almost don't exist, maybe because we talk a bit fast. "Ibiza" would be "Ibisa". I was feeling it every time Andrea said: "¡Ay Dios mío!" 😂😂
Andrea is a stunningly beautiful girl...
The Nordic girl is better, they're also superior
@@percymiller8775 loll🤡
This is my favorite video of the channel
These two are funny together! Great vibe.
More Spanish!!
The way I was taught to remember to do the trill (tongue roll) was to do a “d” and roll it.
It is amazing that you have to pronounce refrigerator In a castilian unnecessary lisp based pronunciation of an english/ American word . Spanglish .
This video was so good. Christina, you were so cute. Your face at 6:32 was the best, I can't explain... it was like funny, cute and adorable at the same time. And, 6:37 was like, EUREKAAA 😂😂😂 and Of course the Rrrr pronunciation at 8:07. I mean, I loved this video. Very good.
The "we were doing zazezizozu" makes my day 🤣
you should do one with Andrea trying to pronounce English words with US accent 🤭
@@alecblack2637 Andrea has an accent, still sounds are not as clear as in Spanish so that video would not work well
As a Central American Spanish speaker, seeing Andrea correct her on the z sound to a “th” killed me.
Acuerdo! That "th" sounds like a speech impediment to me as well.
In Spain the "Z" = in english "TH"
CoraZon = THank
Yes
Ñ
Arroz was pronounced correctly for mexican spanish like Andrea said hahaha
Exacto la chica aveces la golpeo y no entendí si porque ella dijo bien varias palabras
@Gonzalo Gonzalo For me too and spanish is my native language hahaha
@@ismaelcohen828 Eso puede llegar a ser frustrante, intentar que te salga rápido una pronunciación perfecta como nativo es muy difícil, en general las palabras estaban bien dichas
@@hectorsuastegui5191 Tienes razón. Hablo español e inglés. Y ha veces no entiendo hablantes nativos de estos idiomas dependiendo en el acento y el dialecto. Normalmente no entiendo cuando los escoceses hablan inglés aunque es mi primera lengua. También me confundo a veces escuchando a muchos de los Dominicanos hablar el español. Creo que omiten muchas sílabas o quizás hablan un español criollo.
@@hectorsuastegui5191 en España, generalmente, la z no se pronuncia como una s. Por eso le dijo que en otros acentos hubiera estado “bien”.
"What are the characteristics of Spanish"
Me : well...it's pretty similar to portuguese and is the 2° most spoken language in the world
It's the 4th actually, first is English, then Mandarin Chinese, then Hindi, and then Spanish :)
@@emmanuelortega9110 "As a language speakers and native language"
As French 🇫🇷. Hate to say that. I'm really disappointed that speaking Spanish🇪🇦 is indeed the 2nd most spoken Language
@@emmanuelortega9110 wait, isn't Hindi not used in all of India, since it has different languages in each provinces right? Like how in the region west of Bangladesh speak Bengal as an official language, or how in the south they speak Tamil as an official language, That would make only the provinces Within New Delhi speak Hindi, no?, I would like to know please.
The French guy, why would you be disappointed?
Oml when she said idea in the beginning I was half asleep and thought she was speaking Korean😂
Spanish from Spain is the only one that pronounces "z" like that... Christina probably mostly heard Mexican Spanish in the states (especially in the south). And the "z" sound is more similar to "s" or even how English speakers would say the "z" sound... It was definitely an adjustment for me when I moved to Spain, learning the difference. And now back in the states, Mexicans I speak with in Spanish get confused by my pronunciation sometimes. Because I essentially learned Spain Spanish, haha... Anyway... It's cool seeing Spain Spanish get represented in this channel! And Andrea seems fun, haha.
Moreover not everyone in Spain say the "z", I wouldn't say "zapato" but "sapato" so yeah the z is tricky
that is not true Spanish speaker from some part of latin american pronunce the Z and C like that to
@@manubutcherreality6474 which country??
@@BeaFullbuster, those that do not are very few and are all in the south of Spain, in Andalusia (and in the Canary Islands)
I got every single one. I’m in Spanish 3 rn but still
well done Wesley 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘
Que arte y que guapa Andrea jeje
I lived in Argentina, and even in Argentina, many citizens cannot pronounce the rr. But their alternative still sounds GRAND -
Chrstina actually has a great pronunciation, if she decides to learn spanish she can fool anyone in just a month by learning few sentences. She is using spanish accent but the R and the Z she used is quite well compared with other spanish accents she pronunced ARROZ terrific just like in my community, Im impressed.
I felt some of the words were spot on when hearing them, but she is being judged by a Spaniard, as opposed to someone from Mexico or Peru.
Hahaha Andrea is a hoot! Everybody else always feels bad about hitting Christina, but she's like "come on! give her some real hard stuff already!!". haha
You did great, she was so hard on you for no reason, maybe she was taught the same back in the days. I’m a language teacher myself and all I can say is that you were doing just great! ✌🏼👍🏼😬 Hablo español, english and français as well. Nice video!
No pasa nada jajaja, no todos tienen el don de enseñar, y este es un vídeo de entretenimiento.
Christina lo hace genial para ser su primera vez! Yo estaba muy impresionada y jamás enseñaría a alguien así, pienso como vosotros. Era solo un juego en el que tenía que ser muy dura con ella, demasiado! Pero es todo desde el cariño 🥰
I teach languages too. If you are too harsh with a beginner, it will likely lower his or her confidence and discourage any desire for further learning.
Oh wow my Indonesian accent is fit in perfectly!!!
Andrea, Tu tienes perfecta into/pronun/nacion/ciacion, vale la pena oirte
y naturalmente verte.
You too,Cristina!

I'm from Spain. This is hilarious

You guys should invite someone from Brasil to show the similarities between Portuguese and Spanish(Mexican can be a very good option).
Yep, Portugese. Another Latin European Country as well which is Italy 🇮🇹
Portuguese from Portugal (the real one) would be more appropriate 😉

Spanish pronunciation is EASY. I worked in a Spanish restaurant for a few years and picked it all up.
