If by Latinas you mean mixed race USA residents, sure. In many Hsipanic American countries they rarely use perfect tenses, and in some case they tend to use subjunctives in a non-standart way that would make the Real Academia (Before it went to shit) frown. Apart from that, thery are golden.
I took a Spanish class too and it did help me a lot. However I kept me being a Spanish speaker a secret from my teacher since he was harder on the students who already spoke Spanish. So not only was the class easy I also learned a lot without any of the stress.
@@scribbles3721well yes, you have to learn how to spell, write, read, use tensing correctly understand the role of nouns, adverbs, adjectives, verbs, etc. And we learnt new words through spelling tests, grammar rules, etc. (at least what I did in English, it was not just literature, but I don't live in the US (I'm 🇦🇺))
Yea but we take those classes because the government wanted to create welfare for white women who majored in English. We don’t really need to English classes past the 5th grade but it’s basically welfare for white women with masters degrees in English (the language we all speak in America)
@jerichocain9810 normally amd English person taking English is to write....books etc. But I love how she is taking Spanish as she really is trying to be proud of her heritage.
@camvin575 I appreciate her effort also but we start taking English classes pretty much grade one. You take advanced courses on College to learn how to write books but the basics are taught all the way from the beginning to 12th grade. The early years help form the ground base for proper speaking and communication.
I came to say this, and that many of the English speakers who ask a question like this, probably didn't make very good grades in *their* language class.
I took Spanish since middle school because I had to work in High School and It helped me advance with 5 credits because I passed with flying colors. It was an aerobic experience perfecting my Spanish. It helped me later on in life. I would interact with the most prestigious clients, and their Spanish was beyond elegant.
Mexican spanish can go from the most appropriate and elegant to that one full of so different bad words so colorful and funny 😂😂😂❤️ (i can be perfectly both)
Good for you 👍 I did the same with English in Mexico and I also took privet classes at a school in my hometown. By 11th grade I was invited by Cape Elizabeth High school in the State of Maine, to be an exchange student. The privet school had exchange programs. I was very lucky to be chosen to do my Senior year in USA living with an adorable family with two brothers and a sister. I will be forever grateful with this family. I kept attending English School when I went back to Mexico during University, and as it happened to you with your Spanish helping your future career, it happened to me because with the level of my English and being able to speak it fluidly I got a job with Ford Motor Co at an engine assembly plant in my hometown Chihuahua City, six months before I finished my Industrial Engineer degree. I still work at this plant and I learned a lot of technical terms in English and speaking English is an everyday challenge. It definitely helped to have an American High school diploma when I had the interview for the job. 👍

My husband is from India. I thought I spoke Hindi until I met his sister who teaches Hindi. Apparently I speak Mumbai street (a.k.a. slum) slang because that's the Hindi you learn when you learn Hindi from "Bollywood" movies.
this is true, when mother tongue (visayan language) class was introduced in my country for the children to learn. everyone and their mother were having a hard time. we never realized that most of our every day conversational words were just slangs or just spanish words used as slangs. i don't even know how to count numbers in my own mother language because it was never taught in my time in school, apparently i only know english, tagalog and spanish. it was eye awakening to find out from attempting to help my, at that time, 6 year cousins their homeworks how little i knew about my mother tongue due to it being never taught us in school until much later.
When you grow up in the ghetto or southern of US, it's the same way. Turns out that weekdays are not, in fact, spelt "Sundee, Mondee, Tuesdee, Wensdee, Thursdee, Fridee, Saturdee." I had to relearn how to spell wimmin, aka women. And so many other words. Then when you combine growing up southern with growing up in the ghetto, then even flavors become color slang; except Orange. Cause it's the same both ways. And words like "ain't no" are a double negative. It's now my fun lil one up on my homophobic family that go "I ain't no gay." Because they literally sayin' "I gay." But frfr, knowing slang is fine, but proper language, spelling, and pronunciation needs to be taught too; especially before the habit is so ingrained that education ends up offending.
As a Puerto Rican, Spanish class taught me the "proper" Spanish which has helped in situations I had to translate to Hispanics from central America and Mexico. Our Spanish is very different
Cierto en puerto rico lamentablemente se usan muchos anglicismos que en otras partes no usamos... pero es normal por la influencia anglosajona.... Spanglish 🤷
speaking a language and speaking it PROPERLY are two different things. As a language teacher myself, I always encourage people to follow grammar rules and expand their vocabulary :) Nothing sexier than a well-spoken person

I mean, I'm American through and through, and English classes helped me a lot. Makes sense that a Spanish class could help someone who natively speaks it. Helps you understand more of your own language.
Unfortunately you missed the joke there are two types of Spanish. There’s a Mexican, speaking Spanish an a Spain, Spanish, and they are very different when you speak them most classes in the US are taught the Spain Spanish not the Mexican variation even tho we’re closer to that version, This is why it’s so confusing to native Mexican Spanish speakers, it’s like the British version of English in America not the same at all 🤣
@@MeTaLISaWeSoMe95 how exactly, yes this would help a Spanish speaking person, if it’s the Spanish that they speak natively at home If not it’s just confusing as hell and frustrating🤣 I think you missed the point it’s not the same just because there both Spanish, a good example is I would never attempt to go to Spain and try to speak Spanish because I only know the Mexican variation of Spanish, and I would look dumb as hell if I tried bc it’s not the same 🤣🤣🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@@lillybrunner4626 actually no, there's no only 2 types of spanish, unfortunately every hispanic country has their own way to say things, for example im from costa rica and sometimes i don't understand some things of Colombian people, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Argentina, Venezuela and many countries. Spanish from Spain and Mexico is very popular but no, there are more types of Spanish, that's why is important to choose one type of Spanish when you want to learn you won't learn all of them (unless you want to)
I took Spanish in college. It was taught as they speak in Spain. The native Spanish speakers from Mexico/ the Americas spent the semester telling me " nobody actually talks like this.." 😆😆
It's simple to explain..... It's similar like social network.... The majority has the reason, and the majority Spanish Speakers is México 😉 In English lenguage the Majority is USA, period.😉
Especially because in spain, the verbs are different ¿???? Idk how to explain it, but the verbs and some pronouns are said differently in Spain, then most of latin america speak similarly except for colloquial chilean dialects and argentinian/uruguayan people because we also conjugate verbs differently and use all different pronouns lol. I used to have an English teacher, and he was sent to Germany to teach the kids Spanish. He said that there was a kid who already knew some Spanish, but he learnt with a Spanish dialect/accent, but my teacher couldn't really teach them a dialect that is not his so he did his best to teach them a very neutral form of rioplatense spanish lol
My boyfriends mom and I are duolingo buddies. She was raised a first-generation Mexican American who grew up speaking and hearing Spanish in her house her entire life in a predominantly hispanic town... And she still struggles with the lessons 😂 languages are crazy!!
Probably because your answers also often depend on how well you can translate it in English, so she would obviously struggle with that aspect if she uses Spanish way more than English.
@karcavida Well, she's grown up speaking both English and Spanish fluently, so it's not that she has trouble with the translation exactly. She's explained it as similar to what the girl in the video is saying, where it's functional Spanish and slang Spanish that she's used throughout her life, not the European Spanish that most language apps and Spanish classes use/teach.
Most English speakers suck hard at the formal grammatical rules - the rules themselves even suck because English speakers have sucked at following their lwn language's rules for so long 😂
@@karcavida3250 the thing is i was familiarized with english since little ( yes I'm a ss tablet kid, now I'm 16 and have an addiction) so i basically talked to myself in English as there were no other english speaking environments outside of school or extra classes. Even till today i sometime struggle with translation as i just know them as words since little. And yes thank god i got into a class for it because if not my grammar and speaking would be upper mid but i would be ignorant as hell. I was considered a golden child by my relatives but now they are more relaxed.
@@katrabbit Doulingo translation is not real translation. I tried my native language for fun and saw it myself. Duolingo most of the time accepts only one type of translation. If the given example is This is an apple, you should translate it that way. It doesn't matter in my native language (Turkish) we drop the a article? whatever that is and it sounds awkaward af to my native ears, if you drop the number while translating, Duolingo marks it as wrong. Duolingo is kinda problematic

Spanish speaker from a Spanish speaking country here. There are a lot of rules you're not taught, and won't learn, unless it's from a academical source. Even as an adult, I see many adult friends make glaring mistakes in text messages, emails, etc. I guess it's the same with every language.

What many people don't realize is that you learn Spanish at home but you don't learn some things such as rules of grammar, authors in Spanish, or cultural characters; if you're from Mexico think Macario or Marcelino Pan y Vino. These are things your parents expect you to learn at school which is why you would need to take classes like Native Spanish or Spanish for Native Speakers. Fortunately, our high school Spanish teacher had immigrated from Mexico where she was a former school teacher.
I went to high school in Texas. Half the kids in my advanced Spanish classes were Mexicans. Very grateful because it improved the overall level of the class.
I had two Spanish teachers in high school. One was Spain from Spain, the other was Argentinian. The difference in pronunciation, grammar, word meaning and culture from taking one class to another was eye opening to someone learning a foreign language.
Mine was from Mexico and he barely knew English, when our teacher came back from exchange he was more of a hard ass than the Mexican guy. He was a local white old man and grew up with his son. Like man chill
As an argentinian im vry proud that there are actually people from argentina living in the USA! I only found a few and people said i was way to obsessed with my country
My spanish teachers were Filipinos like me, native spanish teachers are teaching in a very known school here in the Philippines and it is very expensive.
I took Spanish for native speakers in high school. So fun and improved my Spanish grammar since, I only would write in English 90% of the time. The teacher was also very cool. We would call each other our Spanish nicknames.
I am a Spanish teacher from Spain, and I worked in the Midwest for a few years. I have to say I am very open to accepting different possible answers for the same concept, and I always tell my students (ESPECIALLY heritage speakers): "I can only teach you MY version of Spanish. I'm aware there are other varieties and if I find a word you used that's out of my range in a writing, I'll just look it up to check". The problem with learners of a different language, though, mainly consists of the inconsistencies among different varieties. Just like I learned British English and then I moved to America, my English ended up as a convoluted mess. That's what I, as a Spanish teacher, try to make my students understand. I can't speak for other teachers, since I'm also aware of the snobbish attitude of "Castilian Spanish being the purest and the best for learners". Not all teachers are like that, though. I hope this helps to give a bit of a different perspective, Ana! Love your videos, they're super funny! ❤️
I remember my Spanish teacher in high school knew Mexican spanish (or at least, I think that’s the version of spanish she was most familiar with) but our textbook made a point of using different country’s dialects for each chapter of vocabulary we learned. And so she was always telling us of as many differences she knew about or warning us if a word that the textbook uses would actually be an offensive word in some regions or slang. For example, I think our text only used pluma for pen and so our teacher told us about bolígrafo as well. However, if I’m remembering correctly I think most of the Spanish we learned was the Mexican, Central, and South American versions and little was directly from Spain.
Going into high school my teachers(well actually the state) made each person decide on one version of english (british or american) which we had to stick to. If we interchanged them it was considered a mistake. In the years prior we had entire chapters dedicated to the differences. I really enjoyed that approach cuz it prevents confusing when speaking to native speakers, but enabled those of us who learned from family and tv/books/media to not have to change dialect.
Well Spanish and English is not my native language but here is a tip since I've learnt both of them, try keeping it basic by avoiding synonym and antonym when it comes to speaking when it comes to writing use the above with pristineness.
Awww, I wish you were my Spanish college prof lol. He said our use of "usted" was so "backward", he managed to anger every Spanish-speaker from the Americas at once ;^ v ^;
I'm Filipino, and in the Philippines, I failed my Filipino class LMAO. It's true. It may be a native language or something you talk with every day, but you don't realize that you're actually bad at it until you get to class.
Nuh uh. Not true. It all depends on your Spanish goals : Is it just for informal conversational purposes? Business? Academia? Travel? All have varying degrees of difficulty.
For real, my middle school spanish teacher admitted "I don't know how I got this job I barely know any spanish" and would have the Mexican kids in the class come up and teach us 😅 found out later she and her husband ended up getting arrested for drugging and raping kids during "after school study sessions" 😧
I was a refugee lawyer. Good translators blow my mind. Simultaneous translation is even more ridiculous. Bad ones can cost lives. Congrats on finding such a fulfilling helping career. 👍

Like with many things, if people would just use common words for these categories, everything would be easier to understand. When they say 'perfect' it does not mean like the redhead we are watching, it just means the action is complete. So why don't they just say that.
I took Italian and a girl in my class wanted to be able to communicate better with some of her family which is why she took it. When a substitute asked her why she takes Italian if she knows it, she slowly looked up from her work like "... English is mandatory and we all speak it don't we?" With the most dumbfounded look on her face. Sub was embarrassed
Sub shouldn't be. The level of those classes, if she's taking it to be able to communicate cause she currently struggles, is different. She doesn't "know" Italian, she knows *some* Italian. Very different.
@@moonshinershonor202 i took that class in high school and learned nothing because for some reason we had a different teacher each year, sometimes multiple different teachers. Each of whom insisted the previous teacher didn't know Jack shit and would start us over completely. The class was an utter hot mess. So I really have no clue what this says sorry
That "güey" joke is SUPER great - I learned Spanish from my Paraguayan wife and they don't say that, so when I learned it was a Mexican phrase (that _beautifully_ filled that specific need for a word for "cool") I started using it all the time when on tour in Spain I gotta tell you, there's no equivalent for the look on an Iberian person's face than when you speak their language kinda badly, but with _voseo_ from the heart of South America AND Mexican slang - es una diversión que es totalmente única 😂
It does not mean cool in mexico 😭 It means "dude", "bro", "man" or even "dumbass" in some contexts ("estás bien güey" = you're so dumb). If someone just says "ay, wey" it means "oh damn" when something is shocking, especially in a negative way. You're thinking of "güay", which is also not "cool" in Mexico, but in Spain For mexican slang for "cool", try "chido", "chingón", "ahuevo" (it's an expression, not an adjective) or the ever-vulgar but ever-popular "está bien vergas" (literally: "it's very dicks")
It doesnt seem like she's a native speaker though since she said she barely knew present tense so it seems she learned a bit too late in her childhood. A native speaker would be someone whos taught it from birth. Also notice how she said 'heritage speakers' when refereing to people like her.
I liked a lot of my Spanish teachers because they recognized that the curriculum wasn’t on par with reality and threw in other things. There was never a fight because it’s hard to be wrong about your own language and Spanish has soooo many dialects
In the Navy, we had a few Native Spanish speakers. One day they got into an argument over a word that apparently means 'cat' but has a connotation of being bad, good, evil, derogatory depending on which Spanish speaking country you come from. We had a Chief who looked like Ned Flanders, he was from Toledo and these guys are near riot over their disagreement on what the Spanish word 'Cat' means... and the Chief walks into the hallway and yells in perfect Spanish at the group. Everyone is stunned. One of the guys says "How do you know Spanish?" "I'm from Toledo!" ....we all thought 'Toledo Ohio'..... turns out, it was the other Toledo and he had a PhD in Spanish Lit from Salamanca.
I learned Spanish from my Puerto Rican family and then lived in Mexico for a few months. Accidentally told like 35 Mexican kids I was going to try to fuck them while explaining the game Sharks vs Minnows bc in Puerto Rico “coger” means “to catch/grab”, but in Mexico (and most of Latin America) it’s slang for “to fuck”😳🤦🏼♀️
@@Kilovotis It's not. Here in Argentina "coger" means "to fuck". And iirc, it's the same in most of Latin America. The use of "coger" as "grab" is usually related to the way Spanish people speak Spanish. Just today I found out Puerto Ricans use it the same way lol
I took Spanish for 3 years in high school. At the end of three years we get to go to a Cinco de Mayo festival in Miami to practice our "conversational" Spanish. At least that's what our Spanish teacher and the PE coach told us. When we got to the festival we were listening to the people talk and we tried our Spanish on some of them. They looked at us like we were half crazy. When we went back and everybody was telling the Spanish teacher that nobody could understand us; when we talked to them in Spanish. She said because they are speaking in a Cuban dialect and just speak English. Her and the PE coach walked off saying they were going to a restaurant to grab some lunch. They will be around if we need them. We did not see them again until 6:30 that evening. 😂
Lol... I don't understand why in America they don't start teaching another language when kids are in elementary. Bit instead they throw them into a Spanish class when they are in High School, like here you go you should already know everything and then give them a bad grade because they can't speak it. Ridiculous.

I had a classmate in high school Spanish that spoke Spanish as her first language. I thought she was just taking the class for an easy A. Until one day the teacher asked her to do some reading, and she had to sound out the words like a little kid. Turns out she spoke Spanish fluently because that's what she spoke at home, but had never had Spanish books or anything and didn't know how to read or write it.
I mean it’s the same reason why American students take English glass. It’s not really about learning to speak the language, but more about the literature and comprehension of books/essays.
Exactly. Also, if you need to understand why a native Spanish speaker needs Spanish class, just go on any social media and read people's comments. Many of those people took English classes and still bastardize the language.
It tends to happen alot at home they tend to learn how to speak the language but most of the time don't practice reading or writing. I grew up in an Hispanic household but my English reading and writing skills far surpass my Spanish ones i can speak both very fluently though.
Haha I took Spanish and had a native Spanish speaker helping me. I'd do the work and then some things would be wrong. So the teacher explained it and then I would tell him. He said one time "nobody speaks like that. If you go down south and start talking like that, someone's going to think you are really dumb". It was great 😂
I'm not even joking when I first moved to the US, Spanish class was the only time I could consistently and casually speak my native language. It helped me so much, plus it was an easy A
As a Spaniard/Castillian with a Mexican boyfriend: There's SO MANY differences in the way we speak!!! I love learning them with my partner though, gives us some fun moments in conversation
Its the same with me and french coming from a french family. Unfortunately french taught in schools sucks ass and french ppl are super rude to ppl learning the language/arent fluent 😔
Then I have got luck... I didn't understand how I do it, but I got an A.. also some people from french and other countries told me I do it pretty nice... I was expecting the typical.. what did u say???

She would either do that or teach us both words if they were ones that were used pretty interchangeably. She had to google some words too bc she didn't realize that was even the word for them.
I take a Spanish for Spanish speakers class and it has honestly helped my vocabulary and grammar a lot! It’s my first language but I immigrated when I was 6 so there’s some technicalities I didn’t know or I’m still learning so I totally agree with you. And the plus side with the Spanish speakers class is that the teacher understands that we all have kind of different dialects based on where we come from. She’s honestly the sweetest teacher too and it’s high school honors
I’m Dominican Puerto Rican and there are words that I can’t say to my Dominican mom that can say to my Puerto Rican dad and vice versa. I’ve come to understand that Spanish depending on location is influenced by different languages and in my eyes it feels like a different language at times which is always fun.
Yes! I once had a Mexican coworker who I was training, and one day we took a call from Spanish-speaker, but there was a word he used that she wasn’t familiar with because he was like PR. So interesting
i forgot how to say "bus" to a puerto rican but isn't it something similar to "umbrella"? there's just some slang that was so odd to me for Puerto rico. I'm most comfortable with what i call D.F. spanish, the kind the bilingual telemundo news anchors use. but to be honest, that would be an interesting accent to mix Puerto rican and Dominican since Dominicans are considered like the "new york" speakers in spanish. i picked up on spanish alot faster hanging around Dominicans than northern mexicans, no offense to anyone. Dominicans use more consonants, at least in my opinion.
Slightly related: I learned more about grammar, sentence structure, and conjugation of verbs in Spanish than I did in English and as a result, learning Spanish helped me understand English better. Lol For example in Enlgish, I knew that verbs were different depending on the subject. But I didn't understand why. Learning to conjugate in Spanish helped me understand so much better.
I took a Spanish class where our teacher specified that there were differences between Spanish speakers. She didn't expect the Spanish speakers in her class to follow all of the same rules, but she would sit and talk with them about the grammar and such of their way of speaking to better help them.

@camvin575 I appreciate her effort also but we start taking English classes pretty much grade one. You take advanced courses on College to learn how to write books but the basics are taught all the way from the beginning to 12th grade. The early years help form the ground base for proper speaking and communication.
Thank you!
I came to say this, and that many of the English speakers who ask a question like this, probably didn't make very good grades in *their* language class.
I took Spanish since middle school because I had to work in High School and It helped me advance with 5 credits because I passed with flying colors. It was an aerobic experience perfecting my Spanish. It helped me later on in life. I would interact with the most prestigious clients, and their Spanish was beyond elegant.

I did the same with English in Mexico and I also took privet classes at a school in my hometown.
By 11th grade I was invited by Cape Elizabeth High school in the State of Maine, to be an exchange student. The privet school had exchange programs. I was very lucky to be chosen to do my Senior year in USA living with an adorable family with two brothers and a sister.
I will be forever grateful with this family.
I kept attending English School when I went back to Mexico during University, and as it happened to you with your Spanish helping your future career, it happened to me because with the level of my English and being able to speak it fluidly I got a job with Ford Motor Co at an engine assembly plant in my hometown Chihuahua City, six months before I finished my Industrial Engineer degree.
I still work at this plant and I learned a lot of technical terms in English and speaking English is an everyday challenge.
It definitely helped to have an American High school diploma when I had the interview for the job.

this is true, when mother tongue (visayan language) class was introduced in my country for the children to learn. everyone and their mother were having a hard time. we never realized that most of our every day conversational words were just slangs or just spanish words used as slangs. i don't even know how to count numbers in my own mother language because it was never taught in my time in school, apparently i only know english, tagalog and spanish. it was eye awakening to find out from attempting to help my, at that time, 6 year cousins their homeworks how little i knew about my mother tongue due to it being never taught us in school until much later.
When you grow up in the ghetto or southern of US, it's the same way.
Turns out that weekdays are not, in fact, spelt "Sundee, Mondee, Tuesdee, Wensdee, Thursdee, Fridee, Saturdee."
I had to relearn how to spell wimmin, aka women.
And so many other words.
Then when you combine growing up southern with growing up in the ghetto, then even flavors become color slang; except Orange. Cause it's the same both ways.
And words like "ain't no" are a double negative.
It's now my fun lil one up on my homophobic family that go "I ain't no gay."
Because they literally sayin' "I gay."
But frfr, knowing slang is fine, but proper language, spelling, and pronunciation needs to be taught too; especially before the habit is so ingrained that education ends up offending.

Unfortunately you missed the joke there are two types of Spanish. There’s a Mexican, speaking Spanish an a Spain, Spanish, and they are very different when you speak them most classes in the US are taught the Spain Spanish not the Mexican variation even tho we’re closer to that version, This is why it’s so confusing to native Mexican Spanish speakers, it’s like the British version of English in America not the same at all 🤣

Probably because your answers also often depend on how well you can translate it in English, so she would obviously struggle with that aspect if she uses Spanish way more than English.
@karcavida Well, she's grown up speaking both English and Spanish fluently, so it's not that she has trouble with the translation exactly. She's explained it as similar to what the girl in the video is saying, where it's functional Spanish and slang Spanish that she's used throughout her life, not the European Spanish that most language apps and Spanish classes use/teach.

What many people don't realize is that you learn Spanish at home but you don't learn some things such as rules of grammar, authors in Spanish, or cultural characters; if you're from Mexico think Macario or Marcelino Pan y Vino.
These are things your parents expect you to learn at school which is why you would need to take classes like Native Spanish or Spanish for Native Speakers. Fortunately, our high school Spanish teacher had immigrated from Mexico where she was a former school teacher.
I went to high school in Texas. Half the kids in my advanced Spanish classes were Mexicans. Very grateful because it improved the overall level of the class.
I had two Spanish teachers in high school. One was Spain from Spain, the other was Argentinian. The difference in pronunciation, grammar, word meaning and culture from taking one class to another was eye opening to someone learning a foreign language.
As an Argentinean with a small passion for linguistics... I LOVE LEARNING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DIFFERENT PLACES SPANISH
Did your teacher from Argentina had the sh sound. Sorry for not using IPA.
Mine was from Mexico and he barely knew English, when our teacher came back from exchange he was more of a hard ass than the Mexican guy. He was a local white old man and grew up with his son. Like man chill

I am a Spanish teacher from Spain, and I worked in the Midwest for a few years. I have to say I am very open to accepting different possible answers for the same concept, and I always tell my students (ESPECIALLY heritage speakers): "I can only teach you MY version of Spanish. I'm aware there are other varieties and if I find a word you used that's out of my range in a writing, I'll just look it up to check". The problem with learners of a different language, though, mainly consists of the inconsistencies among different varieties. Just like I learned British English and then I moved to America, my English ended up as a convoluted mess. That's what I, as a Spanish teacher, try to make my students understand. I can't speak for other teachers, since I'm also aware of the snobbish attitude of "Castilian Spanish being the purest and the best for learners". Not all teachers are like that, though.
I hope this helps to give a bit of a different perspective, Ana! Love your videos, they're super funny! ❤️
I remember my Spanish teacher in high school knew Mexican spanish (or at least, I think that’s the version of spanish she was most familiar with) but our textbook made a point of using different country’s dialects for each chapter of vocabulary we learned. And so she was always telling us of as many differences she knew about or warning us if a word that the textbook uses would actually be an offensive word in some regions or slang. For example, I think our text only used pluma for pen and so our teacher told us about bolígrafo as well. However, if I’m remembering correctly I think most of the Spanish we learned was the Mexican, Central, and South American versions and little was directly from Spain.
Going into high school my teachers(well actually the state) made each person decide on one version of english (british or american) which we had to stick to. If we interchanged them it was considered a mistake. In the years prior we had entire chapters dedicated to the differences. I really enjoyed that approach cuz it prevents confusing when speaking to native speakers, but enabled those of us who learned from family and tv/books/media to not have to change dialect.
Mucho texto, anciana xd

That "güey" joke is SUPER great - I learned Spanish from my Paraguayan wife and they don't say that, so when I learned it was a Mexican phrase (that _beautifully_ filled that specific need for a word for "cool") I started using it all the time when on tour in Spain
I gotta tell you, there's no equivalent for the look on an Iberian person's face than when you speak their language kinda badly, but with _voseo_ from the heart of South America AND Mexican slang - es una diversión que es totalmente única 😂
It does not mean cool in mexico 😭
It means "dude", "bro", "man" or even "dumbass" in some contexts ("estás bien güey" = you're so dumb). If someone just says "ay, wey" it means "oh damn" when something is shocking, especially in a negative way.
You're thinking of "güay", which is also not "cool" in Mexico, but in Spain
For mexican slang for "cool", try "chido", "chingón", "ahuevo" (it's an expression, not an adjective) or the ever-vulgar but ever-popular "está bien vergas" (literally: "it's very dicks")
Actually there is always a lot to learn even if you are a native speaker. So you did very good in attending to Spanish classes ❤

At least that's what our Spanish teacher and the PE coach told us. When we got to the festival we were listening to the people talk and we tried our Spanish on some of them. They looked at us like we were half crazy. When we went back and everybody was telling the Spanish teacher that nobody could understand us; when we talked to them in Spanish.
She said because they are speaking in a Cuban dialect and just speak English.
Her and the PE coach walked off saying they were going to a restaurant to grab some lunch.
They will be around if we need them. We did not see them again until 6:30 that evening. 😂
I think your teachers just wanted to go have a date while on the payroll.
They definitely dropped y'all off there to hook up and used this bullshit as an excuse lmao
Lol... I don't understand why in America they don't start teaching another language when kids are in elementary. Bit instead they throw them into a Spanish class when they are in High School, like here you go you should already know everything and then give them a bad grade because they can't speak it. Ridiculous.
u have luck they are not speeking chileno, as latin and native language spanish I CANT UNDERSTAND CHILENO
@@thelifeofpokenzo5521what's funny is they have no problem teaching kids from spanish speaking homes english, but the other way around absolutely not lol like half the kids there are already doing it, why not include the others? Open communication both ways? Huge missed opportunity imo
I loooove that she speaks louder in Spanish, cause, if you go to Spain, prepare your ears
You have the right inflection. No habla . Just 2 yrs of hs, Forgotten most of it.
I enjoy your videos.
My native speaker friends were being humbled every class
If they were really native speakers as in spent the first few school years in a Spanish speaking country, it was the class that was probably wrong.
@@AGRS22 Teachers are often wrong tbh, especially when it comes to language learning. You can become a language teacher without knowing the language all too well unfortunately.
@@AGRS22 arguable. kids in america take English class for 13 years and still fail it. just because you're a "native speaker" doesn't mean you know everything abt the language
@@bostinobaddog2040 yeah but more often than not english teachers accurately know the language whereas other language teachers such as spanish or french might get things wrong
I was in Spanish For Spanish-Speakers.
It was the best class i ever had
Se agradece
My school had that, turns out only three other students enrolled in it so they just placed me in a normal class
Soy mexicana, vivo en México y las clases de español con todos sus tiempos siguen siendo un enigma...
es la verdad
Asking a latina why are they in a Spanish class is like asking an American why are they taking a English class
I had a classmate in high school Spanish that spoke Spanish as her first language. I thought she was just taking the class for an easy A. Until one day the teacher asked her to do some reading, and she had to sound out the words like a little kid. Turns out she spoke Spanish fluently because that's what she spoke at home, but had never had Spanish books or anything and didn't know how to read or write it.
I mean it’s the same reason why American students take English glass. It’s not really about learning to speak the language, but more about the literature and comprehension of books/essays.
Exactly. Also, if you need to understand why a native Spanish speaker needs Spanish class, just go on any social media and read people's comments. Many of those people took English classes and still bastardize the language.
It tends to happen alot at home they tend to learn how to speak the language but most of the time don't practice reading or writing. I grew up in an Hispanic household but my English reading and writing skills far surpass my Spanish ones i can speak both very fluently though.
my dido spoke about 6-8 languages in varyinng levels of fluency (fully in at least 3) but he could only read ukrainian and english
@@kylethekidable usually its dialect or slang tbf
she is so pretty
Haha I took Spanish and had a native Spanish speaker helping me. I'd do the work and then some things would be wrong. So the teacher explained it and then I would tell him. He said one time "nobody speaks like that. If you go down south and start talking like that, someone's going to think you are really dumb". It was great 😂
You sound so good, speaking Spanish.
I don't know if you r aware, but you personality changes when you speak Spanish. As a spanish speaker I love it.
I'm not even joking when I first moved to the US, Spanish class was the only time I could consistently and casually speak my native language. It helped me so much, plus it was an easy A
They have people test out if you show it too much
As a Spaniard/Castillian with a Mexican boyfriend: There's SO MANY differences in the way we speak!!! I love learning them with my partner though, gives us some fun moments in conversation
Me watching her videos speaking German and English but not one ounce of Spanish.... 😂 love you!!
Girl is exposing the Mexican people that go to Spanish class😅😂
We all speak English, but we got to take English class
That's because "English" is really just grammar and not English language class.
@@comkvermy English class is both grammar and literature/media analysis so no not rlly it depends
@@sakareeh that’s literally every required english class
@@cxffaye nope not in the Philippines.
@@sakareeh what types of english classes do you have there
Its the same with me and french coming from a french family. Unfortunately french taught in schools sucks ass and french ppl are super rude to ppl learning the language/arent fluent 😔
Then I have got luck... I didn't understand how I do it, but I got an A.. also some people from french and other countries told me I do it pretty nice... I was expecting the typical.. what did u say???
I found your videos literally yesterday and I’m already obsessed
I actually corrected the teacher once. She was so nice about it.
That’s why my school has Spanish for natives and just regular Spanish. It’s a win win for everyone.
Edit: Guys stop fighting about regular Spanish. All I mean is like the Spanish they teach Spanish learners not Natives.
I like that approach. Was it like, Spanish for heritage speakers and then "regular" Spanish?
@@LemonJellyJ like how most schools do it regular Spanish as is Spain Spanish
@@MilothesmallToad Do you know what exactly is Spain Spanish lol
@@MilothesmallToad Like what aspects make it "Spain Spanish"? That they teach vosotros? In my own experience, they taught a blend of both, and most teachers were of Latin American origin. Actually, I was told by my teacher that using vosotros is old-fashioned and makes you sound posh, and so she didn't teach it.
@@LemonJellyJ I honestly don’t know, I myself have not taken either. I’ll reply maybe in a year when I take it?
I would always ask my mom for help with my Spanish homework and she would try to explain something but didn’t know how to except for “that’s just how we talk.” And then she would just tell me to ask my aunt for help 😂😂😂
I think I know your true first language, lady LOL
Sress. You're VERY fluent in stress xD con un buen mezcla de payasura! You made me laugh, great video!
I’m obsessed with ur hair it’s so pretty and healthy😍
I'm a native *Canadian* French speaker and even in Canada, where French (the Canadian kind) is an official language, they teach us the France French kind in school. Like jfc it's been 200 years we aren't part of France anymore and we've developed our own dialect. It's so unique in fact that movies are translated into Canadian AND standard French separately, and if I were to speak Canadian French to a France French person they'd have a hard time understanding what I was saying.
You guys from Canada speak a better French than most people in Paris.
What's even more insane is that the French go *hard* when it comes to linguistic purity. Like, they've got *literal* grammar Nazis.
Everybody in the Hispanic world understand eachother. No matter where you comefrom Southamerica, Centralamerica, Europe....Spanish is Spanish everywhere.....But Jennifer Lopez do not speak functional Spanish....she is not a latino. People from Quebec are technically LATINOS. FRENCH COMES FROM LATIN. period.
Well yeah, pretty much everybody deals with that. Americans don't have as many years regional dialects as before, but imagine someone from Boston or Atlanta trying to listen to the BBC. 😂😂😂
I spoke Canadian French when I was younger, and my maiden name was VERY French, so when I went to French class in high school, everyone thought I was gonna get an easy A. That didn't happen, cause even though I had great pronunciation, I had forgotten 90% of it due to not speaking it for 10 years 8'D
I’m Spanish and it doesn’t matter if you speak with Mexican words! The amazing thing about Spanish is how plural it is and how different from one place to another it is. I’m supposed to be a true Spanish castellana, im from Valladolid, but hey my family are from small villages and each one have their words.
Dude your weird
I need to know! What is a good Spanish chorizo?! In Mexico and Texas, San Luis chorizo is top shelf food. 🤠 I like to think yall got some good chorizo recipes, brands over there!
@@moonshinershonor202 the Chorizo we have in Spain is more like cured meat with a bunch of spices, mainly Pimentón (similar to Paprika), and the best one is Chorizo Ibérico (also the most expensive) and Chorizo de León. The Mexican is a blend of minced meat with other spices, but not cured so you need to cook it first.
Spain is such an amazing nation! My mom is Puerto Rican, but she grew up on the mainland, and her parents didn't have her learn Spanish because of racism, which meant I never learned. I'm hoping to learn soon though. Either way, Spain is my favorite country, it's so beautiful, and the culture is amazing!
@@ryanc7210 Why doe? They sone gorram colonizers. I like horchata but it aint worth it b.
Ur Spanish is effin perfect!
I speak Argentine Spanish (or castellano) and all of my Spanish teachers were Mexican, so whenever I would write an essay they would ask to see me after class so I could explain what I wrote. 😂
In middle school I had Spanish, like English class, with Ms. Hitta, who came from Argentina so it was sometimes hard to follow what she was saying. She would in turn sometimes have a hard time with our Mexican Spanish, spoken and written. Question: What is manjar to you?
Rioplatense?
Argentina habla castellano??? Pensaba que solo era en españa xdd
@@a.a131 no se habla castellano pero bue
@@a.a131 Se puede decir que el español es castellano ya que proviene de la lengua que se hablaba en Castilla. Pero no es tan propio ya que es mas descriptivo de el español de España. O posiblemente solamente el de Castilla y Leon?
I'm Mexican and I got a D in that class because they taught Spain Spanish and because Spanish words are sometimes different in different Spanish speaking countries it was always a constant fight props to my 8th grade Spanish teacher he taught us all kinds of Spanish from Mexico, Spain, Colombia and more he was a real one :)
“Que dificil es hablar español” a song that sums up learning spanish while traveling
Your face is like a cartoon, so expresive 😂
Girl I feel your pain. Learning Spanish as a Latina really opens up your world to different levels
Spanish class and speaking Puerto Rican Spanish was a ride.
That sounds like torture bro
My best friend studied abroad in Spain and she was so frustrated because when she started talking to her host family in the broken Spanish she’d grown accustomed to, they were like “no no no, that’s Latin American Spanish. It’s not what we speak here” and she had to relearn a whole language through them slowing repeating stuff until she got it 😂 I couldn’t even imagine.
😂😂 among Spanish speakers we can understand perfectly well , only a few words change. The same happens with American English and British English.
Thats such a lie, very little words change its more about Accents
Im a spaniard lived both here in the us and in spain. So i dont believe your best friends neighbors uncles mailmans story
@@cbs5357 not really. We just have different words we normally use. I had an English teacher from Britain and she wasn't much different than an American English teacher. Her accent was the major difference.
@@cbs5357you're right.
Being cultivated in Spanish means knowing many of the other words they use in other countries. When I read Vargas Yosa I don't find it strange, I mean that there is an international high standard that nobody speaks and that apparently is taught as foreign language.
@@Harley.b. lol not at all. Different slang and words between countries have massive differences, or are you gonna tell me, as a Spaniard that you would use pendejo before gilipollas? Or even regionally, when was the last time you heard someone that wasn't from the Canary Islands call the bus guagua in Spain?
ROFL yeah. Asking your Mom about stuff. Always awesome
Honestly, taking a Spanish class already knowing Spanish just sounds like an easy grade lmao
what is your first language? if it is english then think: was english an easy class because you already spoke english? (emphasis on because)
I do that and it’s harder than it seems, ofc it’s a lot easier tho. I just never learned the proper rules so grammar was hard, vocab was a breeze tho
@Nele Sophie
Yeah, it was. I assumed that's how everyone was?
I was able to breeze through English because it was easy to understand and get a grasp of because I've been surrounded by prominently English-speaking people. Though to be fair, I have trouble with grammar at times.
It could also be the fact that I've got hyperlexia.
I apologize if I was incorrect and just made a wrong assumption.
I was just saying it felt like if you wanted an easy grade from like an elective or whatever, and you already had a solid grip on Spanish, it may be easier for you to get a high grade.
(I also apologize if this comment comes off as snarky or rude that is not my intent, or if I misread your comment. I'm not the greatest with tone.)
@@ablistair i wish everyone on the internet was as reflective as you and you are completely right that tone is something hard to express in this form! I hope you have a wonderful next 24 hours :)

my brother in law spoke spanish and he helped me with my homework once and i got like all of it wrong lol

Same reason why I took English in University…to speak and write at a professional level. With Spanish, I still train, listen to Tiziano Ferro music, read, sing, Babbel, or watch you ;)
Tiziano Ferro is from Italy 😂
He has a HUGE career in Spanish too! I prefer the Italian ones but I have met so many Spanish speaking fans. Go Tiziano!
Spanish AND Tiziano Ferro don't go together😂😂😂😂😂
@@saruchita87 I am too used to the italian versions to appreciate the spanish ones fully and the translations are a bit wonky BUT it's our boy tiziano so he still slaps
I had a buddy who was basically the male Version of her. His dad was white and his mom was Spanish. When he talked to his mom it was usually in Spanish but he struggled with Spanish class in high school. I was like how are you struggling?! You speak it every day with your mom! All he ever said was its just different. What they teach ain't the same as how we talk. I just remember my mind being blown by that concept at 15 lol Didn't know how the world worked yet.
That's like parent angrily asking kiddo How are you getting a D in the language already know? 😄
Spanish are white
Fire cracker !!! I love this girl she’s awsome!!! Her boyfriend is the reason why she goes to Spanish classes lol
My daughter was struggling with her Spanish homework so she asked a Mexican friend of mine name Jorge to help her. He got all the answers wrong, lol.
The worst students in my Spanish for Spanish Speakers class were Mexican. We used to joke that they spoke "Mexican" not Spanish
I’m so glad that my Spanish teachers first language is Spanish it helps a lot abs he teaches us both forms of words like pen is pluma and boligrafo
🤔
(Pero la pluma se usaba antiguamente, hoy son las que llevan el mismo tipo de punta, mientras que el bolígrafo es "moderno", y lleva una pequeña bola en su punta).
No lo cuentes, es secreto. 🤫
@@pablobordon4121 De hecho si existen plumas modernas qué siguen funcionando casi igual que las antiguas... Además hay algunos países donde "Pluma" se refiere simplemente a un Lápiz o Bolígrafo cualquiera (qué btw acá en Chile se dice "Lápiz", muy rara vez se usan Pluma o Bolígrafo)
My Spanish teacher was from Guatemala and some of the vocabulary from the textbook she would just say "no one uses that" and taught us other words. She would either do that or teach us both words if they were ones that were used pretty interchangeably. She had to google some words too bc she didn't realize that was even the word for them.
"Ana Rranjado" GIRL U JUST KILLED ME
Had a bio teacher from Spain. Left her a note once in Castilian Spanish. Thank you Babelfish.
I love how animated you are.
My extrovert wants to be friends
Me when I started my 7th grade Spanish class. Lemme tell you I never realized how broken my Spanish was💀😭
I take a Spanish for Spanish speakers class and it has honestly helped my vocabulary and grammar a lot! It’s my first language but I immigrated when I was 6 so there’s some technicalities I didn’t know or I’m still learning so I totally agree with you. And the plus side with the Spanish speakers class is that the teacher understands that we all have kind of different dialects based on where we come from. She’s honestly the sweetest teacher too and it’s high school honors
I’m Dominican Puerto Rican and there are words that I can’t say to my Dominican mom that can say to my Puerto Rican dad and vice versa. I’ve come to understand that Spanish depending on location is influenced by different languages and in my eyes it feels like a different language at times which is always fun.
Yes! I once had a Mexican coworker who I was training, and one day we took a call from Spanish-speaker, but there was a word he used that she wasn’t familiar with because he was like PR. So interesting
Your accent is so Andalusian. The best kind of Spanish in the universe
i forgot how to say "bus" to a puerto rican but isn't it something similar to "umbrella"? there's just some slang that was so odd to me for Puerto rico. I'm most comfortable with what i call D.F. spanish, the kind the bilingual telemundo news anchors use. but to be honest, that would be an interesting accent to mix Puerto rican and Dominican since Dominicans are considered like the "new york" speakers in spanish. i picked up on spanish alot faster hanging around Dominicans than northern mexicans, no offense to anyone. Dominicans use more consonants, at least in my opinion.
There's always something more to learn in every language
Slightly related: I learned more about grammar, sentence structure, and conjugation of verbs in Spanish than I did in English and as a result, learning Spanish helped me understand English better. Lol
For example in Enlgish, I knew that verbs were different depending on the subject. But I didn't understand why.
Learning to conjugate in Spanish helped me understand so much better.
I thought my Spanish was enough but then I took the class. Ha!!! 😂😂😂😂
Hit ‘em with that “why are you in English class if it’s YOUR first language” 😂
I took a Spanish class where our teacher specified that there were differences between Spanish speakers. She didn't expect the Spanish speakers in her class to follow all of the same rules, but she would sit and talk with them about the grammar and such of their way of speaking to better help them.
She sounds a lot better than most of the Spanish teachers I've heard of in this comment section!
I mean, the rules the the same, the vocabulary is what changes the most,
I don't understand a word when you speak Spanish, but it sure sounds supremely awesome. :D
I'm learning some Spanish from you so thank you for your channel and all that you do
