If you’re into cooking and want to learn more about traditional Mexican meals, De mi Rancho a Tu Cocina is the perfect channel.

[@leenicole1071]

IM LATE BUT YESSSS her meals are authentic. and her older videos have subtitles but not the newer ones for some reason

[@mateoverde8345]

Yes, and her Spanish is surprisingly clear and easy to understand.

[@shoaibislam7056]

If you live in the United States, you should be learning the Mexican dialect.

[@shawnabruley7066]

Absolutley.why can't it be taught in schools, the majority of the US would benefit, but should also adapt to areas were Cuban and Puerto Rican are more previlant.

@@thekaraokelady5182 I used to want to learn Japanese, but now I’m just learning languages I might actually have a chance in improving in, or might need to learn/a language apart of my culture. Which is why I’m learning: Kouri Vini, Spanish, & Possibly Russian

[@dream-landing]

I'm also learning the Mexican accent as that's where my fam originates from! Thanks for this video, especially the KZbinrs section -- I've been looking for Mexican youtubers but didn't know how to start my search!

so glad this was useful!☺️

It's so nice to see some appreciation for Mexican culture, especially from what I consider an unexpected place (Japan!). Your accent is great, and wish you the best.

sending much love to Mexico from this little island:) thank you so much!!:)

Recommendations based on movies/tv/youtubers speaking slow is the deep cut i needed!!!

[@bohnestiel]

I've been using Complete Spanish Step-By-Step by McGraw Hill (second edition).It explains certain words used only in Spain and other words used in Latin America. It's been great for learning how Spanish grammar works, and it's also a workbook.

[@Nohablogringo-]

Gracias por este video! Estoy aprendiendo más español solamente por qué no lo puedo hablar tan bien. Y soy mexicana también pero nase en los Estados Unidos. Quiero aprender más palabras y esto me ayuda mucho! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽✨

[@lindas215]

Mextalki and Spanish Playground are both super helpful for learning Mexican Spanish. Also Spring Spanish and Dreaming Spanish (comprehensible input from super beginner to advanced) has some Mexican teachers on them and have excellent content for learning Spanish in general. It’s nice to see see all the Mexican in the comments that are learning Spanish-it makes me feel not as alone. Loved your video!! Thank you!❤️

[@mmmm-zp6nd]

As a Japanese person growing up in Japan and learned English only at school in Japan as a foreign language, aaand learning Spanish now as the second foreign language, I really appreciate your content It's very fun and clear to understand for me. And also I really like your voice and how you express in your words😊 Thank you for your videos!

[@maxgupwell4376]

2:17 "Monterrey" You nailed the rrr sound!

[@emigrace]

Hahahhahaha thank you! while editing I was like “why tf am I so intense”😂

[@danielklub]

For textbooks I recommend Ana María Maqueo's Español para Extranjeros. It's old and outdated, but it's definitely Mexican.

[@MrSalas]

Lmao @8:05 that is a perfect way of describing me. I just might steal that description 😂 Thank you so much for the mention. I didnt even know that was a thing on KZbin.

[@lupin741992]

Emi! Thank you so much. A German here, looking for Mexican Spanish material in an English video out of Japan xD This is EXACTLY the information I was struggling to find. It's really hard to find latin youtubers when you don't know what you're looking for and most of the time, the things recommended to me were literally only the biggest channels who talk in 1.5 speed (at least it feels like it, like you said) :D Thanks so much. You made my life a lot easier and I'll be sure to check out your recommendations.

[@Lauren-zc5ox]

Hi Emi! I just wanted to say thank you for your recommendations! The input I've gotten from the podcasts and youtubers you recommended has made an ENORMOUS impact in my vocabulary acquisition and my ability to comprehend native speakers. Thank you recommending some native content that is more clearly and slowly spoken. PLUS I can't say enough good things about Language Transfer. It's all helped me to surpass the stage I had quit at in the past. Being at the stage where I can enjoy content makes the process way more enjoyable.

[@emigrace]

Thanks for this. I can now add Mexican Spanish to the list of language that I now speak. PS it's 4 but with Mexican Spanish it would be 5.

[@user-gh2hu6gw2n]

The best Spanish textbook is the one you use consistently. Unlike other Romance languages (French, Portuguese, etc.), Spanish is easiest to understand amongst Lat. Am & Castilian Spanish dialects. If you chose to learn a different accent at some point along your studies, you make adjustments accordingly. If you have friends in Lat. Am., see if they can ship you their old textbooks. Otherwise, for those living in U.S.A., try getting in contact with university students who majored in Spanish. These textbooks will most likely be dirt cheap.

[@Andeedom12]

@@emigrace i think mero is used in other ways too, but "el mero mero" is like "the boss" kind of like "head honcho" like literally the person in charge, or also like the very best, or one and only

I recently started watching Alex Tienda (specifically his North Korea series)... he's a Mexican travel vlogger, and I feel like he's a little easier to understand... at least in the five videos I've seen so far.

[@emigrace]

Thanks for the recommendation!!:)

[@rickcroucher]

Thanks. I needed that.

[@miyo._.5569]

I was born n raised in SoCal in a Mexican neighborhood and my native language (Tagalog) has a lot of Spanish so I know a lot of random words and phrases but it’s difficult to work when you don’t know at least intermediate Spanish 😭 all of the jobs I’ve had had mostly ONLY Spanish-speaking coworkers (as I’m typing I’m at work 😅) so hopefully I can learn as much as I can to make it easier for me and them to work together

[@Marigoldmorning]

This is so fantastic!

[@nossair7969]

Thanks so much for the recommendations ! I started listening to an episose of Creativo with Caloncho and holy molly that was humbling haha. You know when you're at a café minding your business and there are people around you having a conversation but you're focused on something else and it just kinda becomes this mushy stream of words that vaguely sounds english but you just hear it go by and you only pick up on a few words that stand out here and there ? That's how that interview sounded to me haha, so much for me proudly thinking I was at a comfortable B2 level xD Also, I like how there's a lot more room for experimenting when it comes to KZbinrs in your target language, as in there are quite a few that I wouldn't be interested by if they created content in english, but just the mere fact that they're in spanish and are easy to understand makes me have a lot more good will and have less room for boredom since I'm just busy understanding what the hell they're saying haha

[@emigrace]

Ay I cut it out from the video bc it was getting too long, but i definitely feel you bc can’t understand a lot either😂😅 I listen to a 2 hour episode in the course of 1-2 weeks bc my brain can’t take in such rapid Spanish hahahaha Agree about the KZbinr thing too!hahahah

I had an idea while emi was talking about fast speakers. KZbin allows you to slow down the playback speed. So you can convert any fast-talking KZbin channel into a slow-talking KZbin channel. I'll have to try it out.

A lot of the podcasts you mentioned are guys. If you want to hear more of the mexican female point of view, and you want to widen your vocabulary more and are interested in self development, psychology, and literature then i highly recommend Se Regalan Dudas. I dont know if they’re from Monterrey but im pretty sure they’re from Northern Mexico. They also have a book club and they do episodes where they interview other famous women from Mexico and talk about pop culture, dating, therapy, philosophy, etc.

[@sergioalvarez4549]

I’m born and raised in the states (Bay Area, California) and I’m one of the few in my family who can’t speak Spanish. I’m Mexican and a little Irish, but I just struggle very much grasping it. My pronunciation is just fine, you’d think I’m fluent. As for English, it’s my only language so I’m perfect there. And the grammatical structures don’t exactly match up between the two languages. I feel like that’s what makes learning Spanish so difficult for me. If only I could download it into my own head 😂
