Wishing you all the best,with my special appreciation for you and your work ! Best greetings from Paris 😊
Hi Elliot; I watched half of the video before posting this. I'm Welsh and my wife is Spanish. We have a home in the Axarquia, Malaga. Most people all over the world have no idea about other people and that extends to Malaga despite the tourists. A certain amount of Spaniards will refer to Americans and the British in cultural clichés. If those descriptors were reversed it would be a cultural, even racist, stereotype. There are British tourists that are mental and go to cheap, Spanish, holidays to get wrecked. Thousands more go to look at art, taste wine, birdwatch, go walking, etc, etc. The issue with the British goes back a long way and it is completely misguided due to a brainwashing education system. The Brits love going to Spain and that was encouraged by the cheap holidays designed by Manuel Fraga and Franco to bring money to poor parts of Spain. The plan, which has worked, was to encourage mass and cheap tourism. That's not the only picture though. Thousands of American and British tourists visit wild and wonderful parts of Spain every year This infantile and ignorant attitude of tourists is offensive as it projects people as the same. British people used to make ridiculous and insulting stereotypes of the Spanish in the 1970s and 80s. In Britain today that's unacceptable. Why is it acceptable for Spaniards to make stereotype in the same way? WT
I think most peoples' impressions or opinions about Americans or Brits in this video is they drink a lot.. Is that untrue? I don't think so.. However, I've been pleasently surprised to meet wonderful Brits scattered around the country - they usually live on a nice rural property in the mountains somewhere and really love the culture, language, weather, etc.. But when you have massive crowds or places like Benidorm, Malaga, Fuengirola, etc, that's where these attitudes come from.
@@AdventureElliot If you allow parts of your country to turn into a Benidorm, Ibiza, Torremolinos, etc, which have 24 hour clubs, sex shows, cheap food and alcohol in the burning hot sun, what do imagine the results to be? The decision to encourage cheap tourism was made at a political level by Franco and his Minister of Tourism, Manuel Fraga, together with the wealthy Spanish landowning elites. American and British tourists in the 50's and 60's were the wealthy who could afford travel. Today, it's open to anybody and you will get the good and bad. By the way, not every Brit is obsessed with alcohol and most drink in moderation. It's a tiny minority that let the side down. I'm constantly reading about bad tourists but tourism counts for 25% of Spanish GDP. People come from all over the world for holidays. It's hardly necessary to learn a foreign language for every country you want to visit. English, whether people like it or not, is the Lingua Franca. That became a big talking point in the latest Spanish election because if the PP won, Senor Feijoo would be at a disadvantage in international meetings where English is the common language. Obviously, if you want to live in Spain you should try to learn Spanish. Most British people I meet know nothing at all about Spain or Spanish history but the same is true the other way round except it's even worse. My wife's elderly uncle goes on and on about how great Spain is and was. In an age when the concept of Empire is in the dustbin you will find many Spaniards who think their Empire was the greatest thing ever. Loosing that empire and the international isolation that followed had a profound effect on the psyche and education of many Spaniards as they turned in on themselves economically and culturally. My wife's uncle has hundreds and hundreds of books by Spanish authors and about Spain and the empire. He knows nothing about anything else. He delights in informing me about some Spanish naval victory over the English in the 17th Century (like I gave a shit). His sister, my mother in law was the same. They went to school in Valladolid during the 1940's and 50's and were subject to educational brainwashing during the worst years of Francoism. Every bit of printed material was subject to censorship. They were taught how the regime was great and reflected eternal 'Spanish' values. The reason given by the regime as to why Spain had fallen so far was that it had been infected by outside influences. Foreign things and ideas originating outside the country were rejected. It's not expressed like that any more, of course, but that pernicious attitude still exists in a much watered down way: Spanish food is the best, Spanish climate is the best, Spanish way of life is the best, etc, etc. The way many Spaniards look at the English speaking world is highly complex and goes back centuries. The kids you spoke to might not know it but they're part of that process. 99% of British people today couldn't care less about their shared history with Spain but a great many Spaniards do care as witnessed in this interesting video.
@@welshtoro3256 It's cheap for you because the country itself is cheaper than yours but those places are actually expensive for us. We do not cut prices for the tourist to get here. Those places are actually very very expensive in comparison. Minimun wage here is less than 1k/month and a random flat in Ibiza in the summer cost 3.5k per month. An ingeneer in Spain earns less than the minimum wage of the UK for example (and Germany, Belgium, France...). A lot of the Benidorm/Ibiza companies are not even from Spain. In the end you can also go there, rent or buy a place and do your thing too like everyone else did before, it's a very global place. But yeah, Ibiza is one of the most expensive places in Spain, you pay 20 bucks for a drink there. I pay 5 buck for a drink in the other side of Spain (on top of Portugal) just to give you context.
@@chico_zombye I'm well aware of the context my friend, seeing as I have travelled all over the country since 1982. I also got married in Spain (Bilbao) to a Spaniard from Castile. I have a large family that live all over Spain and my wife and I have a house near Velez-Malaga. I need no lessons about life in Spain. Indeed, I'm often criticised by Spanish nationalists who hate the slightest negativity on UA-cam channels because I talk about poverty and poor opportunities in Spain.
Elliot a great video. You are one of the best youtubers. I'm bicultural, Spanish ancestors who came to make las Americas and also very proud to be an American.
Elliott, este vídeo está cojonudo! No sé por que tu canal es tan subestimado. Gente, dile a tus amigos que se subscriban a este canal. Este tío merece mucho más suscriptores y un montón de visualizaciones. Great job!
Hola Steve! Bueno, porque hacer los videos en Marruecos que viralizaron hizo mucho daño a mi canal, por lo tanto ellos no siguen viendo mis videos en España.. Sin embargo, my canal de español va muy muy bien Un saludo me alegro de verte
They have a lot more in common than you’d think.. What Americans are to Latin America, Brits are to Spain and southern Europe. They have similar reputations among the locals. But for every bad American or British tourist, there are just as many who go unnoticed because they integrate and are very respectful.
@@AdventureElliot Welsh Toro makes an excellent point at great length. You're propagating cultural stereotypes, which may constitute 'educational content' (your own words) in your view - but not in the eyes of anyone professionally engaged in education.
@@tonyf9984Culture plays big part in the way you think, you behave and your worldview. When people say that americans are ignorant, no one is saying that ALL americans are ignorant, but it's a fact that there people are lead to believe that nothing outside their country matter. Some people rise above that, but a lot of people gets brainwashed by that. The insane amount of americans living abroad saying that they had no idea this and that shows that really well. Not all spanish people like to dance but when you are immersed in a culture where there's music everywhere and where a lot of people have that habit, you're more likely to dance and to like it. Not all english people like tea but because the habit of drinking tea is so strong, you're more likely to enjoy than if you didn't live in that culture.
Lamento haberme perdido reunirme contigo en Málaga, especialmente porque este es su tema y tengo mucho que decir al respecto. Málaga por el ejemplo. Llegué allí por el propósito de practicar el español y a nadie habla el español desde el centro hasta el este de la ciudad. Los únicos que son de España trabajan como esclavos en un horario hético y no tienen el tiempo charlar. Viven en una ciudad en España y por los precios (el 400% más altos que Málaga oeste y el 200% más altos que están en Orlando Florida), no pueden disfrutar nada de su ciudad propia. También he oído los británicos hablando en sus mesas diciendo cosas como «la razón de que la economía de España es mierda es porque los españoles son perezosos y se necesitan acostarse antes del mediodía». Hablan al aire libre en frente de los camareros y todos. ¡Estados Unidos apoyó a Franco en la guerra civil española porque éramos paranoicos sobre Rusia! Es un milagro que no nos odian. A pesar de todo esto, los españoles en el norte y oeste me abrazaban y de veras me daba la bienvenida en el oeste y norte. NUNCA otra vez iré a Málaga centro al este jamás. Estoy harto con «la zona internacional con los precios a los nubes», solo para los necios con más dinero que cerebros. ¡Este estadounidense apoya al pueblo español, el pueblo más trabajador de Europa!
Occasionally, you step off into the deep water. I've decided that I like Spain and the Spanish culture, among others. It looks like the party there is going okay... friendly people - all around... nice to see. thanks for sharing, enjoy, gracias
Al menos en España, yo no veo a nadie odiar a los británicos o a los norteamericanos. Tenemos mejores cosas que hacer antes de perder el tiempo odiando a gente que no nos ha hecho nada.
Odiar, no odiamos a nadie porque somos un pueblo muy acogedor y honorable. Bueno a tí y a mí puede que no nos hayan hecho nada directamente O puede que sí. Históricamente Inglaterra y su hija EEUU sí, mucho daño con la leyenda negra. Nos odia hasta el tato por sus mentiras. A lo mejor tal vez, deberíamos querernos más y ser más precavidos con países que son lo que son por grandes mentiras y verdaderos sanguinarios. Antes de responderme, mira un par de vídeos de Zunzunegui sobre la leyenda negra y verás la risa que te van a dar los ingleses y después Estado unidenses. Así a grandes trazas.
I am British and I have never drank at all in my life! I have never been drunk! What a fucking massive generalisation. I am also known for being really warm and open, I chat alot and I am very emotionally available. It is weird that people think that they know because of the what your passport happens to be called! It is Bizzare, really!
Hey mate. These people are making generalizations based off the tourists they’ve seen in Spain. I guarantee there’s a decent % of Brits who don’t drink. Don’t be offended, I meet cultured Brits all the time, but unfortunately southern Spain attracts this type of tourist.
Their generalizations of Americans are even more ludicrous. Americans who can afford to travel to Europe are from the upper middle class, so to call them drunkards and ignorant shows how stupid those people are.
And neither is Elliot. Further more most of the British aren't too. A small minority let us all down with their vile behaviour and they are just the same back in Britain making our lives a misery as well.
Great vid. Really enjoyed it. I'm English and have to admit a lot of Brits go over the top in any warmer climate and tend to drink too much. We don't have the best reputation in Europe but a lot of it is down to football violence. Most Americans I have met have been friendly and well-mannered and not quite as drunk as their British counterparts.
Spain is a cheap destination for UK citizens. Cheap ticket planes, cheap food, cheap booze. Half the country has visited Spain, and the other half has watched the sitcom "Benidorm". Tourists from the US are a different species: they usually are more highly educated, have more money, are less drunk and obnoxious, and more willing to integrate with the locals, instead of searching for British ghettos where you can have piss-poor British beer and full English breakfast... in Spain. Those American tourists are also more open-minded and outgoing than the Brits, IMO. As a Spaniard, team USA, no doubt.
I’ve met Brits like myself who immerse and learn the language and love Spain for the true Spain.. but in many of my videos I see a lot of negative feedback about Brits not only historically but modern times. Un saludo
@@AdventureElliot But of course! You cannot expect homogeneity, particularly when we´re considering a 67M country. I´m just playing along with your UA-cam "research", which like most UA-cam videos, give voice to an extremely limited, marginally educated demographic... ;) Saluditos!
Well, if you judge the Americans on what you see on tik tok and YT for example, and that's ALL you see, it's not hard to have an extremely twisted view and opinion about them. I've been to the US 7 or 8 times and know that 99.9 % (maybe a bit less) are very good people. But i have also this : In every nation there are crazy people, it just seems the US have a little bit more and the level of crazy is somewhat higher. lol.
That is what peoole see of you around the world. People in movies, youtube, tik tojs and the news is dangerously silly. And the people you meet is really nice, like those movie neighbours that make cookies for you.
As a Brit who has lived in the US I can attest to the regional stereotypes being more accurate than the national ones. The many people I met in South Carolina fit pretty neatly into the expectations I had but so did the Jewish New Yorkers. They had nothing in common with each other. Similarly in the UK Londoners and Welsh or Scottish people have nothing in common.
I enjoyed this video and it was fun to watch. But I have two objections: 1)selection bias. These Spanish people are exposed to Americans who are on vacation and not on their best behavior. 2) it's hard to generalize about Americans. There are 330 million Americans of various ethnicities, races, ages, generations. Broad conclusions are difficult.
Hey Kevin, appreciate your feedback.. There were people who had been to the U.S., a pilot, others who have lived abroad, etc.. So yeah, definetly some selection bias, but at the end of the day it was a fun video, not an investigative one. Un saludo
Nice to others eeeh,I’s say it depends,but my experience is that the Spaniards from the southern part of Spain tend to be extremely affable individuals whereas other are a hit or miss ie. Opportunist or couldn’t give rats rear end about you👀😏🤥
4:57 "Balconing" Here in Sweden, we have a similar word that's become more common. The meaning behind it is much darker and more disturbing (it basically means attempting to end someone by making them "fly" off a balcony).
As a Brit living in a poor area, I think we come across as "cold" because we don't trust people we don't know well. You seem more out-going than any British person I have ever met. It's like we have to drink in order to get up the courage to talk to other people!
Speak for yourself,I don’t have to drink to spark up a conversation ,I think the video just portrays stereotypes from Ill educated people,go to a provincial city in England ,ask them what they think of the Spanish,you’d probably get ,greasy,sweaty,stink of garlic,very lazy and they torture bulls before killing them violently,a stereotype from people who don’t know! The worlds moved on people are as different from one household to the next in every country .the worlds a much smaller place .
As a Brit living in a poor city, people talk to each other all the time where I live. Bus stops, supermarkets, wherever.. if I really wanted to I could probably spend half the day talking to randomers, but I don`t because I`m a c*nt!
Many of the Anglo-Saxon peoples tend to be quite arrogant, barbaric and uncultured. I had an American friend that expected to see skyscrapers in Salamanca 😅, even if he had in front the oldest university in Europe. But not all of you are the same (even though many of you are quite similar). We have that image about Anglo people because most of you come to Europe like if you are coming to a second class country (especially the British) and most of you drink up to be in coma at the hospital causing many problems... It's like Magaluf in Mallorca, you will see a horde of barbarians instead of British people 🤨. Todo esto está mal visto en nuestra cultura porque cuando estás tan borracho te conviertes en una persona violenta y no controlas tus impulsos, y estamos hartos de ver siempre los excesos que tenéis cuando venís a España u otros países del sur de Europa. Los españoles podemos beber y bebemos mucho, pero no lo mostramos, no llegamos a ese punto de locura donde acabas en una ambulancia o en una pelea, por eso las calles en España son más seguras que las de cualquier ciudad de vuestros países, aunque ahora con la gente que viene del norte de África las cosas se están poniendo peor...aparte de por otras cosas... Lo de las armas yo no veo mal que el ciudadano americano sea capaz de defenderse, por eso no existe la ocupación allí, y aquí damos derechos al delincuente antes que al agraviado, pero hay una mentalidad buenista en Europa que es a mi juicio decandente. Vosotros provenís de una cultura germánica y protestante , nosotros venimos de una cultura mediterránea, grecolatina y católica, aunque los españoles creo que nos hemos vuelto demasiado liberales como para dar lecciones a los demás. Creo que si sois de un trato más frío e inconstante y bebéis por una ansiedad social enquistada en una cultura muy self-centred con una cierta ansiedad social al contacto público, nuestra cultura es de estar muy en contacto con la gente, tener una vida pública, exponerte fuera de casa y no dentro (climatología) etc... No quisiera generalizar Elliott, hay algo que también hay que decir, también el español por otro lado os admira, también tenéis cosas buenas, y creo que el que viene de sitios como USA, Canadá o Australia vienen con una mente más "appreciative" con ganas de conocer más de nosotros que muchos británicos que tienen una mentalidad supremacista y cuando vienen aquí son maleducados, bordes, y no vemos que quieran adaptarse a nuestra cultura. Hay de todo no se puede generalizar, pero estos clichés se ven muchísimo en vosotros, sois una cultura muy homogénea y centrada en si misma. De todos modos yo te sigo desde hace tiempo y tengo que decir que tú eres una gran persona y me alegra ver zonas de mi país en las que no he llegado a estar a través de tus ojos. God bless you 👍🏻🇪🇸🇺🇲
España no necesitó que nadie la salvara de los nazis, se bastó por si sola. Franco se reunió con Hitler en Hendaya y ahí se quedaron los nazis respetando la frontera y puestos a examinar, quién realmente puso más para derrotar a los nazis fueron los rusos.
@@AdventureElliot Oh yes, somehow Spain, as in the Spanish Fascist Dictatorship, had little to do with that war other than exporting raw materials to the Nazis, sending elected Spanish Republicans and sympathisers to concentration camps in Eastern Europe and transporting Fascists to Argentina in the aftermath. Franco's Spain was a moral cesspool.
The two English speaking nationalities that visit Europe/Spain in vast quantities. They are similar.. and both of us are known for having the attitude of “why learn another language?” The whole world should just speak English.
As much as they would love to deny it, Americans and Brits (as well as all the other countries in the Anglosphere) are not very different. There's a reason we're each others greatest ally.
It should be explained that the reason we have a second amendment is to fight a tyrannical government. It’s also in place as a last line of defense in case of an invasion against a foreign enemy.
Hey Bubba did you know that more Americans have been killed BY Americans in AMERICA than ALL the Americans killed in ALL the foreign wars combined that Americans have fought in,mainly thanks to the second amendment, Hey Bubba did you know that 120,000 men women and children are shot every year in the U.S.A ,in Spain LESS than 200 PEOPLE are shot every year !!!!!!! 🌏🏕
It should be explained that if "a possible invasion of a foreign enemy" is the reason for such an absurdity, then it's THE REST OF THE WORLD who should have that "second amendment" and not you. Because YOU'RE the "foreign enemy" of the rest of the world, YOU'RE the tyrant that have the habit of invading and destroying foreign countries... 🤷
Yet even in countries where guns agent legal, revolutions have occurred. Without hundreds of mass shootings and children being murdered in schools. Go figure.
@@Thegalacticgeneral spain no mass gun ownership LESS than 200 SHOOTINGS a year, USA mass gun ownership 120,000 men women and children shot every year, thanks to the second amendment, put me in reverse..
Creo los británicos, nos tratan a los españoles como gente inferior a ellos, vienen exigiendo que se les hable en su idioma, sin preocuparse de conocer el nuestro, los estadounidenses, si algo me molesta de ellos es que piensen de los españoles como si fuésemos mexicanos y no europeos, y consideren mi idioma como algo étnico, les falta cultura en su lugar de origen, la excepción es usted, me encanta
@@welshtoro3256Pues eso lo he visto yo en muchas situaciones yendo y viniendo de UK a España y a otros países, muchos de vosotros cumplís el estereotipo a la perfección, y no te hagas el interesante que yo también conozco ampliamente tu mundo y por eso lo suscribo, el hecho de que tú no seas así no implica que gran parte de tu gente sea así de imb3cil, por cierto no lo digo yo, lo dicen también cientos de personas de diferentes continentes y nacionalidades, en eso era en lo que un polaco, un Pakistani o un Coreano podían estar siempre de acuerdo, por no hablar de otras 100 nacionalidades.

Gotta love the dude who heard "Bad Bunny" when you said _Balcony_ and answered "No, Feid, Feid" he's just like me fr. I mean, I like both but Feid > Bad Bunny
I haven't finished the video but I get the idea. There isn't really very much you can get from what these people say: just silly stereotypes and more stereotypes. Ignorance about foreigners is not exclusive to either the U.S. or the U.K. as we can see here. The guy reducing Americans to cowboys or the other reducing the British to someone wearing a top hat sums it up. Seriously, how many British tourists actually jump from balconies into pools? I didn't hear one intelligent comment. Perhaps if Ellot had asked older or more educated people he would have had different responses. I wonder how many of the people interviewed actually read.
Es lo mismo en Portugal: muchos ingleses vienen aqui porque no tienen sol en su tierra. Una señora aqui por 35 años y no habla Portugués! Que verguenza! Saludos desde Portugal! 🇵🇹😊🇪🇸
We have the same here in England. Portuguese, Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Russians have been living here for years and years some of them Generations. Can't speak English and have to get their children to speak for them. Does it make them bad people? Absolutely not.
Wow, the comments are all over the map here. It's impossible to generalize or come to a conclusion about what the Spainish think about Americans and the British, other than they don't understand them. Lol.
Well, they give their opinions based on what they've observed in Spain or with family abroad, or themselves abroad.. The Spanish who spoke English in the video has lived in the UK, and one was a pilot who was very well traveled.
@@AdventureElliot Many Spaniards have lived and worked in Britain and they are far more open minded. Many stay in Britain because of the opportunities and wages. My wife is among them and I know many others. There are historical issues as I touch on in the thread of my comment.
Es muy interesante este video. Opiniones muy variadas!!! Aunque en una cosa tienen razón. Excepto Elliot, nuestro guiri más cool, en general tienen pocos conocimientos del resto del mundo. Viven en su pompa y no miran hacia fuera.
Si estás preguntando a españoles no sé porque pones los "europeos". Es como decir que todo el continente americano tiene una sola cultura, una sola forma de ver la vida etc. No creo que sea muy justo meter a todos los europeos en el mismo saco lol. No creo que la vida en Serbia sea la misma que en España por ejemplo.
I feel like alot of Spanish people cannot distinguish between Brits and Americans. Which is fair enough, I'm not sure I could distinguish a Spanish person from a Mexican.
I don't really understand the gun thing some europeans have against america. In most countries it's legal to own a gun and shoot it in a gunrange... if you have the right documents and stuff you can take your gun home.) Deadly crossbows and airrifles are mostly legally available everywhere for 18+.
La autoestima de los españoles se perdió en el desastre del 98 con la guerra hispanoamericana, que nos quitó el orgullo y un futuro de prosperidad. Así es como nos agradeció USA la ayuda que le dimos para su independencia, quitándonos Puerto Rico, Filipinas y Guam... Se vendió islas en Oceanía como resultado, al caer en bancarrota. Antes los anglos se unieron para incidir en las independencias de los Virreinatos de América, que realmente fueron guerras civiles pues había quien no quería desligarse de España. Mientras Francia nos invade para apropiarse de nuestras posesiones por la influencia que había a través de la monarquía borbónica. Ingleses y holandeses rapiñaban lo que descubrimos. Esto derivó en la guerra civil y la dictadura de Franco por la pobreza acaecida y la lucha de clases. Súmale a que hemos asumido como verdadera la leyenda negra antiespañola, porque nuestra historia se escribe fuera y ya sabes todos los motivos. Leer a Elvira Roca Varea y a Marcelo Gullo para salir de la ignorancia. "El pasado condiciona el presente"
I am from Eastern Europe I was in New Jersey in 2011 for 3 months. People have been very kind and friendly to me and I didnt had any negative experience. It all depends where exactly in USA you are and surrounded by what kind of people. But I suppose that visiting Los Angeles, Portland and San Francisco would be negative experience for sure. Only thing that I dislike about USA is woke ideology and their Imperialist militarism, their wars and bombings, that they think that they have a right to dictate to us Europeans their will. And no, you are not best country in the world and No 1. You country is one one among the worst.
Siempre me a parecido que un Estadounidense que hable español es más amable y humilde y simpático, en cambio cuando viene otro que solo habla inglés y casi que te exige hablarle en inglés sabiendo que esta en un país de habla española , ahí mismo salen los pensamientos negativos hacia ellos.

I mean, honestly these girls are just judging from tourists, they have not been to the U.S. and if they did it was a short stay. I also, don't judge people on how they look, I judge by peoples words and actions. Some of these people don't seem to be good people in general, and some of them seem like really cool and nice good people. Just like everywhere else. You have the good and bad. I don't go around talking bad about Spain or Spanish people, that I do not know or if I have not been there. It's ok though, I have been wanting to go to Spain for years now, but have not been able to go. I am hoping to go this year. I won't let a few negative people ruin it for me. There is all kinds of people in this World.
-Where is Spain? - .. .. In Mexico? Lol. People should know at least basic geography. Once I watched some dude, walking the London streets and asking the people, mainly teens, simple, basic questions. Like, how many continents are there? One girl, about the age of 15-16, answered the question by asking what a continent is. Mind-numbing. The others were giving their best, yet noone answered the question correctly! It was the same with the other questions. It was really bad. Those kids were so ignorant and illeterate.

I am curious, do the Spaniards think the same of Americans from All regions of the U.S. ? Do they know what region of the U.S. a particular person is from that they meet ? Can they tell even if an American is from a big city or maybe the countryside ? , West cost vs East coast ?, Mountains or Midwest ? Swamps or the Desert ? Do Americans have to have this intracate knowledge of Spaniards to be considered culturally "intelligent " in their eyes ?
The vast majority, as evidenced in this video, know nothing about that and I speak with a great deal of experience. You can see from my comments throughout this post how I detest such crass generalisations.
Todos practicando su ingles, impuesto por intereses económicos de UK y USA, puaj. ¿Por que no se impulsa un idioma neutral y artificial como el esperanto u otro que sea sencillo aprender? Por qué se impone el inglés en los colegios del mundo y no se busca enseñar uno artificial y neutro como el esperanto? Por qué los ingleses no necesitan dedicar tiempo a estudiar un segundo idioma? No crees que esto es injusto? Creo que solo los anglosajones buscan el interés propio.

Hi Elliot; I watched half of the video before posting this. I'm Welsh and my wife is Spanish. We have a home in the Axarquia, Malaga. Most people all over the world have no idea about other people and that extends to Malaga despite the tourists. A certain amount of Spaniards will refer to Americans and the British in cultural clichés. If those descriptors were reversed it would be a cultural, even racist, stereotype. There are British tourists that are mental and go to cheap, Spanish, holidays to get wrecked. Thousands more go to look at art, taste wine, birdwatch, go walking, etc, etc. The issue with the British goes back a long way and it is completely misguided due to a brainwashing education system. The Brits love going to Spain and that was encouraged by the cheap holidays designed by Manuel Fraga and Franco to bring money to poor parts of Spain. The plan, which has worked, was to encourage mass and cheap tourism. That's not the only picture though. Thousands of American and British tourists visit wild and wonderful parts of Spain every year This infantile and ignorant attitude of tourists is offensive as it projects people as the same. British people used to make ridiculous and insulting stereotypes of the Spanish in the 1970s and 80s. In Britain today that's unacceptable. Why is it acceptable for Spaniards to make stereotype in the same way? WT
I think most peoples' impressions or opinions about Americans or Brits in this video is they drink a lot.. Is that untrue? I don't think so.. However, I've been pleasently surprised to meet wonderful Brits scattered around the country - they usually live on a nice rural property in the mountains somewhere and really love the culture, language, weather, etc.. But when you have massive crowds or places like Benidorm, Malaga, Fuengirola, etc, that's where these attitudes come from.
As Spaniard I could not agree more. I hate stereotypes.
@@AdventureElliot If you allow parts of your country to turn into a Benidorm, Ibiza, Torremolinos, etc, which have 24 hour clubs, sex shows, cheap food and alcohol in the burning hot sun, what do imagine the results to be? The decision to encourage cheap tourism was made at a political level by Franco and his Minister of Tourism, Manuel Fraga, together with the wealthy Spanish landowning elites. American and British tourists in the 50's and 60's were the wealthy who could afford travel. Today, it's open to anybody and you will get the good and bad. By the way, not every Brit is obsessed with alcohol and most drink in moderation. It's a tiny minority that let the side down.
I'm constantly reading about bad tourists but tourism counts for 25% of Spanish GDP. People come from all over the world for holidays. It's hardly necessary to learn a foreign language for every country you want to visit. English, whether people like it or not, is the Lingua Franca. That became a big talking point in the latest Spanish election because if the PP won, Senor Feijoo would be at a disadvantage in international meetings where English is the common language. Obviously, if you want to live in Spain you should try to learn Spanish.
Most British people I meet know nothing at all about Spain or Spanish history but the same is true the other way round except it's even worse. My wife's elderly uncle goes on and on about how great Spain is and was. In an age when the concept of Empire is in the dustbin you will find many Spaniards who think their Empire was the greatest thing ever. Loosing that empire and the international isolation that followed had a profound effect on the psyche and education of many Spaniards as they turned in on themselves economically and culturally. My wife's uncle has hundreds and hundreds of books by Spanish authors and about Spain and the empire. He knows nothing about anything else. He delights in informing me about some Spanish naval victory over the English in the 17th Century (like I gave a shit). His sister, my mother in law was the same. They went to school in Valladolid during the 1940's and 50's and were subject to educational brainwashing during the worst years of Francoism. Every bit of printed material was subject to censorship. They were taught how the regime was great and reflected eternal 'Spanish' values. The reason given by the regime as to why Spain had fallen so far was that it had been infected by outside influences. Foreign things and ideas originating outside the country were rejected. It's not expressed like that any more, of course, but that pernicious attitude still exists in a much watered down way: Spanish food is the best, Spanish climate is the best, Spanish way of life is the best, etc, etc.
The way many Spaniards look at the English speaking world is highly complex and goes back centuries. The kids you spoke to might not know it but they're part of that process. 99% of British people today couldn't care less about their shared history with Spain but a great many Spaniards do care as witnessed in this interesting video.
@@welshtoro3256 It's cheap for you because the country itself is cheaper than yours but those places are actually expensive for us. We do not cut prices for the tourist to get here. Those places are actually very very expensive in comparison. Minimun wage here is less than 1k/month and a random flat in Ibiza in the summer cost 3.5k per month. An ingeneer in Spain earns less than the minimum wage of the UK for example (and Germany, Belgium, France...).
A lot of the Benidorm/Ibiza companies are not even from Spain. In the end you can also go there, rent or buy a place and do your thing too like everyone else did before, it's a very global place. But yeah, Ibiza is one of the most expensive places in Spain, you pay 20 bucks for a drink there. I pay 5 buck for a drink in the other side of Spain (on top of Portugal) just to give you context.
@@chico_zombye I'm well aware of the context my friend, seeing as I have travelled all over the country since 1982. I also got married in Spain (Bilbao) to a Spaniard from Castile. I have a large family that live all over Spain and my wife and I have a house near Velez-Malaga. I need no lessons about life in Spain. Indeed, I'm often criticised by Spanish nationalists who hate the slightest negativity on UA-cam channels because I talk about poverty and poor opportunities in Spain.

Hello! They were fun.
Yeah if you like manly looking & hairy armpits ffs.
Elliot a great video. You are one of the best youtubers. I'm bicultural, Spanish ancestors who came to make las Americas and also very proud to be an American.
Elliott, este vídeo está cojonudo! No sé por que tu canal es tan subestimado. Gente, dile a tus amigos que se subscriban a este canal. Este tío merece mucho más suscriptores y un montón de visualizaciones. Great job!

Americans and Brits are about as similar as Spaniards and Mexicans: they have only the language in common ... Why conflate them?
They have a lot more in common than you’d think.. What Americans are to Latin America, Brits are to Spain and southern Europe. They have similar reputations among the locals. But for every bad American or British tourist, there are just as many who go unnoticed because they integrate and are very respectful.
Los británicos diferencian muy bien entre México y España. 😊
@@AdventureElliot Welsh Toro makes an excellent point at great length. You're propagating cultural stereotypes, which may constitute 'educational content' (your own words) in your view - but not in the eyes of anyone professionally engaged in education.
@@tonyf9984Culture plays big part in the way you think, you behave and your worldview. When people say that americans are ignorant, no one is saying that ALL americans are ignorant, but it's a fact that there people are lead to believe that nothing outside their country matter. Some people rise above that, but a lot of people gets brainwashed by that. The insane amount of americans living abroad saying that they had no idea this and that shows that really well. Not all spanish people like to dance but when you are immersed in a culture where there's music everywhere and where a lot of people have that habit, you're more likely to dance and to like it. Not all english people like tea but because the habit of drinking tea is so strong, you're more likely to enjoy than if you didn't live in that culture.
True overall, but in terms of having bad reputations as tourists we are similar 😂 even if the specific reasons are a bit different
Elliot ojala todos los anglosajones fueran como tu
Que tio mas grande 😊
Gracias 🙏🏻
Lamento haberme perdido reunirme contigo en Málaga, especialmente porque este es su tema y tengo mucho que decir al respecto. Málaga por el ejemplo. Llegué allí por el propósito de practicar el español y a nadie habla el español desde el centro hasta el este de la ciudad. Los únicos que son de España trabajan como esclavos en un horario hético y no tienen el tiempo charlar. Viven en una ciudad en España y por los precios (el 400% más altos que Málaga oeste y el 200% más altos que están en Orlando Florida), no pueden disfrutar nada de su ciudad propia. También he oído los británicos hablando en sus mesas diciendo cosas como «la razón de que la economía de España es mierda es porque los españoles son perezosos y se necesitan acostarse antes del mediodía». Hablan al aire libre en frente de los camareros y todos. ¡Estados Unidos apoyó a Franco en la guerra civil española porque éramos paranoicos sobre Rusia! Es un milagro que no nos odian. A pesar de todo esto, los españoles en el norte y oeste me abrazaban y de veras me daba la bienvenida en el oeste y norte. NUNCA otra vez iré a Málaga centro al este jamás. Estoy harto con «la zona internacional con los precios a los nubes», solo para los necios con más dinero que cerebros. ¡Este estadounidense apoya al pueblo español, el pueblo más trabajador de Europa!
Como la economia britanica va tan bien...
@@salozinp Lo que sea, un ácido, la radiación, no lo sé pero cualquiera cosa que les inspire a los británicos a la Brexit, es la idea suya.
They don't know much about America , Americans and how big and diverse the country is
Yet they are pretty accurate on the behavior of American tourists in our Europe.
No, you're all the same. No culture, large ego, superiority complex. You're the shallowest and dumbest people on Earth

Occasionally, you step off into the deep water. I've decided that I like Spain and the Spanish culture, among others. It looks like the party there is going okay... friendly people - all around... nice to see. thanks for sharing, enjoy, gracias
Al menos en España, yo no veo a nadie odiar a los británicos o a los norteamericanos. Tenemos mejores cosas que hacer antes de perder el tiempo odiando a gente que no nos ha hecho nada.
Odiar, no odiamos a nadie porque somos un pueblo muy acogedor y honorable.
Bueno a tí y a mí puede que no nos hayan hecho nada directamente O puede que sí. Históricamente Inglaterra y su hija EEUU sí, mucho daño con la leyenda negra. Nos odia hasta el tato por sus mentiras.
A lo mejor tal vez, deberíamos querernos más y ser más precavidos con países que son lo que son por grandes mentiras y verdaderos sanguinarios.
Antes de responderme, mira un par de vídeos de Zunzunegui sobre la leyenda negra y verás la risa que te van a dar los ingleses y después Estado unidenses.
Así a grandes trazas.
“No nos ha hecho nada” dice este analfabeto 😂
I am British and I have never drank at all in my life! I have never been drunk!
What a fucking massive generalisation.
I am also known for being really warm and open, I chat alot and I am very emotionally available.
It is weird that people think that they know because of the what your passport happens to be called! It is Bizzare, really!
Hey mate. These people are making generalizations based off the tourists they’ve seen in Spain. I guarantee there’s a decent % of Brits who don’t drink. Don’t be offended, I meet cultured Brits all the time, but unfortunately southern Spain attracts this type of tourist.
@@AdventureElliot Only some of them are like that though. Most aren't. There's a lot of baggage in this problematic relationship.
Their generalizations of Americans are even more ludicrous. Americans who can afford to travel to Europe are from the upper middle class, so to call them drunkards and ignorant shows how stupid those people are.
Also I hope they all know I’m nothing like the Americans they’re talking about 😅
And neither is Elliot. Further more most of the British aren't too. A small minority let us all down with their vile behaviour and they are just the same back in Britain making our lives a misery as well.
Great vid. Really enjoyed it. I'm English and have to admit a lot of Brits go over the top in any warmer climate and tend to drink too much. We don't have the best reputation in Europe but a lot of it is down to football violence. Most Americans I have met have been friendly and well-mannered and not quite as drunk as their British counterparts.
Spain is a cheap destination for UK citizens. Cheap ticket planes, cheap food, cheap booze. Half the country has visited Spain, and the other half has watched the sitcom "Benidorm".
Tourists from the US are a different species: they usually are more highly educated, have more money, are less drunk and obnoxious, and more willing to integrate with the locals, instead of searching for British ghettos where you can have piss-poor British beer and full English breakfast... in Spain.
Those American tourists are also more open-minded and outgoing than the Brits, IMO.
As a Spaniard, team USA, no doubt.
I’ve met Brits like myself who immerse and learn the language and love Spain for the true Spain.. but in many of my videos I see a lot of negative feedback about Brits not only historically but modern times. Un saludo
@@AdventureElliot But of course! You cannot expect homogeneity, particularly when we´re considering a 67M country. I´m just playing along with your UA-cam "research", which like most UA-cam videos, give voice to an extremely limited, marginally educated demographic... ;)
Saluditos!

Well, if you judge the Americans on what you see on tik tok and YT for example, and that's ALL you see, it's not hard to have an extremely twisted view and opinion about them.
I've been to the US 7 or 8 times and know that 99.9 % (maybe a bit less) are very good people.
But i have also this : In every nation there are crazy people, it just seems the US have a little bit more and the level of crazy is somewhat higher. lol.
The crazies always grab the attention even though they are very much a minority. I completely agree with what you say about the States.
That is what peoole see of you around the world. People in movies, youtube, tik tojs and the news is dangerously silly. And the people you meet is really nice, like those movie neighbours that make cookies for you.
I completely agree. Love the americans.
People are the same everywhere. You like some, you hate some.
As a Brit who has lived in the US I can attest to the regional stereotypes being more accurate than the national ones. The many people I met in South Carolina fit pretty neatly into the expectations I had but so did the Jewish New Yorkers. They had nothing in common with each other. Similarly in the UK Londoners and Welsh or Scottish people have nothing in common.
Luz, la de la tienda, me pareció encantadora. Mucho éxito con las ventas!
I enjoyed this video and it was fun to watch. But I have two objections:
1)selection bias. These Spanish people are exposed to Americans who are on vacation and not on their best behavior.
2) it's hard to generalize about Americans. There are 330 million Americans of various ethnicities, races, ages, generations. Broad conclusions are difficult.
Hey Kevin, appreciate your feedback.. There were people who had been to the U.S., a pilot, others who have lived abroad, etc.. So yeah, definetly some selection bias, but at the end of the day it was a fun video, not an investigative one. Un saludo
@@AdventureElliot I hear you Eliot but the trouble is you can see what a hornets nest it is. If you do a video like this there will be issues.
It's not the truth it's their opinion
Exactly, and it's not very educated either. Hardly a cross section of society.
You are promoting stereotypes. Spanish girls don't dress like that, only in Andalusia, and not always, only on certain dates
how nice the spanish are towards others. its a great place to be.
Nice to others eeeh,I’s say it depends,but my experience is that the Spaniards from the southern part of Spain tend to be extremely affable individuals whereas other are a hit or miss ie. Opportunist or couldn’t give rats rear end about you👀😏🤥
Damn I’m going back to Europe asap those are some fine ladies Elliot
4:57 "Balconing"
Here in Sweden, we have a similar word that's become more common. The meaning behind it is much darker and more disturbing (it basically means attempting to end someone by making them "fly" off a balcony).
As a Brit living in a poor area, I think we come across as "cold" because we don't trust people we don't know well. You seem more out-going than any British person I have ever met. It's like we have to drink in order to get up the courage to talk to other people!
Speak for yourself,I don’t have to drink to spark up a conversation ,I think the video just portrays stereotypes from Ill educated people,go to a provincial city in England ,ask them what they think of the Spanish,you’d probably get ,greasy,sweaty,stink of garlic,very lazy and they torture bulls before killing them violently,a stereotype from people who don’t know! The worlds moved on people are as different from one household to the next in every country .the worlds a much smaller place .
As a Brit living in a poor city, people talk to each other all the time where I live. Bus stops, supermarkets, wherever.. if I really wanted to I could probably spend half the day talking to randomers, but I don`t because I`m a c*nt!
Many of the Anglo-Saxon peoples tend to be quite arrogant, barbaric and uncultured. I had an American friend that expected to see skyscrapers in Salamanca 😅, even if he had in front the oldest university in Europe. But not all of you are the same (even though many of you are quite similar). We have that image about Anglo people because most of you come to Europe like if you are coming to a second class country (especially the British) and most of you drink up to be in coma at the hospital causing many problems... It's like Magaluf in Mallorca, you will see a horde of barbarians instead of British people 🤨. Todo esto está mal visto en nuestra cultura porque cuando estás tan borracho te conviertes en una persona violenta y no controlas tus impulsos, y estamos hartos de ver siempre los excesos que tenéis cuando venís a España u otros países del sur de Europa. Los españoles podemos beber y bebemos mucho, pero no lo mostramos, no llegamos a ese punto de locura donde acabas en una ambulancia o en una pelea, por eso las calles en España son más seguras que las de cualquier ciudad de vuestros países, aunque ahora con la gente que viene del norte de África las cosas se están poniendo peor...aparte de por otras cosas... Lo de las armas yo no veo mal que el ciudadano americano sea capaz de defenderse, por eso no existe la ocupación allí, y aquí damos derechos al delincuente antes que al agraviado, pero hay una mentalidad buenista en Europa que es a mi juicio decandente. Vosotros provenís de una cultura germánica y protestante , nosotros venimos de una cultura mediterránea, grecolatina y católica, aunque los españoles creo que nos hemos vuelto demasiado liberales como para dar lecciones a los demás. Creo que si sois de un trato más frío e inconstante y bebéis por una ansiedad social enquistada en una cultura muy self-centred con una cierta ansiedad social al contacto público, nuestra cultura es de estar muy en contacto con la gente, tener una vida pública, exponerte fuera de casa y no dentro (climatología) etc...
No quisiera generalizar Elliott, hay algo que también hay que decir, también el español por otro lado os admira, también tenéis cosas buenas, y creo que el que viene de sitios como USA, Canadá o Australia vienen con una mente más "appreciative" con ganas de conocer más de nosotros que muchos británicos que tienen una mentalidad supremacista y cuando vienen aquí son maleducados, bordes, y no vemos que quieran adaptarse a nuestra cultura. Hay de todo no se puede generalizar, pero estos clichés se ven muchísimo en vosotros, sois una cultura muy homogénea y centrada en si misma.
De todos modos yo te sigo desde hace tiempo y tengo que decir que tú eres una gran persona y me alegra ver zonas de mi país en las que no he llegado a estar a través de tus ojos. God bless you 👍🏻🇪🇸🇺🇲
Muy bien dicho...
Why you calling Americans Anglo-saxons ?? Majority of people are either of German and Irish ancestry
Us Americans think that Africans and Latins that invade our country and bring crime to our cities, like NYC where I live, are also barbaric!
Who were the people who saved the European butts from the nazis? Just wonder.
I made a video in germany asking about WW2 stuff so there's a lot different answers with Germans than with Spanish
España no necesitó que nadie la salvara de los nazis, se bastó por si sola. Franco se reunió con Hitler en Hendaya y ahí se quedaron los nazis respetando la frontera y puestos a examinar, quién realmente puso más para derrotar a los nazis fueron los rusos.
@@AdventureElliot Oh yes, somehow Spain, as in the Spanish Fascist Dictatorship, had little to do with that war other than exporting raw materials to the Nazis, sending elected Spanish Republicans and sympathisers to concentration camps in Eastern Europe and transporting Fascists to Argentina in the aftermath. Franco's Spain was a moral cesspool.
Russians did and suffered them with the blood in their land, your land never got blooded with an important percent of your population fighting nazis.

I haven't finished the video but I get the idea. There isn't really very much you can get from what these people say: just silly stereotypes and more stereotypes. Ignorance about foreigners is not exclusive to either the U.S. or the U.K. as we can see here. The guy reducing Americans to cowboys or the other reducing the British to someone wearing a top hat sums it up. Seriously, how many British tourists actually jump from balconies into pools? I didn't hear one intelligent comment. Perhaps if Ellot had asked older or more educated people he would have had different responses. I wonder how many of the people interviewed actually read.
If I use fan here in US, many will laugh at me.

Well, they give their opinions based on what they've observed in Spain or with family abroad, or themselves abroad.. The Spanish who spoke English in the video has lived in the UK, and one was a pilot who was very well traveled.
That's exactly it. There's very little understanding.

I don't really understand the gun thing some europeans have against america. In most countries it's legal to own a gun and shoot it in a gunrange... if you have the right documents and stuff you can take your gun home.)

La autoestima de los españoles se perdió en el desastre del 98 con la guerra hispanoamericana, que nos quitó el orgullo y un futuro de prosperidad. Así es como nos agradeció USA la ayuda que le dimos para su independencia, quitándonos Puerto Rico, Filipinas y Guam...
Se vendió islas en Oceanía como resultado, al caer en bancarrota.
Antes los anglos se unieron para incidir en las independencias de los Virreinatos de América, que realmente fueron guerras civiles pues había quien no quería desligarse de España.
Mientras Francia nos invade para apropiarse de nuestras posesiones por la influencia que había a través de la monarquía borbónica.
Ingleses y holandeses rapiñaban lo que descubrimos.
Esto derivó en la guerra civil y la dictadura de Franco por la pobreza acaecida y la lucha de clases.

@@kJ922-h3j Scots are not British ! They are Scottish and belong too the Country of SCOTLAND. The British State rules over England Wales and England. What you are saying! Is like saying the USSR are Russians when in fact the Russians ruled over other eastern European countries under the USSR
@@radleytube Britain is the island of England, Scotland & Wales…English people are English and British, Scottish people are Scottish and British, Welsh people are Welsh and British
what do the Spanish think of the brits that come to live in Spain as expats not tourists ,
Are you going to fallas Valencia?
I live in the UK, from Bulgaria originally, when I go on holidays I NEVER say I'm British, partly because I'm NOT and partly because I like to think of my self as cultured and unlike some people from Britain I know that go on holiday. I always say I am from Bulgaria.
I understand your pain.. I’m sometimes embarrassed to say I’m American 🤣
I understand your pain.. I’m sometimes embarrassed to say I’m American 🤣
I find it hilarious that so many foreigners like yourself diss and hate on the UK but leave your ‘better’ country and move to the UK😂😂
It’s very simple, don’t like the UK move badk to Bulgaria.
@@AdventureElliotyou shouldn’t be embarrased of saying that you are American,most of people have no issues with the Americans tourists and we see you as easygoing and cheerful❤at least you don’t practise “balconing” hahahhahah
Gran video!!!
British and English are not the same. Stop using them interchangeably. It's insulting to the rest of us in the UK.
I didn’t group us.. I asked “what do you think of Americans?” Or “What do you think of Brits”
Go cry
@AdventureElliot no you did say what do you think about England. You forget there is Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland too
But you really are the same. . .
Like Scotland and wales have anything to shout about😂
I’m English and I don’t drink at all 😂
Did you say British or English in Spanish? You are confusing them!
English and British is not the same thing
Some top salty gashes on here
I mean, honestly these girls are just judging from tourists, they have not been to the U.S. and if they did it was a short stay. I also, don't judge people on how they look, I judge by peoples words and actions. Some of these people don't seem to be good people in general, and some of them seem like really cool and nice good people. Just like everywhere else. You have the good and bad. I don't go around talking bad about Spain or Spanish people, that I do not know or if I have not been there. It's ok though, I have been wanting to go to Spain for years now, but have not been able to go. I am hoping to go this year. I won't let a few negative people ruin it for me. There is all kinds of people in this World.
hmmm I thought Spain is famous for beautiful women, but after seeing this video it was totally wrong.
England is famous for fat, ugly whorish women.
-Where is Spain?
- .. .. In Mexico?
Lol. People should know at least basic geography. Once I watched some dude, walking the London streets and asking the people, mainly teens, simple, basic questions. Like, how many continents are there? One girl, about the age of 15-16, answered the question by asking what a continent is. Mind-numbing. The others were giving their best, yet noone answered the question correctly! It was the same with the other questions. It was really bad. Those kids were so ignorant and illeterate.
okay russian bot
Elliot el aventurero, a la mayoria de los españoles les gusta america, no tanto los britanicos.
Desde cuando no ves a kerry?
Los españoles no le gusta cuando los americanos siempre hablan de raza o cuando los americanos no son conscientes de su historia con Espana y la guerra de independencia.. aparte de eso, somos muy amigos.. y no he visto travel Addict guy desde enero, cuando el se fue al norte de Europa
@@AdventureElliot bueno, no nos gusta que nos traten como a mexicanos, jajaajajaja.
Kerry esta en Polonia, ve a verle!!!! El invierno polaco, un infierno ......suerte que estas en malaga
Tengo entendido que el americano es un poco más amable que el británico y el canadiense más simpático que el americano
A complete cliché and cultural stereotype.
Es que mi hermana vivió en Londres y lo vivió asi
@@haricedres London is not 'Britain'. It's the largest city in Europe and has its own way of life.
Londres "no" forma parte de Gran Bretaña? Ahora me entero
@@welshtoro3256 Isn’t London a Muslim city now?
I am curious, do the Spaniards think the same of Americans from All regions of the U.S. ? Do they know what region of the U.S. a particular person is from that they meet ? Can they tell even if an American is from a big city or maybe the countryside ? , West cost vs East coast ?, Mountains or Midwest ? Swamps or the Desert ? Do Americans have to have this intracate knowledge of Spaniards to be considered culturally "intelligent " in their eyes ?
The vast majority, as evidenced in this video, know nothing about that and I speak with a great deal of experience. You can see from my comments throughout this post how I detest such crass generalisations.
@@welshtoro3256 What you have shown is that you hate Spain and the Spanish. Married to a Nekane who cuts her hair with an ax
Most don’t differentiate like that. We think you’re all trash.
hahaha football fans in USA the European dude said....well.....their soccer fans end lives of referees so there's that.
Zum Glück hast du sie nicht über uns Deutsche befragt. (Fortunately, you didn't ask them about us Germans) 😅😂
Haha, Germans only have a bad reputation in the balearic islands 😉
Los americanos hablan mucho mejor español que los ingleses.
Todos practicando su ingles, impuesto por intereses económicos de UK y USA, puaj. ¿Por que no se impulsa un idioma neutral y artificial como el esperanto u otro que sea sencillo aprender?
Por qué se impone el inglés en los colegios del mundo y no se busca enseñar uno artificial y neutro como el esperanto?
Por qué los ingleses no necesitan dedicar tiempo a estudiar un segundo idioma?
No crees que esto es injusto?
Creo que solo los anglosajones buscan el interés propio.
@ ismaelmad1, many British people speak other languages
@@princebuster93 jajaja mientes descaradamente. Incluso viviendo en países donde no se habla inglés.
Además que os aprovecháis de la demanda que hay de profesores de inglés nativos.
Malaga has changed,its livier
Avoid people who drink a lot. They are ill disciplined, and they can do things which you would not like and whine about doing so later.
The 2 gay guys on 13:45 are the only ones that love american guys y como dijo el del 13:41 they want to use " la unica arma" to sword fight the americans..😂😂😂😂
Hey!…..Canada EH! 🇨🇦
Its strange back in the day most spaniards didnt speak English,so you really had a chance to speak and practice Spanish.i don't like this new generation of English fluent Spaniards 😅
The lads in Hawaiian shirts lol
Viva ed capitadizmo! Viva ed capitadizmo! 🤣
I would ask the Spaniards what major company was created in Spain that has impacted the world? What innovation have they created? HHHmmmm....
Are you aware that it was the Spanish King and Queen who financed Christopher Columbus and his voyage to America?
And I would ask you how companies like Facebook or Instagram have impacted the current direction of the world, youth or intelligence.
these are good and spanian is good aswell .
i hate the language of spain. like you drop metal screws in a dryer.
Why don’t you tell us what your languaje is? I guess is one of those “I have something stuck in my throath “ languajes😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@rsn7847 my language is dutch. nothing special about it.
Z!
It’s easy to criticize people instead of helping them see and be the things you want them to see and be. There’s plenty of middle America in any country. Be the change you want to see.
La cultura sólo interesa a las minorías , aquí y en todo el mundo. Pero....un francés , alemán, ruso o japonés sabe más de España que un norteamericano, gringo. 😊
Mentiras
Quizás por el sistema de educación, donde en europa estudian más geografía (eso está bien eh) y por tener un continente mucho más diverso.
Bueno MorAcro I would certainly say we’re the exception .. have you seen Americans getting roasted on tik tok and Reddit? It’s bad 😂
@@AdventureElliot no lo vi, es la verdad estamos el “exception”. Estuve estudiando en granada, literatura espanola de siglo XX, cine espanol, estudios islamicos, y lenguaje y cultura espanola. No lo creo que rusos y japones esten tan educado sobre paises muy lejos. El mundo es grande, y la vida corta.
@@AdventureElliot in Chicago they did not have us learn vosotros tenses because “they only use it in Spain” :p
That was laughable at best.
Kid with the pink hat overly negative 👎
