Gringa Speaks Spanish to Strangers (Learn Spanish Challenge)

In today's Mexico vlog we put Hillary through the ultimate Spanish test...we challenge her with three different tasks that she must complete in Spanish. It is extremely difficult for Hillary to get out of her comfort zone and speak to people in Spanish- we hope this challenge will help her overcome her fears of practicing Spanish/speaking Spanish to people.

Enjoy your videos! How about a tip from one gringo Spanish-speaker to another? Say the first syllable in Oxxo more like “oaks” rather than ox. Make that O sound more like long English O. “oaks-oh”

[@emilybeeson245]

Why are you so nervous? People are happy to hear Americans speaking Spanish. It is nice that you are speaking Spanish. I am a Spanish interpreter and I get nervous sometimes- some accents are harder. Something I have noticed is that many native Spanish speakers do not correct mistakes that people make when others speak Spanish. I am a professional Spanish interpreter and I have to ask people for feedback on my Spanish now 🤣 Good use of Mexican Spanish words as well you guys! Nicely done and it was a great video. ¡Que disfruten de la bella tierra de Mèxico!

Hard to feel awkward if your raised by a macho Hispanic dad awkward and insecurities are no goes for MEN lol. It's how my dad taught me anyway.

yeah, this is exactly how I learned to speak spanish, just going up to Latinos and speaking with them, and what's neat about it is they themselves will help improve your spanish b/c they're excited your trying their language out!, y ahora yo estava hablando esoañol deste 13 años de edad hasta ahora de 45 años de edad. trust me it works!.

[@rosariocardona7037]

As someone who taught high school spanish, I give you an A in intermediate spanish for NON Native speakers. Best way to learn a language is emerge in it. What you did to Hilary, I would do to my Anglo students. It is harder to teach spanish to hispanic students because they think they know the language and what they know is non formal regional spanish which is fine for communication,but in a formal situation they did not have the survival skills. You did a great job H .

[@sergiosanchez3734]

When Hillary finally gets the confidence to speak spanish, it's gonna be hard to stop her.

Wow! Great video, because I can COMPLETELY empathize with Hillary. It’s overwhelming to me to actually speak Spanish with people. I work at it on Duolingo and I can read quite a bit. But so paralyzing to actually communicate with strangers, we get so stuck in our fear. Keep it up Girl!

Wow! I just went back to the 90's in chicago me trying to practice mi ingles 🥴😊😄

Hillari. Tu pronunciación es mejor que la de Greg!!! Debes hablar mas. Para que no te pongas nerviosa...

[@rassabossa4554]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours. I too am struggling with Spanish. One trick I have stumbled on is: DON'T speak quickly. If you do, you may be mistaken as someone who speaks and understands at a higher level than where you are really at. If I don't speak slow, half the time I don't understand the response. If I struggle and speak each word separately and slowly, enunciating each word carefully, the person I am talking to will likely respond in kind, or at least slow enough that I can make a good guess as to what they are saying.

[@dennyup]

Excellent Video- You two are so much fun to watch together. This idea for a video was absolutely brilliant, so please do more like this one. Thank you for making these awesome videos.

Great job Hillary! Maybe you could find a local teacher friend and offer to volunteer to speak to their class? I know kids always have questions for adults. And they also really love people from new places. You guys are so cool, the kids (young and old) would love it!

That is a national joke, all directions have an OXXO (or 2) as reference LOL

[@isman32]

I've had always issues with speaking English, even when I've been practicing my all life. As a personal advise, stop thinking in your native language and try to do it in Spanish when you want/have to talk it. When you achieve that, you could be sure you have done a big improvement and speaking Spanish would be much easier.

¡¡¡ Well done Güera ¡¡¡ ........ I think you guys speak Spanish much better than you think ...... Your pronunciation is awesome. Nobody hesitated or wondered about what you were trying to say. Everybody understood you at the first time, so it should give you a clue of how good your Spanish is. Once you master the verbs “Ser” and “Estar”, you’ll have gotten it. Bye

The language known today as Spanish is derived from a dialect of spoken Latin, which was brought to the Iberian Peninsula by the Romans during the Second Punic War, beginning in 218 BC, and which evolved in central parts of the Iberian Peninsula after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century.

Do you really want to learn Spanish? Forget about English, you know English already. Watch, read, write everything in Spanish. Practice every day. Eventually you will learn Spanish. It is the same thing for people in the United States of America that want to learn English. If your first language is Spanish, then do everything in English. That is how I have been learning English.

[@agustincastror]

Big success Güera! The most difficult part of "using" a foreign language to communicate with people you don't know is to accept that it is like jumping into a pool, you jump and and then you use the skills you have to get around and, be sure they are there, you know the words and what you want to accomplish. If you feel insecure or you think you sound funny, well... it is part of the process. The other person will help you to get what you are trying to achieve, body language is universal! The hardest challenge you have to show that you speak clear an fluently on a foreign language is.... get information trough a phone call! This is a super test because there is no personal contact and no body language available to use as a help tool. Give that challenge to Greg! That is a PhD. Level test. Now it is harder because of automatic switchboards and the person you finaly talk to is most of the times in a hurry... Nasty modern habit!
