I'm fluent in Spanish (my dad's from Spain) and I'm watching this because Mark has high quality helpful videos for many people 💜 ✈️

[@jPuma817]

lol yea me too, I'm fluent in Spanish/French , I just enjoy listening to Mark

[@WoltersWorldShorts]

Thank you :)

¿Nivel de "te puedo hacer de intérprete de un campesino andaluz con un fortísimo asento andalú"?

[@BinishAhmed-e4l]

👍👍👍

[@laurasebastian6036]

In Spain we don't say almuerzo for lunch, we say literally comida! Almuerzo is usually a bocata that you eat at 11am for example, in between the breakfast and lunch time (between the desayuno and comida)

[@MarkBH70]

One of the best things one can do when traveling is to act like a kind child. Be wide-eyed. Curious. Inquisitive. Flexible and open-minded. I miss Spain!

[@WoltersWorldShorts]

yep!

[@Benito-lr8mz]

Es de buena educacion saber algo del idioma del pais que se visita y es muy facil aprender unas pocas frases👍

[@MarkBH70]

@@Benito-lr8mz Si! I am going to Colombia as a missionary. I know some Spanish, but writing...? I went to Poland and messed up my 'thank you,' and a Pole turned around and gave me a big, amused smile. He appreciated that I tried to speak the language of only one country, his! I still don't know what I said.

[@tmat90-o8t]

I’m glad you made this video for tourists! 😊Guys, please be aware that some of these words may be different if you travel to a country in Latin America.

[@itsme0206]

When you are leaving, usually the most common way to say good bye is just saying "chao" (it sounds like chau), you don't say "hasta luego" if you are not going to go back soon.

[@RichardMetzger-b6y]

Whenever my wife and I travel to Europe we always learn at least a rudimentary level of the local language. It’s respectful and some of our best travel moments have been conversing with locals in their language the best we can. Can you do a video addressing the recent series of anti-tourist protests? We always travel respectfully, but the recent protests have us rethinking if we should be traveling to Europe at all. Thanks!

[@markwaters8751]

hasta luego! Mark Waters (Canada) Gracias!

[@paradoxparade1]

I'd suggest ordering a "caña" (normal beer from the tap) instead of "cerveza" because the latter can mean a big beer in a lot of tourist traps. Very few Spaniards order a "cerveza", especially in Madrid.

[@JyV79]

Buenas tardes it’s very common in many Spanish-speaking countries. You don’t say dias after noon . If you say DS afterwards, they will understand you and they will understand you are trying. But as long as you’re learning, you might as well learn how to say TARDES.

[@itsme0206]

yes, he forgot about that. After noon is "buenas tardes", also the meal between lunch and dinner is "merienda".

[@madambrianne]

Do Basic French, German, Italian, and Danish for tourists and maybe Do Basic England slang for tourists like lift for elevator and bog roll for toliet paper.

[@LeedsInAHat]

“Bog roll” is a bit crude. Nobody would be confused if you said toilet paper.

[@TaqiShah-q6p]

Yes yuo are right

[@anthonyrobinson-ukcrapslov102]

Thank you, got my first trip to Spain planned next year and trying to learn the basics, this video is really helpful and will be watching over and over again

[@JanG_GC]

Yeah, he's covered a lot of the basics. Check out Spain revealed too! James has a great video with bar/food vocab and several about coping with traditional bars, ordering tapas etc. Really helps you have a better experience, as does using a few words of Spanish as this video says. I've found everyone so appreciative of my poor español.

[@Brooks23]

Watching this as I leave the Barcelona airport! You are awesome

[@aparicioarguinarena4483]

Too late?

If you want to get a drink, red wine is "vino tinto" and not "vino rojo." There was even something named "Tinto" in this video! It's a little confusing because vino rojo literally translates to red wine, but it's vino tinto. Learned that one in Mexico!

[@jurgenkoks9142]

but people in Mexico dont speak exactly the same spanish, maybe there is a dialect difference?

[@aparicioarguinarena4483]

That's because of the color

[@CricketTVHD]

Yes you are right 🫡

[@FewTechOfficial]

V nice

Hola, desde montevideo uruguay

[@tottirandalotti8058]

Das war sehr hilfreich. Danke, Walter 👌

[@rae3859]

Hi Mark! This reminds me of a question - how do you deal/handle resentment from folks on traveling? In my 20s, my friends were often traveling. Japan several times, Europe a few more, etc. For one reason or another I couldn't go but I always tried to be happy for them and just told myself my time will come. Now, in my late 30s, I can finally travel! I try to be aware and respectful (that is, not over talk trips) but I'm finding these low-term friends of mine are making "comments." I notice, too, coworkers make snide comments about others who travel. Thank you for all the videos! I've watched you all since 2013 and I remember a nice comment you left on a response from me saying I'll do great when I travel. :) Cheers, Rae

Hey Friend, Off topic but i have a suggestion for US Do's and Don'ts - School bus rules - stop well behind a school bus the is stopping / stopped and its red lights are flashing - wait until the lights stop flashing before advancing or passing an oncoming bus. Was following a bus and thought how important this is for your foreigner advice videos. Best regards.

Thank you. I just made one year on Duolingo , great refresher !!! Do speak some Napolitano so similar.

[@reneeisep2435]

Thank you for this video. We are flying to Barcelona for a Mediterranean Cruise in July. This video is helpful since we will arrive a few days before the cruise and stay in town a few days after we dock. I’ve been brushing up on my Spanish the last 2 months, but you have provided VERY USEFUL words and phrases. Keep up the great work!

[@LearningSpanishwithDrL]

!Buen video!

Alex Jones Spanish class. That's so great.

[@keeksm9712]

Thinking of relocating to somewhere in Europe…where would you recommend?

[@tompeled6193]

1:27 Neither, "No hablo español." nor "No hablo castellano." are simpler than the other. "Español" and "castellano" are both valid ways to refer to the Spanish language.

[@itsme0206]

In Spain the language is castellano.

[@AbdulMajid-me3dy]

🤗♥️❤️👍🤗👍♥️

[@robingreenwood7627]

Can you recommend a free app to help us learn ?

[@aparicioarguinarena4483]

Duolingo

[@WaynoGur]

You only need 2 phrases. ¿ Donde esta el bano? ¡ Uno mas cerveza por favor!

[@itsme0206]

If you ask for more beer, say "otra cerveza por favor", the word cerveza is femenine, so you say "la cerveza, una cerveza".

[@nanemoon9968]

@WaynoGur ¡Una (cervesa) mas, por favor! In your version, the words got a bit tipsy and danced around 😉

[@jonrenton3655]

If I use this will they answer me in Spanish? I hope not!

Have you been to Spain 🇪🇸? How good is your Spanish language?

[@MisbhaParveen-n5r]

So yummy

[@iqrafatima4739]

Spanish language is a bit tough😢

[@tayyabakamranwasimiqbal9176]

Isn't that difficult

[@yuiopoli9601]

People going to other countries should speak that country's language. Not doing so is extremely rude! If you are going to live in a country there is ZERO reason for someone to not learn the language of the country they're moving to. Have so respect or don't go.

[@tmat90-o8t]

I think these are just for tourists; not for anyone who plans to move to the country.

[@ljr869]

How do you say, “Cut your man ponytail.” ?

[@corstiaan-z2x]
