Hey Aztec woman. Why don't you learn your own language. You clearly aren't Spanish....(look at your Asiatic eyes my love, you look Chinese, aztec or philipino )...so why are you stealing European culture?? Have you ever been to Spain, just out of interest. Teach your own Aztec language.
@no name I would have a "no name" too if I was going to say something so judgemental and prejudice as what you have said. You really show your ignorance of history. Name calling is for those who can't think of anything better to say. I bet you can't speak any other language and those who can and do are superior in intelligence. I speak both English and Spanish and live presently in Mexico but have travelled and to at least 13 Spanish speaking countries and taken lessons in most of them. Don't be such as idiot just because you are anonymous online. You would never say any of what you said if you met the woman and particularly if I was standing next to her. Bye bye, cobarde. ¿Que piensa? @Spring Spanish - Learn Spanish with Chunks
@@noname-yt7uf vno pos.
Este güey no sabe que en Yucatan la Raza tienes rastros de Asia.
@@noname-yt7uf yeah she's clearly not Spanish, she's Mexican. Stealing European culture? Spain literally colonized Mexico.
Muchas gracias por eso. I am trying so hard to learn spanish. Not easy when you're a 66 year old gringo.
Keep at it
Si, tú puedes! Yes , you can ! Just stick with it, practice face to face with native speakers from multiple Spanish speaking countries as often as you can, Spanish is slightly different in every language, with each of the roughly 19 Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries in the world are made up of Hispanic ppl but each country adding their own slang and general flair with influence of indigenous languages of Aztecas and Mayans and Garifuna , and former African enslaved people that make up population of Haiti but also many other countries, it's fun to notice the faster , some say angrier Spanish of a Cubano, then the more laid back Spanish of Mexico to the proper, old school Spanish of Spain to Honduras where Spanish words lengthen sometimes dramatically with " la tienda" the store in regular Spanish turning into three times more syllables with indigenous languages influence, I have family still in Honduras and I don't even try with some words, I stick with basic Spanish, then you have Portuguese in Brazil with Angolan influence and tribes from the jungles influence on the slang, I have family that I'm related to by marriage there and hearing the Spanish sounds of Portuguese with the tonal changes from a tribe once tucked deep into rainforest now still only occasionally contacted in parts who call themselves The people of the Jaguar, at least one elder did as he sat by fire allowing recording of his people's creation story to be filmed. He laughed hard and loud sometimes randomly but aside from that, still his tribes language used Portuguese words which are basically - same as Spanish, - just pronounced slightly different than Spanish like ondé instead of Spanish dondé, both meaning 'where' as you increase the recipe of Spanish into more and more Portuguese you end up being asked why you are speaking Spanish but sounding angry with a mouth full of Carmel, ( this made me laugh so hard when a comedian first pointed it out when asking, because he is spot on, Spanish spoken angry with a mouth full of Carmel equals Portuguese almost literally . Like really really literally.) Be prepared to mess up and make mistakes , just ask questions and learn the basic grammar some Americans I find have a hard time remembering to put the adjective after noun, my old car = me coche viejo and not my brothers car but instead El coche de me hermano. Meaning the car of my brother. Learn slang words, some are a hoot, there is a Puerto Rican man that says ' con mis Gatos activou' when he's excited which literally translates to " with my cats activated" but slang for with my homies ready to go! Like with excitement either for a bad deed like a fight or a good thing like a party. But honestly also, as a Hispanic Native girl living in America currently, (I don't consider myself fluent in Spanish or really in any of my 3 languages) my life with my Hispanic side of family let's me happily verify, this lady is honestly so completely honest and spot on, like with taquitos and the tortilla, we use it every meal even in place of fork we use piece of tortilla. The modesty thing and cutting in line is hilariously on point and I love she tells these little things to ppl, I am in America but yesterday I was chastised by a older person asking me if I was cold with ' that tone' inside a carneceria and all because the romper jumpsuit I was wearing was spaghetti straps and part backless, ohhh no I showed arms and a lil of my bare back lol! It was all in good humor though ..... At least I took it that way 🤔😆🧐
I’m a 66 year old gringo too. But I learned Spanish when I was 19. I learned Spanish in El Salvador and spoke Spanish with a Salvadoran accent. So one time I apparently fooled an English as a second language class, that my Salvadoran wife was attending, into believing I had been raised in El Salvador because I spoke Spanish with a Salvadoran accent.
this is wholesome i hope you learn it and have a good life
esssso weyyyy ooooraleee weyyy
instead of using ' Adios, Hasta luego or Bye ' you can just say ' Al rato ' or ' nos vemos '; to agree with someone you can also say ' simon ' (very informal) or ' claro '; and the word ' comper ' is only used with someone you're familiar with, not to be used with someone you dont know or older people.
Besides my gringo skin and gringo Spanish, they’ll never expect Im American.
Gringo skin doesnt exist ❤
México is extremely diverse :)
You ever seen Canelo Alvarez? 😂 Say you’re a castizo and from Jalisco
I definitely could of used someone like you for a tour guide when I was Mexico city a few weeks ago.. my Spanish is so horrible 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
First off, I want to say thank you to Spring Spanish for all your videos as they are helping me a lot and I really enjoy all of your content :) I'm planning to move to Mexico at the end of the year which is really exciting as I have a lot of love for the country as it has so much to offer me. I'm from New Zealand and have been traveling for 7 years now! I cant escape being a foreigner hahahaha Even in the UK people know from sight I'm not from around here and when I talk its worse as kiwis speak English with there "E" and "I" back to front to the rest of the western world so I learnt fast not to use the world "Deck" in public and just say words like "Balcony" and try avoid the number "six" when possible lol For my Spanish though its been helpful and because I got brought up speaking a little Maori it makes it easy to role the letter "R" fluently. I might always be a "Gringo" to the rest of the world but with your help I'm Hoping to be the best Mexican I can be anyways! Thanks again to your whole team! I really appreciate all your time put into you channel :)
Oh and I'm planning to move to New Zealand!!! Well not any time soon but man tu país es espectacular!! Me encantaría conocerlo! Thank you for watching and for your feedback Kaine :D
Thanks, very helpful info.
¡Esto es uno de mis videos favoritos tuyos! Muchísimas gracias Paulísima.
This is really good!
Enjoyable and informative-very useful info!!!
Este video es uno de mis favoritos. ¡Bravísima, Paulísima!
Thanks for providing these customs and real life information.
7:37 Lo más lindo gesto de Paulísima. “That’s right!” 🥰
Me encantan todos estos tips! Soy Boricua viviendo en CDMX y si ayudarán un montón. Gracias 🙏🏼
As an Arab Mexican .... dinner at home we hardly used forks.... always put our food in a tortilla or pita bread LOL. We ate with our fingers and that is the truth.
Bien hecho. Gracias 🙏
This was great, thank you
Outstanding insight and content
Gracias Tim :D
Thank you
Me encantan tus videos. Wish I had these lessons many years ago as they have so much practical value. You are so enthusiastic, a trait of all great teachers.
Glad you like them!
No soy mexicano pero puedo hablar español ok. La gente dije gringo habla español muy bueno. Vivo en California pero viví en argentina por un poco meses. Y mi ex novia es colombiano. Hablamos español solamente en ella la casa. Yo sé, mi español necesita ayuda.
Thankyou🌸🙏🌸
Love it!
Certainly do look forward to these on Fridays. The authentic and vibrant approach is awesome and helpful.
Muchas gracias Taylor! :D
First off she should learn her own language.....aztecas are not Spaniards. Spaniards are white Europeans. Calling your self latin when many (not all, shout out Canelo Alverez) of you are brown skinned and have Asiatic/native American features. #CUPTURALAPROPRIATION.
@@noname-yt7uf Do you think she doesn't have Spanish blood in her at all? What if she's not 100% Aztec?
@@noname-yt7uf And she's not appropriating anything. She's living the culture she was born into. I don't need to remind you that culture changes over time.
Thanks!
😢❤❤ thank you so much!!! It means a lot to me 😊😊😊
Saved to my favorites!!!
!Eres muy divertiente!
Very good 👍
what a fun theme for a video.
I love how she speak Spanish in her videos 🥰
Hola Paulísima. Yo soy gringo del estado de Texas, y he pasado mucho tiempo en México. Ayer descubrí su canal Spring Spanish, y anoche pasé muchas horas mirando los videos. Sé que voy a pasar muchas más mirándolos! Esta mañana miré este episodio, y me sorprendió la idea de que los mexicanos dan más importancia a estar cómodos que al estilo. Siendo gringo, he notado que las mexicanas se visten con mucho más estilo que las gringas. Hoy en día las gringas andan en la calle vestidas en sweat pants, o aún en pijamas, o en jeans rotos, y con zapatos tenis. Y he visto a muchísimas mexicanas en faldas bonitas, o vestidos bonitos, y en tacones altos. Sé que no todas se visten así todos los días, pero se nota que más mexicanas se visten con estilo que las gringas. Lástima!
En serio?! Oh yo casi siempre ando en vestido :D
Estoy de acuerdo. Sí, es horrible acá en EEUU. Jajajaja
excelente
Loving St. Elias 's in Alllll the countries of humanity..
From there ( with St. Paul) with Wisdom from Above and faith.. we can get it done ✔️ !!
I am learning alot
Very good👏👏👏👏👍
Your English is very good! I enjoy these videos.
A tip for spelling: "queueing" is "formandose". I think it's the English word that has the most vowels in an unbroken series. "Queue" means to line up, so queueing is the gerund form. :) A "cue" is a different thing. In acting, a cue is a signal for an entrance into an action or conversation.
And, Paulisima, when you're talking about lining up with Americans, I think the entirety of us have dropped "queueing" from our speech. We're *so* informal, we just say, "When I / she / he / was waiting in line..." or "When you / they were waiting in line..." Hahaha. It's such a strange yet beautiful word though! The British and all of her former colonies still use it, can anyone confirm?
@@roshandacummings3423 As a native American, i actually prefer the word queuing' to simply say standing in line! 1 word replaces 3! Efficient!
I am SOOOO happy I found your channel awhile ago! You make learning so much fun and one day I hope I make make at least a few Mexicans in my ciudad o Puebla wonder if I am also Mexican. Ji ji ji! 😄😉
The place you're going to hear "Se cuelan" the most is the line in Tijuana to cross the border. Guaranteed. I'm guessing Juarez has a similar issue.
Maestra, pues tengo con el nopal en la frente y estoy puerto. Hablo español como "pocho." Aye Dios mío! Te watcho- El Pocho.
Jajaja me encantó
Buenas is used the same here in Nicaragua.
You are a genius
I moved to Mexico 6 years ago and married the most amazing and gorgeous woman, and she laughs all the time when I Mimic them, with joke then taghhhh, with the tongue out. 🤣🤣🤣🇲🇽🇺🇸🇲🇽 also I tend to say, nos vemos. And I only say Comper.
Mexicans look so much different from one another from region to region and they have different lifestyles, diets etc from region to region as well. This is common in other countries as well like in Italy and Germany for example.
Great video. Glad I stumbled upon it. BTW...You are gorgeous! I just obtained my doble nacionalidad and I need this information. Perfect.
How did I get here? Looks interesting. I may just stay and watch and learn. 😊
My mom and her family were all born and raised in Mexico. There is a resturant called Señors Tequilas and the mascot is skeleton mariachi playing a guitar. I always say that my abuelo was the original Señor Tequilla because in the only picture I have of him, he is wearing a Sombrero and playing a guitar in his mariachi banda. My abuelo lived 20 miles away from Tequila. Anyways because I am half Mexican, I always feel like a foreigner when I visit my family. But when I look at that picture, I know my true identity. But I do love my tacos and my family's homemade tortillas. For my abuelitas afterlife celebration we had a taco truck too.
9:20 Guau, estas en buena forma! Yo tambien habria dicho algo, solo que mas agradecido ;)
I was using buenas at night! Aye yi Yi! 😯
Excelente!!!!!! :D
FELISIDADES LAS MAESTRAS🇲🇽DE MEXICO LEJUAGE ESPAÑOL O CASTELLANO MEXICANA🇲🇽 O DE SI MEXICAN🇲🇽 ESPANI SOY MEXICANO O MEXICANA 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 Y 🇺🇲 .
Awesome video ❤
I'm going to live in Mexico for 2 xears soon 🤣😂🤣
Más ejemplos: ¿Cuánto es lo menos? (Para regatear).
Gestos: un momento, codo, ojo, chupar, dinero, pedir un aventón, etcétera.
Y los coros: mucha ropa o beso, beso...
When you said "I like tacos" instant south park flashback.
In Texas it's not considered a felony to put your flag of your country or your state on your vehicle or wear it. And I think this culture has been adopted by the Mexican culture because I see a lot of trucks with Mexican flags in the window I see a lot of people with Mexican flags on cakes and shirts and bandanas. You can find about as much Mexican flags as Texas flags or American flags while you're in Texas. Often places in Texas fly all three flags.
This is marvelous because it actually *is* federally illegal to wear the flag on any item of clothing but we're Americans and absolutely hate having a single soul tell us what to do.
@@roshandacummings3423 Its true, we do!
Caliente Paulisima
I love Latin America especially Mexico is my favorite Latin American country and Puerto Rico both
3:24 Okey, algo que he hecho correctamente toda mi vida. Supongo que soy más natural con la comida que con las palabras.
Cool
My mom is very concervative.. She used to hate the mother of my kids wearing little shorts and spaghetti straps...
I think,the BEST way to learn Spanish,is to follow you.Greetings from Germany 💖 DIOSA 💖🙏💖
Philippines and Spanish are also same like basic words we use hehehe i hope i learn more Español words
I think the old lady was jealous! I love these videos!
Here are some other tips:
Eat pizza with a knife and fork
When ordering tacos from a street taco vendor say "Agarrame"
When one of those marvelous street vendors comes by to offer you yet another bracelet, just put your forearm in front of you with your fingers closed together, fully extended and back of hand facing said vendor. This means "No thank you"
If you don't mind getting slapped, wait for a pretty senorita to walk by and say in a sing songy chilango accent, "Vamos a matar al oso despiadadamente a punaladas, mi reina!"
I was absolutely not expecting tips on how to eat a taco 😂This is fantastic. I can't wait to invite my Mexican friend over for dinner 🌮 🇲🇽
Thats racist
No pero soy de tres naciones: mexico, irlanda y estados unidos. tengo tres pasaportes
Omg! I used to wear shorts everyday in cdmx and my neighbors would ask if I couldn’t afford the rest of the pants 😂

Yo, estadounidense mexicana: ¡ya soy mexicana, amor!
Never tolerate somebody that is going to go against the norms of society. Because those norms hold society together. I totally agree.
Some societal norms are actively harmful to certain people, like homophobia for example. You need to stay away from people until you can learn to play nice with others.
Me da pilon may work in a small shop, but in a Chedraui?
mmmmm Maybe in the ham- cold meats section hehehe! :D
I love mexico
I feel as if I am completely missing out on the taco! I live in the Yucatàn (haha, I know, I know, this state is barely considered Mexican at all!) and tortas outnumber the taco 10:1!
Me gustaría visitar México y conocer el país pero no me gustan los tacos 🤪 mis consejos para los extranjeros incluyen caminar lento y comer lento.
Camina como te sientas bien y come lo que te agrades sea rápido o lento, no lo vemos como un problema 😊
Thanks now i can camouflage myself as a mexican untill i start to talk though
I'm very white, so I'll probably need to wear a hat, glasses, and long sleeves not too stand out.
Brilliant I love it written in Spanish above and English below and you are one beautiful Bonita senorithe I'm falling in love with your helpful teaching .. How do I get my phone to text in Spanish? That's the next technology advand not translator I don't know if that would work too well?...
Wearing a gigantic sombrero while singing Vicente Fernandez songs, is REALLY Mexican.
i love how much mexicans love tacos
👍👍
:D
Modesty means nothing in Morelia lol😅 Women are half naked here. Feels like in Marseille France 🤫🤭
La mejor parte fue hacer el taquito😋, the best part was making the taco ✨
Lo mejor de mi trabajo es que puedo comer taquitos :D
El pilón?!
Of course you get extra if you smile. You're a extra cute *lady* That's not always the case for gentlemen. Worth a shot though... thanks for the tip.
Big smiles siempre ayudan! :D
I don´t think so... I have been in Mexiko for more than 10 years and married to a Mexican and still, mexican people can tell, as soon as I open my mouth, that I am not a Mexican. By the way, Spanish is also my native language.
Also eating by tearing pieces of tortilla and scooping food with it.
How do you eat a tamale?
I wonder why do you speak English? I think it'd be better if you spoke only Spanish? It's confusing when you mix both language..
Also, your content seems to be more for advanced learners, who's already supposed to understand a lot 😌
Cool video, btw! °^°
Yo necesito tacos pronto.
Paulisima, where did you learn English? Did you spend time in the United States?
Hllo! I took English lessons at public school, mmm about 3 hours per week, for 3 years. Then, at 14 I took private lessons, for a year (3 times a week, 1.5 hours each lesson, small group setting). Many years after that, I did my Masters in English, in Malaysia!!! But nope, I've never lived in the US... yet
That is amazing. I would have bet you spent a number of years here. Your story means there might be hope for me in learning Spanish.
Abla melayu? 😀
🙂I'm Sorry Paulisima, I'm going to have to side with the older ladies you encountered in your neighborhood while shopping. 🙂
Pochos and Mexican Natinonals act differently and carry themselves differently. They're usually easy to spot.
😮😮😮🇲🇽
I've never heard of buenas. Must be a Mexican Yankee term. Lol aka borderr state's. I'm still watching out of curiosity
The accent 😅
I've been mistaken for a Mexican. That's why I want to talk like one.
Its better for foreigners not to pretend theyre mexican. Its not cool. While visiting our country be yourself yet be respectful
Did Drake Campana fail to blend in?
Could you also use "me das" instead of me da? That's something i was told you could say.
When a mexican cuts the line I say . No te occupie
Just say guey all the time - presto!
*me watching this video as part Mexican who knows only a little spanish*
You wanna see Mexicans cutting in Line, go to Stand in Line to cross the Border in Tijuana :D I think your Phrase might not work there, I have tried "Hey! Cabesa de Caca!" that sometimes works :D
