Recently, many videos have been circulating on social media showing Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, speaking Spanish. If you've been wondering just how accurate her Spanish is, this video is for you. I learned fluent Spanish from scratch and now teach over 2,000 online students. I know fluent Spanish when I hear it...watch to find out just how close Meghan Markle is to speaking native-level Spanish, and learn about the grammar tenses and sentence structures she uses in the process. I hope that Meghan can also be an inspiration for you as a Spanish student, as she is not afraid to get up in front of a crowd and practice, fearlessly showing us just how well Meghan Markle speak Spanish.
Thank you for watching, you're awesome :) New videos every Saturday.

👋 Hola, I'm Nate. I used to not know any Spanish at all, and I had no interest in learning the language. I thought learning Spanish would be boring, a waste of time, and would provide no value to my life. Then I started taking Spanish classes in high school and everything changed for me. I struggled with learning the language a lot at first, but thanks to my teachers and my Spanish speaking friends, they helped make the learning process fun. Within a few months, I had gotten to a conversational level, but more important, I had become a more confident person. The real win for me, though, was the friendships I made and strengthened. I discovered that not only did I have higher self esteem, but being out in the real world with people, whether old friends or new ones I met, made me feel more alive and connected with the world around me. Now it's my goal to create videos that make you smile and inspire you to learn Spanish or another language!

There are those with an instinct negative reaction to Meghan Markel can do no right.Thing is , anyone attempting to learning another language & speak it in the country you’re visiting is always a positive in my book.

[@AlvaroFierroGodTank]

For all the english speaking people I can tell you that Nate does sound like a native spanish speaker, so he has the spanish teacher approval from a native spanish speaker. 👏🏼

[@SpanishWithNate.]

¡Muchas gracias!

[@FolksieGuitarGirl]

I had the feeling that M had learnt and practiced her speech ‘parrot fashion’, then attempted it make it sound as though it was ‘off the cuff’ by putting in little hesitations and pauses. But it didn’t appear that she could understand any Spanish when others were speaking. She did well to learn her speech, but I think saying she’s ’fluent in Spanish’ is beyond a stretch.

[@Oughut88]

Strange that this was the only time she spoke Spanish during the entire visit.

[@Answersonapostcard]

Were you with her the whole time? How else would you have known otherwise?

[@tsjonathan]

Think of how many people from Latin American countries learn English and when one US celebrity speaks average Spanish people start giving her flowers. Just the nature of Western Hegemonic power.

[@worldobserver3515]

[@tsjonathan]

@@worldobserver3515 when you finish elementary school you’ll lean more about linguistic exoticism and how western liberalism affects language and it’s reverence - ya know embodiment frames linguistic performance and limits/ enhances it’s significance? Seems like you’ve observed the world but have given it no thoughts. It’s okay we all have our limitations.

Me encanta este video! Sus consejos y comentarios son muy útiles para mejorar mi español. Muchas gracias por su ayuda y analice.

[@randaray24]

Fluent is one thing. Native level is another. Fluency is on a wide spectrum. If she can speak comfortably, even if there are mistakes, is that not fluent?

[@tweetyslife253]

Yes it's fluent. In the most k lots of people thinks that Americans cannot speak English fluently

[@GrahamCLester]

Most of the criticisms of Meghan are made in bad faith for political reasons. She did an excellent job.

[@sarazohar4923]

Agree with you but shes an actress ,and she claims she knows fluent spanish . Kindly know the context of Meghan. But agree with you . Im indian learning spanish

[@tweetyslife253]

As someone who speaks Spanish, Meghan Spanish is very well. Each Spanish speaking country , has its own way of words. Meghan through sound and speaks like someone who use to live in Argentina.

[@msmendes214]

Omg I was just noticing something crazy with the haber sentences in translating to English/Spanish. I watched a Spanish video that used "he tomado un café" with the English translation "I had(or drank) a coffee" and it was interesting to me because they used more of a present tense with haber (HE) when they were wanting to talk about the past, instead of había/hubo. But then when I thought about it, in English "I drink/had a coffee" wouldn't instinctually translate to a "Haber tomado" at all, I'd just use preterite past tense. So, 1) using haber at all is different than how I imagine to translate some past tense ideas, and 2)using the present tense of haber can be translated in English in a past tense way

[@lorig7077]

That sounds so confusing. Lol.

[@user-te2mh7ti7u]

En el minuto "05:16" no se si seré solo yo, pero me parece haber escuchado "perdonad" en vez de "perdona". Si ese fuere el caso, estaría bien dicho, ya que valdría para referirse al plural.

[@JLO_96GT]

Hey buddy I stayed in the hotel right in front of the angel. It’s the coolest thing to see how the traffic flows around the round-about in the morning and evening during rush hour. Mexico City is such a cool place I loved it. I can’t wait to go back.

Typically I find “acá” to be referring to the actually spot or something place I am in, or just in general more specific then “aqui.” “Aqui” I find usually refers to the city or country or in the area more generally. Just wanted to share that! (I learned my Spanish from Mexicans and Colombians)

Eh or em instead of um doesnt sound weird in scotland thankfully, its our normal filler sound in english too

The nitpicking is kind of funny. I know he is doing it to teach and I appreciate it. But it could be twisted into comedy lol. Good teaching video though.

[@edwardhill3410]

I get your point about "perdonen" but I still don't think it would be the pragmatically correct thing. I think she should have just said "perdón"

[@anneharton5013]

Not really te best example out there.

[@TysonJensen]

no sé porque se llama "conditional" por ese tenso. Es más confuso que usar un palabra neutro como "pospreterito" o algo así. Es necesario que aprender con mente claro y sin prejuicios.

[@edwardhill3410]

Because it is literally conditional. It's the same exact idea as "would" in English. It's the most accurate and concise name you could give it

She said she speaks fluently which is a LIE.She had earpiece and she was just repeating .

Proof? Link please.

@@someoneelse6934what links?she said many times in the videos.Her sister Samantha wrote in her book that lie that she speaks fluently.She spoke like she heard first time Spanish.And First of all instead of saying vicepresidenta she said vaisepresidenta.She doesn’t know basic words.

[@straight_talker]

If she really can speak Spanish, she would not have left it till the last day or last show to speak it. She would hv been interviewed or be made to converse in Spanish if she had started it on first day.

[@kev2020]

Her pronunciation might be off but what she's saying doesn't take years to learn. It's basic but she gets her point across. If you can communicate effectively with a person or group, you have reached a fluent level. Being fluent does not mean reaching perfect or native levels.

[@caleidoscopio4770]

Try to talk in any language with an earpiece without knowing the language. It's just impossible, it sounds gibberish

[@shannonking2126]

Meghan obviously was fluent enough in Spanish to work at the American Embassy in Argentina. Also, the accents and pronunciations can vary by region.

[@jilliegirlie]

Speaks Spanish while ripping off poor people. Dont be impressed.
