I teach English in Queretaro, but my Spanish is ~A2. Very cool to hear your lesson within the context of culture, etiquette, situations.

[@llQershill]

All information it’s correct and super natural,aprobado por una Mexicana. Well done !!

[@tjohnson4517]

I listen to your podcast all the Time, and you mentioned that you usted to not to want to teach Spanish. I would like tobsay I think you aré a great teacher. You make clear points, give good advice, and make mexicana spanish simple for english speakers. Felicidades y suerte con su canal y podcast Nate

[@absofsteel9323]

Is the podcast on Spotify? If so, what is it called?

I've been ordering food for a while now in Spanish, but this was still helpful. I had never used or heard "me regala" in food context before this video and used it the other day to ask for a paper plate at the truck I occasionally get food from after work. Came back here to say thanks for all your content Nate.

[@DanDylan]

Bruh you’re the best out there ;) keep posting this type of situational videos! It’s very useful ! Some ideas that expats will be thankful and interested are : at the bank, at the immigration office, shopping, looking for an apartment, buying a vehicle, making friends, getting lost, on and on

[@lalitamarvin1837]

Omg this is the most detailed and helpful video on ordering in Spanish I’ve seen! ¡Muchísimas gracias!!!

[@Lowbudget6]

Gracias güey este es muy bueno para mi porque he estado aprendiendo español por uno año y necesito cosas así este en los restaurantes. Gracias!

[@TylerLL2112]

I love how at the end of the video, you could have very well used Xiaoma’s testimonial but you skipped it for a lesser known individual. That’s respect. I appreciate you videos and hopefully someday, I’ll understand your Spanish parts without the need for subtitles. Take care!

When in Costa Rica I found that when ordering food in a restaurant they say "me regala" even though they really intend to pay.

[@CollieNike3]

This is a GREAT video, Nate. Excellent format and really helpful with the text and clear explanations. Thank you!

[@michaelacollin97]

entonces a qué te refieres cuando dijiste 10? 10% o 10 pesos? osea hablando de la propina

[@williamstaib2996]

Awesome video again, Nate! I was in the supermarket and I heard a Latino guy next to me at the meat counter say “me regalas una langosta?” I was confused, but you’ve got my back with the explanation 👊 Is “me regalas” used more in any specific regions of México, or in other countries too?

[@edwardhill3410]

Yes! It is for sure widely used in Costa Rica in addition to a few others. Be careful where you say it though: if you use "me regalas" it in Argentina they will take you literally and think you want their product for free! Instead, here in Argentina, we say "Te pido _____" (also pretty common in a bunch of other Spanish-speaking countries)

[@OsageArcher1066]

"¿Me regalas?" is often used in Colombia, too. Just a polite way of requesting something.

[@dianetecotzky8895]

Muchas gracias para su video!!! Excellente!

Cognates and borrowings aren't the same thing. Cognates are words in sister languages that descend from a common word in an ancestral language. "Internet" in English and Spanish aren't cognates. "Internet" in Spanish is a loan word from English. _Padre_ and _Father_ are actually cognates. The common ancestor word goes all the way back towards some early descendant of Proto-Indo-European. In the Germanic branch, the /p/ turned into an /f/ in certain environments -- you can see another example of that in _pesc_ and _fish._ English has bunch of words borrowed from Norman French and directly from Latin. But I'm not sure I would call English "station" and Spanish "estación" cognates. The Spanish and the French pair would be, but there was a sort of horizontal transfer to English, and cognates are about descent from a common ancestral language. "Madre" and "mother" are also cognates.

Them tacos looked like nugs when i was scrollin by

[@ssjrose9641]

Mexican Girlfriend, living in Mexico, teaching spanish...😂😂😂 I think there's a high probability that Nate is not coming back to the states 😂😂😂😂

[@Piano_Kid90]

Este es un gran video. Muchísimas gracias :D

[@4himsanctified]

bien hecho

[@srbaruchi]

Hey, Nate. Otro excelente video. In Mexico, is the tip on the amount BEFORE tax (as in the States) or on the total, including tax?

[@vatechie21]

As far as I’ve seen anywhere in Mexico, the price you see is exactly what you pay (taxes included I guess) so there’s only one number. Much easier!

[@theesuspect]

"Mexico City where u live?" I thought you lived in LA lol

Bring the mustache back!

[@MrCharlescarlos]

Do you offer Spanish immersion class there in Mexico City? I would like to visit CDM and improve my Spanish conversation

[@SpanishWithNate.]

I’m planning a trip for next year, send me an email at [e-mail] :)

[@ronaldseyez]

I just learned quiero from duolingo 😂

[@vatechie21]

No one says Provecho to random ppl as far as I’ve seen in Baja California; so sad. I visited Oaxaca once and they did - it’s really nice 😊 I guess you have to get farther away from the US for pleasantries lol

[@morgandunzer1781]

I live in Baja and I hear provecho a lot 😊

[@vatechie21]

@@morgandunzer1781 ohh! I’ve only really been out in Ensenada and TJ but maybe I haven’t been to the right places yet. I will have to get back and explore

[@adamrodriguez4240]

Todas Nuevo salsas. Me preguntar, este es la chema lengua, o la chema cola. Lol they hate me everytime im sure

[@MusicShortsGlobal]

Nate spoke so much Spanish and he's starting to look like one...😅

[@jpam59]

Hace tiempo estuve en gringo landia y me tope como algunos cabezas huecas racitas me llamaron la atencion 😂😂😂 they said you can't speak Mexican here 😂😂😂 oh yeah 😂😂 and i told them is Spanish no Mexican 😂😂😂 and they said speak American 😂😂😂 i said ok there's so many native Americans languages in America from Alaska to argentina 😂😂😂 and i walked away but i told the but the way its ingles and USA no speak american 😂😂😂

[@neilwaldock6272]

"Exactly the same or extremely identical". So they're the same or the same! I think he meant "exactly the same or extremely close". I've never heard "extremely identical" before, as opposed to just "identical".

[@bkcalvine]

Can we stop with the PERFECT clickbait titles?

[@morphobots]

Oh, come on Nate. I can't believe you missed that. Para ir comiendo is best translated as "to eat on the go." Constructive criticism is all. I do enjoy your videos. Keep it up.

[@bandini22221]

I wish you'd quit teaching the tuteo form to Americans altogether. It's unnecessary and sounds cringe-worthy when they use out out of place, which they always do, especially young people talking to grownups. To Americans it's just a verb conjugation but natives "feel" the disrespect in their bones. En Puebla cada año vienen estudiantes de EEUU para los cursos de verano en español y me dan escalofríos oirlos portarse tan confianzudos platicando con sus profesores Mexicanos.
