2:35 I understand the confusion of Francisco who said "Fabric" when he saw the picture of a Factory, that's because in spanish we have the word "Fábrica" wich means "Factory" for english, so we tend to related to "Fabric" but "Fabric" means "tela" in spanish, the material to creat cloths. The confusion makes sense.

Me pasó en un examen de bachiller. Solo tenía la palabra "factory" en mente para un espacio en rellenar y me quedé unos 15 minutos recordan😮do la palabra "fábrica" es español. Eso me izo quedarme más tiempo porque solo tenía la palabra en inglés y aunque se la dije al profesor no me la quería aceptar.

[@danielcortez2903]

I’m glad that my Mexican family is able to At least speak a little bit and even with their accents, They sound pretty comfortable at peaking not struggling too much and although they don’t fully have a huge vocabulary repertoire, they’re still able to give themselves to understand, bravo que incluso sin haber salido del país se puede hablar un inglés bastante fluido, como lo es mi caso. Buen video

[@edgarandre5216]

I'm sure that many Mexicans know how to speak English at a good level and fluently, but we hardly use it in everyday life. I could tell you that maybe in some job but... to travel It has been useful to me. bueno yo solo lo uso para viajar pero en lo trabajo jamás lo he necesitado.

[@Repzima]

​@@eglolit's a really good question. I' ve been paying attention to some videos of young adults and in general they portray or talk about children as nuisance. Don't want children behaving like children they are too loud, too demanding and too uncomfortable to be around. It's difficult to be a parent and more also to be a child these days. Greetings from Mexico.

[@natalialunadelafuente6937]

I loved this video so much, im Mexican but I spent most of my teenage years studying English in Canada, i really enjoy seeing people speaking other languages, the best part about it is that you never stop learning, whether it's a new slang or learning to write a word you always use but never wrote, there's always room for improvement, rn im learning mandarin because I want to go study in china, but I just want to encourage everyone to not be afraid to speak a foreign language, maybe you'll get it wrong a bunch of times, that's what makes it fun being able to look back and realized how much you've learnt

I'd have never thought that you would make a video about the English language spoken in my own country.

[@ChatGPt2001]

Yes, many Mexicans can speak English. English is taught in schools throughout Mexico, and there are also many English language programs and courses available. Additionally, due to the close proximity of Mexico to the United States and the influence of English in global communication, a significant number of Mexicans are bilingual and proficient in English. It's important to note that proficiency in English can vary among individuals, and while some Mexicans may be fluent in English, others may have limited proficiency or may not speak the language at all. Just like in any country, language abilities can depend on factors such as education, exposure, and personal interest.
