This is What I Dislike about the USA (after living in Europe)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- Expats normally get the chance to see their country in a very different light. In America, we have problems with consumerism, gun violence, racism, the homeless and so much more. Life in the US and Europe is extremely different.
This is how I see the USA after living in Spain for 4 years. Sometimes it takes traveling to a new place to truly understand the pros and cons of home. There are things I love and dislike about the US. I decided to share my opinions and experiences!

Como España no hay nada en el mundo.
Yo vivo en Sevilla y se lo que digo.
Gracias por defender nuestra cultura y nuestra patria que ya también es algo tuya
Un abrazo
@@antoniocanomunoz1904 España es un país muy especial ❤️
Education, education and education. Traveling and living experiences in other countries is also essential
@@salvaferrer4574 absolutely agree with you!! I believe the education system is changing now, but it’s always been very US-centered with very little importance put on international relations, geography, etc.
Great video! It's so interesting and I think that all countries can be better, but need people like u that talk about the things that sometimes are not too good.
Hi! I think visiting new places helps you realize what’s wrong with your own country 😅 we can always learn from other cultures!
I'm a Black female in the US and boy oh boy the tales I could tell especially when I was in college in the early 90's you wouldn't believe it if I told you 🙆🏿♀️
@@eyeah4511 I can’t even imagine 😟 our country has so many issues girl…
@@emlanguages Yes it does!!
I know this is a controversial topic 😅
What do you think about the USA?
Sobre USA opino que el 99% de las guerras en el planeta las han provocado o promovido USA, más que una opinión es una demostración empírica, como lo es que USA existe sobre el gran cementerio de la nación indígena nativa a los que exterminaron de forma genocida y programada, USA es el cáncer del mundo, y no es una opinión sino una certeza, ojalá pudiese tener una idea completamente distinta de USA, pero no puedo porque es imposible. PD: es la idea que tengo sobre USA en general y como entidad política y social, sobre las personas no se puede generalizar porque sería injusto, cada persona es un mundo, la presentadora de este canal me parece encantadora y muy agradable, espero que se encuentre comoda y feliz en España, aquí nadie se va a extrañar de que sea "muy inteligente para ser mejicana" más bien es lo normal: qué precisamente por ser mexicana sea muy inteligente porque tiene dos culturas muy ricas y valiosas: la hispana penínsular (con toda la riqueza de su historia ancestral) y la hispana americana (con toda la sabiduría de su pasado precolombino). Ese profesor gringo tuyo era un semi salvaje y un bárbaro, igual que sus ancestros por los siglos de los siglos.
People are to extreme and self centered.
@@leonlagrey agreed!
OMG, Emma. Your story breaks my heart. I was nearly driven to tears watching this video.
You certainly didn't deserve the treatment you received from that neighbor. (Imagine her reaction if you were black!).
Your views on life here in the U.S. are entirely spot-on.
(I'm actually looking to relocate soon, possibly to Portugal).
You are wise beyond your years. Perhaps living in Europe contributed to this. Maybe it was your parents. Whatever the case, I just want to wish you success in every area of your life.
And thank you for making this video.
@@MarvelousMusic1 thank you for your kind words, Marvin. It reminds me that so many people are going through it in the US and the best thing we can do it keep traveling and bringing those lessons back home with us.
Portugal is a beautiful country, what made you choose it as opposed to any other in the EU?
@emlanguages Portugal is highly recommended for its beauty, diversity and low cost of living.
So many people of color have found Portugal to be more welcoming than the U.S. has ever been.
I would like to encourage you to "keep on keeping on", and continue to be the kind, compassionate person you are.
This world needs more people like you.
you're video is awesome and iam new in english and iam very happy because i can understand you and i loved your channel 😊
I’m happy to hear that! Keep studying Hazem 👏📚
@@emlanguages iam happy 'cuz you responded on me 😊
Buenas guapa! Si en la Unión Europea a alguien se le ocurre mandar ese tipo de mensajitos rápidamente se enfrentaría a una multa de proporciones épicas. Aquí no se puede hacer publicidad indiscriminada y menos aún publicidad política.
@@jlcm4308 eso es lo que me gusta de aquí!! Protegen a los ciudadanos, no como en USA donde todo se puede vender (incluso los datos y la privacidad). Es una pena
Gracias por hablar bien de mi (y tú) país. He visto varios videos tuyos y siempre he dicho "¡Ummm!, chica interesante", pero cuando aquí has comentado tu origen, dije "¡genial!, la guinda del pastel". Como por abajo preguntas sobre que opinamos sobre los EEUU, pues te comento que nunca he estado allí, pero que habrá de todo, como en botica. Geográficamente, y por lo que veo, debe de ser una belleza, y si estás tu allí, ya ni te digo. Un saludo desde Sevilla.
@@unoquedicecosas1625 siii es verdad que hay de todo en usa, paisajes muy bonitos! Pero nada se compara al encanto que tiene España
As the great American writer Mark Twain once said: "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness."
Eres una chica inteligente, interesante, culturalmente “sobrada”, amorosa y en general todos los adjetivos que se pueden aplicar a una” buena persona”. Vivo en Granada y me haces sentir que no todos los EEUU son un poco torpes. Enhorabuena por ser tan agradable. Besos 😘
@@manolorv10 muchas gracias 🥹 un saludo!
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
"The Innocents Abroad" By Mark Twain
@@TommyGee-fr7nh wise words from a wise man.
Very good. Take on your video even though you didn't mean to go off, I will tell you that things have gone out of control for way too long is that there's no one fit solution to anything at this point thr gun violence has gotten outta hand. While you were in Seville, I will tell you that I was in San Sebastian last month for 2 days and I enjoyed my time over there. The people were great even though I didn't get to spend more time in Spain and I wish I did but man it made me want to explore more into the country more, The way I see it the United States is not going to get any better. Definitely the propaganda is strong and what you said about the mistrust of people.... American society have gotten.... So rotten, Even though I lived in the United States for so long, I don't consider it my home
@@leonlagrey where are you from Leon? I also don’t feel like the US is 100% my home, even though I was born and raised there. Too many issues, people are very distant and cold. Come to Spain more often to soak up the warmth of people ☀️
Were you actually on her property or admiring her property from the public sidewalk or street it makes a difference.
@@afaria6173 we were admiring from the public sidewalk
Yes, is an controversial topic but, you're saying true, I went to USA last month and I needed to take the bus to move, because the long distances hahaha
Yes! Literally you have to take the car everywhere because of the distances 🥲 thanks for the comment!
Love this video. I agree there is a great amount of improvement that can be had in the areas that you mentioned. America's bad habits boil down to greed, fear, and ignorance.
Absolutely! And it’s hard to recognize that unless you get out of your comfort zone, travel abroad, or interact with people from different cultures. Unfortunately, I feel that many Americans don’t do that, which is why there’s so much ignorance.
muy buen video
individualismo , capitalismo acérrimo, materialismo, falta de humanidad, falta de empatía, egoismo sobre todo, miedo a lo diferente. Has hecho muy bien en viajar y en no dejarte abducir por toda esa porquería, me alegro de que seas feliz en España , pasate por Valencia donde yo vivo y verás que ciudad mas preciosa. Saludos.
@@artxxx7832 has conocido a EEUU? Desafortunadamente todas esas cualidades vuelve a la gente cada vez más distante y desconfiada, por eso muchos son muy fríos ahí. Amo a España, me parece un país muy especial y con gente maravillosa. Hace años conocí Valencia, me encantaría volver algún día!
Entre el sueño americano y la siesta española me quedo con el hedonismo griego.
Para nosotros los venezolanos una persona en 15 minutos de puede convertir en tu mejor amigo jajaja, a pesar de la situación de América latina nosotros podemos decir que somos personas muy cálidas, sobre todo con los extranjeros
Hola Jose! Me parece una cualidad súper bonita! Desafortunadamente aquí tarda más tiempo hacer amigos 🥲 pero también depende de la personalidad de cada uno. Saludos ✌️
I cannot believe the issue with the propaganda messages. In germany this would not be possible.
@@AnnetteLudke-je5ll in Spain this would never happen either! Just another benefit of the EU - data protection…
I was about to write the same.
And it shows how smart Emma is to immediately detect it as propaganda and spam. (not to say: brainwashing)
No matter which country ... but leave your own bubble for a while to get a different - and more critical - view.
The US fear of neighbours is mind boggling. A new neighbour moved to my town. The first time I saw him was in my garage when I just was coming home from work. With other neighbours they all cleaned my garage after a minor high water issue. How nice! Then we had a couple of beers.
The next time - when he needs a helping hand - I´m surely glad to help him.
I moved a couple of times, big cities, country side ... it always was like this. For sure sometimes oneself has to do the first step.
I want out but in today's world, that's an easy fantasy that is very difficult to pull off in reality.
@@user-kz5cw2gj3w and I thinking running from the reality doesn’t help either 🙁
La "leyenda negra Española" resolvera tooooodas tus dudus señorita creeme porfavor,mas si tienes raices mejicanas (ahora entiendo porque eres tan guapa)y porque no encajas en ese mundo anglosajon.Saludos desde España

What people work for is theirs, not yours. Having the American flag on their private property was patriotic and apparently they are proud to be an American .They kicked off their property because you are a stranger on -their-property. It has absolutely nothing to with race or you being Mexican. People that work hard in this country and obtain a comfortable lifestyle doesn't owe you anything. Understand that I am not a patriotic American, but many of your views are like of a teenager.
me, me , me , me me......
@@blindfoldsanddaggers5350 I wasn’t actually on their property, we were on the public sidewalk. People all around the world work hard for what they have, not only in the USA. No need to be rude and greedy.
Debería usted salir un poquito de su pequeño mundo y observar cómo se vive en otros países. Por cierto, la chica ha aclarado qué no entró en la propiedad de esa señora, estaba en una vía pública, simplemente estaba admirando la decoración de su patio, qué podría temer esa mujer ? Qué robase sus decoraciones con los ojos? Perdone pero el que suena un poquito ridículo es usted , creo que no ha comprendido el vídeo. La amabilidad no cuesta dinero . El respeto, la educación y la amabilidad, son gratis, simplemente hay que hacer uso de ellas . Me da tristeza que las personas vivan con tanto miedo al resto de seres humanos . En Córdoba ( España) , durante el mes de mayo, muchas personas abren sus patios cubiertos de flores y plantas al público , compartiendo esa belleza y son felices de los visitantes que reciben. Debería usted buscar en Google fotos de dichos patios, creo que comprendería usted lo diferente que se puede ver la vida en otros lugares. Mark Twain dejó una preciosa cita al respecto, está usted lleno de prejuicios e ideas preconcebidas....
@@emlanguages Yes, I agree . 🙋
Sin embargo muchos de tus puntos de vista son los de una persona poco leida, que ha viajado poco, incapaz de entender que existe mas mundo mas allá de donde el vive, que no se puede trabajar para vivir sino vivir para trabajar, y que tener muchas banderas no te hace mejor sino que probablemente sea un claro signo de fascismo, intolerancia a lo ajeno y miedo a lo diferente por un mejor anquilosamiento mental y falta de flexibilidad a la hora de razonar.
