    Agustina, can you do a video that talks about how a language shapes our worldview?
    For example, in Spanish 'puente' is masculine, therefore the people sees the bridge as something that is big, strong, and powerful. In German, 'brücke' is feminine, and the people there talks about its beauty.
    Maybe find other examples, like why Argentina believes one thing while people of other languages have a different view.

    Acabo de regresar de costa rica y siento que ni siquiera necesitaba el español, hasta los vagabundos me hablaron en inglés. Fui allá hace nueve años y lo mismo. Sí, hay gente que no lo habla pero la mayoría que me tocó conocer si notaban un acento gringo ya empezaron el inglés. La verdad me molestó mucho, sin embargo cuando notaron que entendí bien el español en fin me hablaron en español(me sucedió más en aquel país que Estados Unidos 🥲).
    Pero se lo agradezco que mi lengua materna es tan útil 😂 pero se me hace un poco más complicado aprender idiomas ya que todo el mundo empieza aprender inglés a los seis añitos.

    Agustina's right about translator apps. I remember watching a (now defunct, I think) UA-cam channel where the presenter would send English song lyrics etc through Google Translate, to translate it into one language, then another, then another, and eventually back into English. The results were garbled and often hilarious. I think translator apps can be useful for travel etc, but definitely not for actually learning the language. Very interesting video, thanks!

    I suspect that the level of English proficiency in Latin America is very much superior to the level of proficiency In United States of Spanish. The native speakers of Spanish are much better at speaking English than the native speakers of English are at speaking Spanish. I don’t think I have ever spoken Spanish to a native speaker of Spanish that did not know English as well as I do as a native speaker of English. I think the difference is mainly due to a lack of interest on the part of the native English speakers.

      Like agustina explained, that is in part due to the amount of exposure. Other parts of the world have been exposed to English from young through music and tv. So when it gets time to really learn it there is often a foundation there.

    Lol, there are numerous British English dialects that probably would not sound elegante to you. I guess she's talking about Southern Standard British English.
    Lot's of very different English varieties in the USA as well. Blue collar Chicago English is quite phonologically different from the English spoken in Georgia or Los Angeles.
    I'm getting used to /j/ being /ʃ/ in Rio Platense but Inhave a hard time abiding the dropping or strong aspiration of /s/ sibilants. It sounds sort of, I don't know, lazy, I guess. 😉

      She doesn't. She still speaks in Rioplatense Spanish (variant used in Argentina and Uruguay) and she said once that she couldn't get rid of it. She just speaks more slowly than the general pace of conversations among native speakers and it might give you this feeling that she changes her accent.

      I don’t think she tones down her accent any more than anyone else does for intermediate learner content.
      She still uses voseo and yeísmo (two hallmarks of rioplatense Spanish). She does aspirate her s’s less than in some of her advanced videos but Andrés does the same thing in easier content. I think that’s just a product of making it more comprehensible for learners.
      But as someone who focuses heavily on rioplatense Spanish (and a decent bit of that at the native level) I feel like you get a good representation of the accent in her content, even at this level.

    • @mauroamestoy9728
      @mauroamestoy9728 2 дні тому

      No. As jurek points out, if you speak more slowly, your accent won't come out as strongly. An accent is basically a certain musicality, a rhythm, that you put on your sentences, within the words themselves, but especially in the way those words are linked together. Ultimately, except for a couple exceptions, we Spanish speakers pronounce the different phonemes (sounds) that make up the language more or less the same, so you'll easily notice accents in sentences, but not so much in isolated words. If you hear a Spanish speaker say 'gato', and nothing more, you'll have a hard time figuring out where they're from, but if they say 'el gato está maullando', you'll probably get it at once. I'm from Argentina, and if I were to speak as slowly as she does here, I would sound exactly the same.
