Before my trip to Spain, I prepared months before studying Spanish the best that I could.

agree, but as a Spaniard we have to start speaking in English too to know more 'bout the language and make more easy to foreigners to understand that we also speak English..
As an English person who don’t speak any other languages, It’s respectful and necessary for your safety to at least try learn the language of the country your visiting
Even when you go to Spain, you also have to know if people speak co-official languages like Catalan or Euskera. There's a lot of international students that come to Barcelona knowing spanish, but specially in public schools and universities, the most common language is catalan. So i really recomend people get informed and know about our languages.
I'm completely fluent in English and French but being a native Spanish speaker I refuse to speak foreign languages even to tourists. If I see that someone is really in need of help I'll switch to english, french or at least try to understand them. But I think that if you visit a country, you must know the basics. I find it really offensive to assume that everyone should speak english just because the US won the cold war and, as a result, we are all forced to learn english due to their cultural imperialism.
Refusing to speak to someone in another language when you know it just makes you look like a jerk. Sure, people should make an effort to speak the language of a place, but it’s not practical to expect everyone to know the language if they’re just visiting. There are over 6,000 languages. Have you visited other places where you didn’t know the language? You can’t know every language that exists, so it’s nice when someone in another place knows a language you know. Of course, not everyone should have to speak English, but a lingua franca isn’t a bad thing, and they’ve always existed at some point in history. I also get wanting to preserve one’s own language in their home country, but it also just seems irrational to think that if most people learn a lingua franca (in this case English) that everyone is going to stop speaking their native tongue. That only happens in colonial context - like Spain did to indigenous peoples of the americas, which means Spanish is also an imperialist language. In Germany practically every one of the age of 40 and under speak fluent English, but everyone still speaks German.
@JoseDanielFSX I’m a native English speaker who speaks Spanish at a very high level. I wouldn’t call myself completely fluent but I can communicate very easily in Spanish when in Spanish speaking countries. You might want to check your history. The Spanish Empire wiped out thousands of native languages in what is now known today as Latin America. Each region and country of Latin America has adapted their own dialect of Spanish over the centuries but you should remember that the Spanish utterly destroyed native languages worldwide.
@@PhotosoflifeNative languages are still spoken in Latin America by millions of people. Spanish colonialism can’t be compared to English and French colonialism, those were predatory empires.
@@Andrew-qb1rcNative languages in Latin America are still spoken by millions of people. Now let’s look at English colonialism, they were worse and crueler than Spanish colonialism ever was. Look up Spanish black legend.
Speaking Spanish is real important to learn while visiting traveling or moving to Spain 🇪🇸. Spanish spoken in Spain is different from the Spanish spoken in the Americas. Mostly Latin Americans from South America enjoy traveling to the only country in Europe where Spanish is spoken by the majority of people
Yes it's ironic how I heard a british ccomplain about moslims living in a bubble in their country so they fleed to Spain, only to apply the same poor integration behavior themselves lol
You can't expect the institutions to do your paperwork in a language that is not the official language of the country... Neither in Spain, nor in Japan lmao It's also very presumptuous to go to another country with a widely spoken language like Spanish and expect everyone to speak English to you. What a smart and minimally educated person does is learn the language of the country they are going to live in, and if they come as a tourist, they figure it out. And still, we speak a lot of English.
In Netherlands all professionals speak English, Police, doctors, teachers, any institution. Nowadays paperwork is online and you can choose your language to fill the form in English or Dutch and probably even Spanish too.
If you plan to live in another country long-term and enjoy the benefits it has to offer then you MUST learn its language if only out of respect but also to improve your own experience. Yes, learning a language is hard as an adult but challenge yourself! It’s not impossible & we have more time than money in life so why not?!
It is mandatory if you want to live here. In Spain, It is not mandatory to learn english and probably they will find problems if they need to speak with the admin, police, etc. Probably they will not speak english.
English is not my first language either.. If I would move to another country I would definitely learn the language, but if I'm just visiting for two weeks, I hope people are not insulted that I try to speak English with them. In the Netherlands, it's so different. Sometimes I can't even speak Dutch to the waiter because they don't speak it xD (in Amsterdam). Would love to learn Spanish and French though. I forgot all I learned in high school
@@Mn16Cr45 that is an interesting perspective. It does not seem based in rational thinking. Do you think she would post photos of herself on instagram because she does NOT want people to subscribe and view the photos of herself that she posts? Is that what you think is going on? Do you think she publicly posts photos of herself with the very obvious intent for people go follow her and view her photos but she thinks that the people that follow her are "creepers" because they follow her (which was her 100% entire intent when she set up her IG profile and posted public photos) I think you just enjoy attacking/accusing people publicly to seem like you are on some imagined moral high-horse looking down in judgement of other people. Or perhaps you believe that your perspective on what questions are NOT acceptable on YT but perhaps might be acceptable on twitter or FB or whatever other social platforms you use. Is there a different socially acceptable list of rules for each of them? Did you create this list of rules?
Here is the deal. When you learn Spanish then you can communicate with more than 600 millions people not just in Spain but around the world. That’s sick
If you go to country side then is good to know and speak Spanish because many of them are elders and don’t know nothing about English just from experience also I’m Spanish
y dale con el término "latino", los latinos eran de la región del Laccio, en Italia, y los españoles somos hispanos...y si vienes a España a vivir, te tocará aprender algo de español.. digo yo
If you move to a English country, then you need to know English right? Well want to live in Spain learn Castilian aka Spanish. Its the National language of the country not English.
Eejit...maybe they would only be there for like a few months or so and it is not easy for them to learn a language in a very short time because they are not an alien
In my opinion if you move to a country with their own native language it only stands to reason that you put in the effort to learn their language. You don't need to stop using your own at home but in public I think you should speak the native language, it's just respectful.

I went to Spain without knowing Spanish but I was on a holiday. Yeah at first it was somehow difficult but it wasnt't so bad at end. If you are in Spain on a vacation then I don't think it's a big deal not knowing Spanish.

Want to watch TV, read a newspaper, listen to radio, deal with public offices, your bank, electricity provider, bus drivers, anything that requires Spanish? Then English alone is not going to cut it. Also usually lawyers and accountants catering for the English speakers tend to do a mess pretty much everywhere.

@@veronikab__ You are the one living in Spain right?

The only reason for you to not being able to speak spanish is if you are just for a few weeks.
I can tell you FOR FREE that YOU MUST learn the language of the country you are moving to. I have lived in Portugal and now living in Germany. And what I'm about to tell you applies for Spanish, Spain or any country you choose to live in. Can you live in portugal and germany with zero Portuguese and zero German YES... BUUUUTTT... You will most likely end up hanging out with a lot of expats NOT native Portuguese or German people. And even if you have friends who are German or Portuguese and everyone speaks English.. if you're in a big group, EVENTUALLY everyone starts speaking their native language.. it'll take like an hour.. an hour and a half and before you know it, a large part of the group isn't speaking English anymore. And it's not nice.. And then obviously there's bureaucratic stuff which is NOT IN ENGLISH.. EVER haha.. Not knowing the language can also limit your job opportunities as well in some cases.. IT REALLY HELPS to just learn. And you don't have to be SUPER fluent. Just get to an A2 or B1 level and you can go pretty far. And people really appreciate the effort.
I have colleagues from India who do not speak German even after many years and they survive. Others are very good and they are less isolated in the country. All the iliterates from Somalia or Afghanistan will nerver learn German. It must be terribly difficult for poorly educated people to learn a foreign language.
I live in Amsterdam z Netherlands and most expats speak English and so do the Dutch ppl but if I would move to Spain I would want to have at least a basic knowledge on forehand and try to learn more in daily life.
English is the global language nowadays and almost all Europeans learn it. You can't expect people to learn the language of every single country they visit. Now, if you want to stay longer in a certain place, then of course, you should learn the language.

People move to other countries for many many reasons. My partner lived in Spain for about a year because of his job. When he went there, he knew just how to order beer and thank people in Spanish, nothing else. He communicated with locals by typing in google translate. Everyone had a good time, end of story.
Anyone going to any country that speaks a different language than your home country needs to be required to learn the language of the host country. Otherwise, you're unwelcome to stay.
That's a dumb take and not how the world works lmao. I'm welcoming all tourists, we speak with hands and gestures and share food if we have no other language in common ✌🏻
In business perspective it would boost revenue if restaurants have automatic kiosk with English translations just like Korea or Japan does. There is no need to be nationalistic against tourists. I'm Korean, we are nationalistic people, and we love to hate Chinese or Japanese, but public transportations make announcements in Chinese and Japanese, same for the tourist maps and restaurant kiosks. Small serving for foreign visitors make you earn a lot more money.

I find it really offensive to assume that everyone should speak english just because the US won the cold war and, as a result, we are all forced to learn english due to their cultural imperialism.
Refusing to speak to someone in another language when you know it just makes you look like a jerk. Sure, people should make an effort to speak the language of a place, but it’s not practical to expect everyone to know the language if they’re just visiting. There are over 6,000 languages. Have you visited other places where you didn’t know the language? You can’t know every language that exists, so it’s nice when someone in another place knows a language you know. Of course, not everyone should have to speak English, but a lingua franca isn’t a bad thing, and they’ve always existed at some point in history. I also get wanting to preserve one’s own language in their home country, but it also just seems irrational to think that if most people learn a lingua franca (in this case English) that everyone is going to stop speaking their native tongue. That only happens in colonial context - like Spain did to indigenous peoples of the americas, which means Spanish is also an imperialist language. In Germany practically every one of the age of 40 and under speak fluent English, but everyone still speaks German.
I understand that but the world is changing and in my country we all speak English to Spanish and German tourists so it's a two way street.
@JoseDanielFSX
I’m a native English speaker who speaks Spanish at a very high level. I wouldn’t call myself completely fluent but I can communicate very easily in Spanish when in Spanish speaking countries. You might want to check your history. The Spanish Empire wiped out thousands of native languages in what is now known today as Latin America. Each region and country of Latin America has adapted their own dialect of Spanish over the centuries but you should remember that the Spanish utterly destroyed native languages worldwide.
@@PhotosoflifeNative languages are still spoken in Latin America by millions of people. Spanish colonialism can’t be compared to English and French colonialism, those were predatory empires.
@@Andrew-qb1rcNative languages in Latin America are still spoken by millions of people. Now let’s look at English colonialism, they were worse and crueler than Spanish colonialism ever was. Look up Spanish black legend.
Speaking Spanish is real important to learn while visiting traveling or moving to Spain 🇪🇸. Spanish spoken in Spain is different from the Spanish spoken in the Americas. Mostly Latin Americans from South America enjoy traveling to the only country in Europe where Spanish is spoken by the majority of people
Me parece increíble querer vivir en un lugar con idioma ajeno que no controlas.
😂😂😂
Ohhh the english bubble.
Show some respect and at least TRY
Entiendo, pero creo que las chicas eran alemanas o holandesas.
You have never heard of immigrants? When they first come they dont yet know the language!
@@jsantiago.b No una alemana y una francesa
Yes it's ironic how I heard a british ccomplain about moslims living in a bubble in their country so they fleed to Spain,
only to apply the same poor integration behavior themselves lol
You can't expect the institutions to do your paperwork in a language that is not the official language of the country... Neither in Spain, nor in Japan lmao It's also very presumptuous to go to another country with a widely spoken language like Spanish and expect everyone to speak English to you. What a smart and minimally educated person does is learn the language of the country they are going to live in, and if they come as a tourist, they figure it out. And still, we speak a lot of English.
In Netherlands all professionals speak English, Police, doctors, teachers, any institution.
Nowadays paperwork is online and you can choose your language to fill the form in English or Dutch and probably even Spanish too.
We appreciate our language so if you want to speak English, just move to England
¡Bien dicho!, ahora dilo en español claro y alto
😂 shots fired
If you plan to live in another country long-term and enjoy the benefits it has to offer then you MUST learn its language if only out of respect but also to improve your own experience. Yes, learning a language is hard as an adult but challenge yourself! It’s not impossible & we have more time than money in life so why not?!
Agreed and it's nice to train our brains. You can only win by learning something new.
I’d like to see Spain and enjoy the culture there. OH and chat with the locals, that would be cool too.
American Hispanic Yes ❤
No latin 😒
Soy Americnaa Hispana y saben que inculto escuchar decir eso una persona que ni siquiera sabe diferenciar terminos😢
It is mandatory if you want to live here. In Spain, It is not mandatory to learn english and probably they will find problems if they need to speak with the admin, police, etc. Probably they will not speak english.
English is not my first language either.. If I would move to another country I would definitely learn the language, but if I'm just visiting for two weeks, I hope people are not insulted that I try to speak English with them. In the Netherlands, it's so different. Sometimes I can't even speak Dutch to the waiter because they don't speak it xD (in Amsterdam). Would love to learn Spanish and French though. I forgot all I learned in high school
The first is from morocco, the second is from Germany
Do you know the Moroccan girls instagram???
@@AM-mv6ro No and if I knew wouldnt give you. Thats not normal to ask on TH-cam
@@Mn16Cr45 that is an interesting perspective. It does not seem based in rational thinking.
Do you think she would post photos of herself on instagram because she does NOT want people to subscribe and view the photos of herself that she posts? Is that what you think is going on?
Do you think she publicly posts photos of herself with the very obvious intent for people go follow her and view her photos but she thinks that the people that follow her are "creepers" because they follow her (which was her 100% entire intent when she set up her IG profile and posted public photos)
I think you just enjoy attacking/accusing people publicly to seem like you are on some imagined moral high-horse looking down in judgement of other people.
Or perhaps you believe that your perspective on what questions are NOT acceptable on YT but perhaps might be acceptable on twitter or FB or whatever other social platforms you use. Is there a different socially acceptable list of rules for each of them? Did you create this list of rules?
Here is the deal. When you learn Spanish then you can communicate with more than 600 millions people not just in Spain but around the world. That’s sick
If you go to country side then is good to know and speak Spanish because many of them are elders and don’t know nothing about English just from experience also I’m Spanish
Briefly visiting is one thing, but if you're living there then you need to show respect by learning Spanish. It's not hard.
y dale con el término "latino", los latinos eran de la región del Laccio, en Italia, y los españoles somos hispanos...y si vienes a España a vivir, te tocará aprender algo de español.. digo yo
If you move to a English country, then you need to know English right? Well want to live in Spain learn Castilian aka Spanish. Its the National language of the country not English.
Eejit...maybe they would only be there for like a few months or so and it is not easy for them to learn a language in a very short time because they are not an alien
In my opinion if you move to a country with their own native language it only stands to reason that you put in the effort to learn their language. You don't need to stop using your own at home but in public I think you should speak the native language, it's just respectful.
I think it goes without saying that if you plan to live in a country you need to learn the native language.
شكرا على مجهودك يادكتور
Yaha ke log mera koi kaam nahi hone de Rahe hai dhule district ayesha nagar
We are not Latino, we are Hispanic.
you must be slow
It should be law to make people who want to live in a another country learn the language
You can live in any country without speaking the local language at all. But to appreciate it more of course you should try
it's good manners to make an effort.
Agree!
Yo hablo español
From India❤

Hola. ¿Qué tan fácil te resultó aprender español en función de tu idioma nativo? ¿Es parecido? Quiero aprender hindi, no sé si sabes hablar este idioma o eres de la región sudeste, donde no es muy hablado.
@@onelove8062 I don't know , but India is not only about Hindi. My mother tongue is Tamil , which is one of the many languages spoken in India. We have more than 30 languages in India.
@@ivanovichdelfin8797 actualmente estoy en la etapa de aprendizaje (español). No, no es similar a mi idioma nativo, pero de alguna manera lo encontré similar al inglés, así que aprendí (pero todos estos textos los estoy traduciendo de Google, como dije, todavía estoy en la etapa de aprendizaje) India no es solo sobre hindi. Mi lengua materna es el tamil, que es uno de los muchos idiomas que se hablan en la India. Tenemos más de 30 idiomas en la India. Como el hindi no tiene ninguna relación con el español, puede que al principio te resulte difícil aprenderlo, pero ya sabes, la práctica hace que un hombre sea perfecto. ¡Espero aprender bien español pronto también!
@@quackthebunny Eso tenía entendido sobre India, y que en la región sudeste la mayoría de la gente habla tamil si no me equivoco.
¿Es cierto que India no tiene mucha naturaleza y que es más para hacer un viaje espiritual y cultural?
Es fácil si eres una persona con altos recursos que no va a tener necesidad de trabajar en ese país, pero si es al contrario, obviamente necesitas hablar el idioma para sobrevivir
It is so important, I traveled Madrid and Barcelona and what i wanna say is people even in the most touristic areas do not speak English and it was hard for us to communicate 😂😢
I dont know, is it possible to live in England with ZERO english?
Learn the local language if you want to survive
Not only is it necessary, it's just plain good manners, coño!
How necessary is it to know how to drive a car when you try to drive a car?
I don`t feel that is comparable unless you are after a job that requires Spanish. Paying the bills requires few phrases and I believe you can learn them....what else? just use a translation app...
I have travelled to 38 countries and lived in 7, what language shall I learn, well for starters I learn all the basics for each country, hello, thank you, bye, 1 to 10, for living I'd expect to learn more, shame people live in the UK who can't be assed learning English
Moving to a different country and not learning their language is just disrespectful
English is not so universal as you think.
Anglos have to learn spanish. I speak English , je parle francais , hablo español. The first lady in grey outfit speaking in english but she is french i could ear her accent.
samee ya te digo!!
She's from Morocco (she says that in the full video). But yeah, she obviously speaks French, her accent sounds a little French.
"some people that speak English" is wrong, isn't it.
The second person has a total german attitude. Aquí en Bélgica ya 7 años y saber el idioma no me facilitó en absoluto la vida social ;)
If you don't want to learn a countries language then don't go. It's rude and disrespectful.

Oh wow she is so beautiful
Well, it's a good thing Spanish is one of the easiest languages for English speakers to learn, then.
The thing is most of Spaniard spoke English to me instead of Spanish when I tried to speak Spanish with them. Maybe they want to practice English with me?😂
Exacto ☺️👌, solo se practica pero no es usado 24/7 el inglés no sirve en España ,ni en América Hispana.
Si o si tienes que aprender Castellano o mundialmente conocido como Español.
Igual si vas a Polonia si o si aprender Polaco , o a Francia con el francés , Alemania con el Frances.
Also, “coming” could have different meaning. If you are just visiting, you will be fine not knowing Spanish…but that’s not the same as moving to spain
I don't speak Spanish but i understand a bit. It's not complicated so anyone who settle there need to learn. It's not Chinese come on.
I went to Spain without knowing Spanish but I was on a holiday. Yeah at first it was somehow difficult but it wasnt't so bad at end. If you are in Spain on a vacation then I don't think it's a big deal not knowing Spanish.
In the administration, such as tax office or social security, they are super rude if your Spanish is poor. Can't imagine talking English to them.
My brother says he would learn Spanish for that Blonde chick
UN may introduce a new universal language, for easy communication 😂
Lo necesites o no, lo mejor es hablar español en España, no vas a sufrir de confusiones por que no te entiendan y lo mas importe te vas a integrar mejor y te vas a divertir mas disfrutaras la vida aqui. Un saludo
Want to watch TV, read a newspaper, listen to radio, deal with public offices, your bank, electricity provider, bus drivers, anything that requires Spanish? Then English alone is not going to cut it. Also usually lawyers and accountants catering for the English speakers tend to do a mess pretty much everywhere.
Impossible. But in Rome, be Roman.
Roma is Latín, no Romano
i have a spanish number from vodafone, the app doesnt have english settings. i go ask about monthly payment to the office of vodafone, they make me pay. i go out, after 4 days i realise i dont have internet. turns out they make me pay a whole month payment for 1 day (the last day) and for 4 days ive been using 5 euro each day internet. why? the app doesnt have english option.
i have insurance from asisa. i am sick. i need to go to doctor. i do my research. i download the app for making appointment. i am confident i can handle it while having a headache. because why wouldnt i be able to, right? they sell insurance to people outside of spain, right?? the app is spanish and spanish only. the only thing i have to do is screenshot every fucking page and turn it into broken english to try to make an appointment :")
ps: i will only stay here for a few months. i am getting my education in english. i know basic phrases to go by daily. i respect people when they dont speak english. i use translate to translate my sentences mostly.
Yes, it’s Spain. Spanish people don’t care why you ended up in Spain but they are sure that if you’re in Spain you must speak Spanish. Had same experience
To enjoy Spain 100% you have to know Castellano to get and understand all they jokes and all the ways we talk
If you are French, you are latin/o-a, too. The lack of good education is so prevalent. 😮
Impossible, most Spanish don’t know and don’t want to know English. Especially in cities that are not Madrid or Barcelona. Speaking as someone who speaks English and zero Spanish, and has lived in lots of Spanish cities.
Also Spanish people don’t wanna know why you are in Spain. They suppose that if you’re in Spain you must speak the language.
Exacto ☺️👌, solo se practica pero no es usado 24/7 el inglés no sirve en España ,ni en América Hispana.
Si o si tienes que aprender Castellano o mundialmente conocido como Español.
Igual si vas a Polonia si o si aprender Polaco , o a Francia con el francés , Alemania con el Alemán.
Y si no nos interesa porque están en nuestros países.
@@veronikab__ You are the one living in Spain right? We don't have to know english and even if we do, we don't want to talk english to you because you are the one that is living here and you SHOULD speak Spanish. The only reason for you to not being able to speak spanish is if you are just for a few weeks.
I can tell you FOR FREE that YOU MUST learn the language of the country you are moving to. I have lived in Portugal and now living in Germany. And what I'm about to tell you applies for Spanish, Spain or any country you choose to live in. Can you live in portugal and germany with zero Portuguese and zero German YES... BUUUUTTT... You will most likely end up hanging out with a lot of expats NOT native Portuguese or German people. And even if you have friends who are German or Portuguese and everyone speaks English.. if you're in a big group, EVENTUALLY everyone starts speaking their native language.. it'll take like an hour.. an hour and a half and before you know it, a large part of the group isn't speaking English anymore. And it's not nice.. And then obviously there's bureaucratic stuff which is NOT IN ENGLISH.. EVER haha.. Not knowing the language can also limit your job opportunities as well in some cases.. IT REALLY HELPS to just learn. And you don't have to be SUPER fluent. Just get to an A2 or B1 level and you can go pretty far. And people really appreciate the effort.
I have colleagues from India who do not speak German even after many years and they survive. Others are very good and they are less isolated in the country. All the iliterates from Somalia or Afghanistan will nerver learn German. It must be terribly difficult for poorly educated people to learn a foreign language.
I live in Amsterdam z Netherlands and most expats speak English and so do the Dutch ppl but if I would move to Spain I would want to have at least a basic knowledge on forehand and try to learn more in daily life.
AMSTERDAMMMMM ME TOOOOO
Dang it, I'll have to use hand sign's lol..
You must speak spanish in Miami
First girl so pretty !! 😍✨💘💓😘
Why should people speak English? Dude, you're in Spain. Learn Spanish
English is the global language nowadays and almost all Europeans learn it. You can't expect people to learn the language of every single country they visit. Now, if you want to stay longer in a certain place, then of course, you should learn the language.
@@schmerztablette-yn7ft Ok, then if you come to Spain you shpould know you have to learn the language.
@@SenseyWTF It always depends on the circumstances. Nobody will learn a language for a one-week vacation.
@@SenseyWTFok yea and? What about when people first immigrate before they are confident in the language? How will they manage. We all know many people in the US who immigrate from spanish speaking countries who have lived here for decades and dont know a word of english
@@schmerztablette-yn7ft..la gente que lo necesita,lo aprende....pero verás, la señora de ese pueblecito que tanto os gusta tiene mejores cosas que hacer que vivir pendiente de que un día alguien le diga algo en inglés....Los camareros y en hoteles y gente más joven posiblemente pueda hacerlo, pero si entras en una de esas encantadoras tiendecitas de pueblo, estás fastidiado...Hablo de vivir aquí , no de venir de vacaciones unos días....
So many people speak their language anyways it’s one of the top most common languages in the entire world
Vivor con el inglés en España? Jajaja esta gente flipa. Ni de turista.
BE ADVISED: If you don't know spanish, guaranteed you won't be able to get a job here. Coming from an Spaniard.
With all AI technology and working from home, do you really need Spanish?
@@user-hv5so6qz9z Yes you are working in Spain, how are you planing to comunicate? lmao?
@@user-hv5so6qz9z yeah if you are a digital nomad it could work. But most works are "traditional" or "in person" around here
Why move to Spain and not learn the language? That’s so dumb.
People move to other countries for many many reasons. My partner lived in Spain for about a year because of his job. When he went there, he knew just how to order beer and thank people in Spanish, nothing else. He communicated with locals by typing in google translate. Everyone had a good time, end of story.
Quien conoce Trevino's en España?
I’ll bet the entire world will one day speak just one language.
Yeah, it’ll probably be english
Anyone going to any country that speaks a different language than your home country needs to be required to learn the language of the host country. Otherwise, you're unwelcome to stay.
That's a dumb take and not how the world works lmao. I'm welcoming all tourists, we speak with hands and gestures and share food if we have no other language in common ✌🏻
to enjoy Spain you need money. Just like all the other Spanish speaking countries of the world, they all understand green
Hola

In business perspective it would boost revenue if restaurants have automatic kiosk with English translations just like Korea or Japan does. There is no need to be nationalistic against tourists. I'm Korean, we are nationalistic people, and we love to hate Chinese or Japanese, but public transportations make announcements in Chinese and Japanese, same for the tourist maps and restaurant kiosks. Small serving for foreign visitors make you earn a lot more money.
Lol here in Spain is the same. In the metro. We are one of the most visited countries in the world. 😂😂😂.
About as ideal as going to england speaking only spanish 😂
thanks
I feel that what ever Country you visit, you should at least learn a bit.
Only if you intend to stay longer than a few days of vacation.
I’m American but Latina. Good thing I’m fluent in both languages lol
Do you want to be my marida? 😁
How stupid question is that?
How bad is your English?
if it is possible. we stay with english
If you go to any country learn the basics of the language. End off
Es divertido el español
Hablo un poco de español
Depends on where you move to in Spain! I am sire you would get away with just speak Basque in Basque country or catalan in Catalonia.
Ha-ha
Is hard living on England with any english language! Si hard, so that IS a stupid question!
