Pros of Madrid Spain | Living Abroad in Spain for 2 years

[@dureebryant9867]

My favorite memory of Madrid is visiting my daughter there 2 times❤️

[@MaliaBryant]

It was always a fun time when you visited! 🫶🏾

[@davidrm110]

I love seeing Madrid through your eyes. We Spanish people don’t appreciate what we have. Thank you.

[@MaliaBryant]

Thank you so much! I love Spain a lot and there's a lot to appreciate in that beautiful country 😊

[@jillowens8307]

Malia, I enjoyed watching your video. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and it was nice to hear the excitement about Madrid from a young person. My husband and I plan to live in Spain when he retires at the end of the year. Madrid is number one on our list of places we would like to reside. I can’t wait to eat there this spring when we go for a visit! Thank you for your charming video. 😊

[@MaliaBryant]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy your time in Madrid when you move 😊

Hey Malia! Your video has found the right people! Moving to Madrid in the next months and your video gave positive vibes. Thanks!

[@MaliaBryant]

I'm glad you found my video and that's amazing!! You're going to have a great time in Madrid, it's one of my favorite places in the whole world! Safe Travels 😊🛫

How charming you are! Lovely video, thank you for advocating so passionately for my hometown! Guess we all commit the sin of taking for granted the pros we enjoy on a daily basis...

[@MaliaBryant]

Thank you so much! There’s so much to love about Spain it’s hard not to talk about it. I do agree that we take advantage of some things in our lives without realizing it or being conscious of it

[@dureebryant9867]

Great video - I really enjoyed it! The city of Madrid should hire you to do PR🎉

[@MaliaBryant]

Thank you! 😊 that would be a dream job for me hahah

[@leylawalkingbyfaith]

This is awesome 🤍 Thank you so much !

[@MaliaBryant]

Thank you! I hope i was able to help 😊

Can you please review black hair salons! Braids, weaves, silk press etc etc

[@MaliaBryant]

Hi! I didn't have much experience going to any black hair salons! I read a lot of horror stories of people in Madrid messing up black hair so I just decided to stay natural and tend to my own hair for the 2 years I lived there. Lavapies is the most diverse area in Madrid so I would check there for hair salons and beauty supply stores! I was in a Facebook group "Melanin Madrid", I'll share the link with you here so you can get advice from people on there: facebook.com/share/1UKxbqbrk64DEjEa/?mibextid=K35XfP Hope that helps 😊

What neighbourhood did you live in? Or which neighbourhoods do you recommend?

[@MaliaBryant]

I lived in: Argüelles and Sol Highly recommend: La Latina, Malasaña, and Moncloa

[@h1nd654]

@@MaliaBryant thank you! I will look into it because I’m looking for a quiet but lively place (if that makes sense lmao)

How low/high is the English level of the students can you have a simple conversation with them?

[@MaliaBryant]

I would say starting in 4th or 5th grade my students were able to hold a simple conversation in English (not just the repeated test questions they always hear). With that being said, each student has a different level of English based on if their parents speak English or if they have an English tutor.

[@deofernandez6616]

Did you feel some discrimination being a foreigner? Can you already speak Spanish?

[@MaliaBryant]

I’ve noticed that whenever I travel anywhere people either think it’s super cool that I’m from the United States or they hate it until they get to know me hahah. I guess a lot of people from other countries are used to the “bad Americans” so I definitely would get a lot of judgemental comments from random people. But I just wouldn’t let it bother me unless they continued being rude, then I usually don’t give them any more of my time.

[@MaliaBryant]

I didn’t speak much Spanish when I lived in Spain but I knew the basics! But if I was out at a bar or a club sometimes people would make fun of mine or my friends Spanish if it wasn’t perfect. But like i said this is only some of the people and it usually only happen if people were drunk. Then they would be a lot more outspoken about it

[@codenamekarmaa]

How did u feel as a black person

[@MaliaBryant]

As a black woman my experience in Madrid was really good! I didn’t have any bad experiences but that doesn’t mean they don’t happen! I joined a group on Facebook called Melanin Madrid to hear different perspectives and experiences of black people living in Madrid Spain. Maybe look into that if you want to hear from other people 😊
