I like this new format. It's what people can actually use.
So glad you liked it! Thanks for your support.

This was great! Real life scenarios are always the best way to learn!
u should have more likes
Thanks a lot, Chris! Much more to come soon. What kind of video would you like to see next? Un saludo. -Jim
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! We figure it's better to show you the way you will actually hear it in a Spanish-speaking country, so we left it. Glad you enjoyed the format.

@@SpanishandGo I'm so glad you kept it! Real world spanish + breakdown is exactly what I'd like to see right now, so I really appreciate the work you all are doing. I'm heading off to cdmx (2nd time there) for a couple months so we'll see how I do!
Thanks for the links!
Awesome! We have much more to come soon. Have a great trip! Un saludo. -Jim
ewwitsantonio but once you understand it the second time you hear it it becomes much slower! Now that I heard it and got use to his sound it becomes normal.
hhh same i tryed to figure it out few times before i saw the breakdown...couldnt make it thoug
*I REALLY reccomend putting the playspeed on 0.75 when the waiter talks (he talks very fast) muchisimas gracias!*
If you are living, or plan on living in Mexico....., this awesome pair should be your go to Spanish language instructors. It’s free..... super helpful, relevant, and having trolled (and paid) for online Spanish lessons, I’m giving a thumbs up 👍 right here .. !! I might just copy & paste this comment to all of their classes, because I live .... (retired) in Mexico, and ...... trying HARD to improve my Spanish.. 🤔 ...... SO, I’M committing to listening to ONE CLASS per day..... (at least 3 times in a row)! I learn a bunch with each video... Así..gracias a ambos.
I like this video style. I was able to see how much I could understand from a native speaker and then see the break down of the conversation. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! What topics would you like to see us cover next?
Also, we have more videos in this style in a playlist if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/8E0XIF2uJCQ/v-deo.html

Hola! I'm from Azerbaijan & I'm turk. I enjoy from your information. You' re significant reality. I want I learn the Spanish language. Please , continue so many beautiful videos...
Loves from Azerbaijan to Spain!
I love this style of video, it's a great format. As for "te engcargo de", I've only heard this in Mexico or said by Mexicans in the US. Never heard it from any other Spanish speakers in the US or abroad. And I love how they bring the credit card machine to your table. I've seen that done all over Latin America.
Otro video chingonsisimo, bien hecho!
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
Loved this! I’m currently living in Bolivia and I’ve been learning a ton of Spanish, especially through different experiences. However, I’ve found that my experiences often don’t change much unless I intentionally expose myself to new things. Videos like this allow me to virtually experience something new, and gives me confidence for if I ever do find myself in a coffee shop. Thanks!
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Joseph! Thanks for sharing your experience. We can’t wait to visit Bolivia some day. ¡Un saludo! -Jim
very interesting and engaging teaching method. It is like having an interpreter while listening in on someone else's conversation. It is also a real world situation, so it seems really realistic.
Thanks a lot for watching and for the kind words! We have much more to come soon. Any requests for subjects you'd like to see us cover? Un saludo. -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.
¡¡Su video es muy útil! "Real" Spanish is very different from what you learn in a Spanish class. Por favor, siga haciendo más videos sobre situaciones de la vida real.
¡Así es! Gracias por vernos. We have much more to come soon. ¡Un saludo! -Jim
@@SpanishandGo ¡Muy bien! Wonderful ☺️👏
This is an excellent method of teaching. I learned some new words and phrases. Great job!
Thanks, Kathryn! We have much more to come soon. What topic would you like us to cover next? ¡Un saludo! -Jim
Perfect video. Absolutely the best way to learn. I'd love to see more of these.

Disfruto mucho sus videos, porque nos enseñan cosas que realmente podamos usar en la vida real. Yo puedo ver que ustedes ponen mucho tiempo en hacer sus videos.
(Lo siento, creo que deletreé "nos" sin el "s", estaba tratando de decir nos.)
¡Muchas gracias, Andrew! Es verdad, invertimos mucho tiempo haciendo cada video, pero nos encanta hacer videos útiles para ti y otros que están aprendiendo español. ¡Un saludo! -Jim
Great video guys! Really high production value on this one!

Great content guys !
Thanks a lot! We appreciate your support. Un saludo. -Jim
Great video! In Spain, a common greeting is simply “Buenas” which is used throughout the entire day, is this used in Mexico or Puerto Rico as well?
Gracias!! Me encanta este video!! So helpful to learn from real life scenarios! Muchísimas gracias!
Thanks for watching, Michael! We have a lot more videos just like this one here: ua-cam.com/video/8E0XIF2uJCQ/v-deo.html

That was amazing 😁
Me gusta mucho este vídeo
I love your videos and your podcast. You do a wonderful job, I love the format. I always learn I interesting verbs and phrases that I do not hear anywhere else. When I practice listening skills, I like to listen to the dialogue numerous times to make sure I am getting everything. Is there a way to add the entire conversation again at the end?
Great format I loved the breakdown. I miss you guys💖
Thanks, Wakeisha! We miss you too! More videos to come soon. Hope you’re doing well. ¡Un saludo desde Puerto Rico!
This was so helpful & the format of the video was perfecto!
¡Muchas gracias! 🙏🏻🙏🏽 Un saludo, amigos. 😊
Ready to learn this lesson

Super helpful!
Glad you enjoyed it, Jennifer! Thanks for watching. 😊 -Jim
Thank you!
Very helpful! I live in Mexico and Mexican Spanish is different from Spain Spanish, and even different from further south like Argentina. Mexico has it's own thing, jaja. So finding a this normal Mexican Spanish conversation es genial...gracias!
Great job on this video.

Thanks!
Great video!

Thanks for watching, Karla! We appreciate your support. Good luck getting your printer to work with the accents. Un saludo. -Jim
You guys deserve many more viewers and subscribers. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your support! Un saludo. -Jim
¿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)
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.
Thanks
Thanks so much for the tip! ¡Mil gracias! 🙏🏻 🙏🏽
This is great!! Going to Ecuador in a couple months! So helpful! How would you ask for gluten free for allergies? Been binge watching and not sure if I may have missed it!!
Thank you for the Video. Is the context also suitable for ordering in a Restaurant in Spain or rather for South Americans?
L.love it
¡Gracias, Wayne! Thanks for watching. -Jim
Esta muuuuuy completo 🎊 jajaja
😆 Así es. Gracias por vernos. -Jim
Excellent video..Una pregunta...In Mexico, if you say Yo quiero un cafe POR FAVOR ...and use POR FAVOR with your order , would that be ok ?..Gracias..
seria genial poder hablar con gente de el idioma opuesto para introducirnos mas y aprender mas del uno y del otro
Gracias. No hablo español muy bien. Me gustaría aprender español.
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..."
coooolll
that guy spoke so fast I could barley understand him. thanks for breaking it down with the captions, that was very helpful
In some other latino areas they might use "tenemos leche de almendras" instead of "contamos con leche de almendras".
👏❤️❤️❤️!
🙌🏻❤️
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)
You can use “tu” with a waiter or waitress, yes. Just follow the same guidelines we outline in this video: ua-cam.com/video/VZUhtgF4-nQ/v-deo.html
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
Da nada 😉
:/ o wow!
hola
You should travel to Columbia
Or Latino country
Please
We will! It's on our list of places to visit in the near future. Stay tuned! Un saludo. -Jim
Great, another great real world scenario how to use correct Spanish now if you can make one for ordering margaritas ha ha ha
Question, is the guy (the waiter) Colombian?
I always get put off continuing Spanish when I hear how fast they talk! help , does this get easier as I progress
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.
Buenos dias- Good morning
Buenos tardes- Good afternoon
Buenos noches- Good night
Bienvenida a …- welcome to
Me permite dejarle la carta- may i give u the menu
La Carta/el menu- the menu
En seguida tomo su orden- I will take your order right away
Soya- soy
Almendra- al,mund
Coco-coconut
Puedo Tomar su orden- may i take your order
Si, Gracias- Yes thank You
Bueno, Tengo una pregunta
Tienes Alguna leche vegetal- Do you have any plant- based milk
Entera- whole
Light-light
Deslactosada- lactose free
Claro Que si- of course sure thing
Contamos con- we have….
Entonces- va a cer un chai de especias- then it’s going to be a spiced chai
Hot- Caliente
Me traes- can you bring
No new videos?
So difficult to hear the audio when the waiter is there😌
Might be good to enable CC so people can read too
Great idea. Just hit the “C” button to turn on the closed captions.
I have heard many Spanish speaking people ask for "Wee-Fee" Wifi
That seems to be more popular in Spain and probably other Spanish-speaking countries. But in Mexico, the way you hear it in the video in more common. People will likely understand you however you choose to pronounce it. Thanks for watching! -Jim
I thought this couple was living in PR
This couple is living in PR. We just travel a lot. Cheers! -Jim
2:46 you want to order a "chai tea". Chai translates to tea in Hindi. So you are ordering a "tea tea". LOL
Soy en español no era soja?
Soy in Spanish is _soya_ . I hope that helps! -Jim
Pero en españa aprendemos que es soja y no soya. Creo que esa palabra es diferente en españa y en Latinoamérica
@@zena8226 I see it now on SpanishDict: www.spanishdict.com/translate/soy%20milk
Latin America: _Soya_
Spain: _Soja_
But as we mention in the video, we filmed this video in Mexico. _Soya_ is most definitely soy in Mexico. Thanks for watching! -Jim
This is great but the waiter speaks waaaaaay to fast! 😩😔
How come she is saying tu? I always thought with strangers you should use usted.
Hi Sara! She’s using _tú_ Because the waiter looks the same age as her or younger. You’d never use “usted” with someone who is clearly younger than you. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching. -Jim
Spanish and Go thank you! would it be better to use tu or usted with a server if they’re older than you? would people take offence to you using tu because I forget most of the time
@@saraj2311 Even if you look the same age as the server, they might use the formal _usted_ form with you to show respect to you as a patron of their business. We go more into depth with this topic here: ua-cam.com/video/VZUhtgF4-nQ/v-deo.html
I hope that helps! -Jim
me traes, me das… is the informal here ok?
In Mexico, if someone looks the same age as you or younger, you can use informal speech in casual interactions like this. More info here: spanishandgo.com/learn/tu-vs-usted
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.
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
@@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!
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
@@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 UA-cam 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.
He talk two fast..... remember this video for learning Spanish.next time bet slow plzz
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. Thanks for watching! -Jim
