Dang, those first few phrases he speaks REALLY fast - for me, at least. Like, "¿me permite dejarle la carta?" was nearly impossible to understand. The rest was a bit easier though! The breakdown is really helpful. Great lesson. Thank you!!

😅 You're right! As I was recording the interaction I almost asked them to do it again but slower... but this is real-world Spanish!

Thanks, Rodney! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing that about “te encargo.” We’ve never heard in Puerto Rico either, but so many people visit Mexico each year, so we figured people should be familiar with the phrase. ¡Gracias otra vez! Que tengas un buen fin de semana. -Jim

@@SpanishandGo When I travel I often find myself having to ask to have the maid come by and clean the room because I forgot to put the little sign on the door or didn't request my room to be cleaned. I'm never 100% sure how to make that request (in a way that doesn't sound unnatural) so maybe something around addressing common things you need or problems in a hotel, like an iron, ordering room service, no hot water, the toilet is backed up/won't flush, asking for a late check out, setting or resetting the room safe, etc.

¿Es normal utilizar el tiempo informal para ordenar en una cafetería o restaurante en México? En la escuela aprendimos a usar “usted” en México a menos que la otra persona esté muy cerca, pero últimamente he observado lo contrario en partes de México y también en este video. (Por cierto, me encanta sus videos y su podcast)

[@DonQ]

I've noticed something for a while now. Wondering if others have, too. Women especially, as hispanohablantes, sometimes rise at the last syllable, rising very high in tone. Even on words that typically will not accent the last syllable (computadora, for ex). Sometimes May does this, but not as often as I hear some others. And btw, I find it quite appealing and charming.

When the waiter says "Gusta que le retire la carta o se la dejo por si ordena...", this is perfectly natural and casual and understandable, but is it grammatically correct? It feels like it should be "o se la deje por si ordene..."

[@Sonicxis4ever]

Question, is the guy (the waiter) Colombian?

[@jas-jr3rv]

So, you can use 'tu' with the people serving you, but they will use usted with you, right? i'm a cashier with lot's of latino customers and i use usted to be safe but they always use tu with me (i'm also usually younger)

[@SpanishandGo]

You can use “tu” with a waiter or waitress, yes. Just follow the same guidelines we outline in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIu4maede5lgpLM Waiters are more likely to use “usted” with a customer out of respect since you’re the patron, but that may depend on the establishment. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching! -Jim

[@artbyaine]

I always get put off continuing Spanish when I hear how fast they talk! help , does this get easier as I progress

[@kinjizakora1665]

The way it was explained to me via martial arts, none of it gets easier (learning languages, martial arts, working out...etc.) It's moreso you just get better at the thing you practice the most. So if you continue practicing spanish, they still speak fast, but eventually you will just understand the language at that speed. Does that make sense? It really helped me a lot comparing Spanish with martial arts.

Being in Central America right now, this isn't really reaching the mark of a good video to order coffee outside of Mexico. Mainly with "te encargo".. The best coffee comes from Guatemala anyways lol. Try providing universal phrases. Not too many fans of Mexican Spanish outside of Mexico.

[@SpanishandGo]

Hey A. Pérez - We were just in Guatemala and they used "te encargo." There is no such thing as universal Spanish. Every country has their own way of saying things. We'd rather show a real coffee shop and the phrases people actually use there than some made up script full of a hypothetical vocab list. There are plenty of videos of teachers standing in front of a white board trying to explain real world situations. ¡Un saludo! -Jim

[@elunico13]

@@SpanishandGo Que chilero que andaban por Guat! I mean que chido, wait Im in Honduras. Que cheque alero! Of course there's a universal spanish. Te encargo is not translated as Can I have. Te encargo is closer to Can I put you in charge of getting me... Universally Me da, me regala, me trae would be understood. I've used some Mexicanisms in Central America and they don't get it. To be understood a universal spanish or the specific country's spanish are the 2 options. I do like the comment May made about listening to how other people say it. Good advice!

[@SpanishandGo]

Sí, estuvo chido. Pero los nativos de una lengua normalmente no cambian su forma de hablar cuando viajan. I’ve had plenty of Brits ask me where’s the “lift” was instead of the elevator, or whether I thought they’d need a “brolly” instead of an umbrella. You can usually understand these things by context. Pasa igual en otros idiomas. But we don’t claim to teach anything other than real world Spanish, and we make it clear where we record our videos. The format has been really well received overall. Si usas las frases de este video en una cafetería y no recibes tu café, tu debo uno. Un saludo desde Puerto Rico. -Jim

@@SpanishandGo lol. Eso me llega alero! Cheque

[@SomaYogaSpectrum]

@@SpanishandGo Exactly there is no universal Spanish. Try using "andar" in Spain...then use it in Mexico...very different meaning. The translator will tell you one thing (to walk). But it definitely does NOT mean to walk in Mexico, though it does have to do with movement! I have a private Spanish teacher but I supplement with KZbin and I always look for Mexican Spanish (because that's where I live). I don't think I've ever heard "te encargo", but I'm super curious about it and will be asking my teacher. Just because I haven't noticed it doesn't mean it's not used.

[@SpanishandGo]

Hey Narul! Thanks for your comment and feedback. We understand the dialogue can be difficult to keep up with sometimes, but there's a reason we do it that way. We don’t slow down because this is how fast you will hear people speak when you travel. There are a few options we've made available to help you: 1. Turn on closed captioning. We have English and Spanish captions available for most of our Spanish lessons. On a desktop or laptop computer, just click the “CC” button in the video window. On mobile click the three vertical dots to see your options. 2. You can set the video speed to play slower or faster under the video options in the video window. 3. You can always re-watch the video or a certain part of the video. We usually leave a table of contents in the description so you can jump to different parts off he video. I hope that helps.
