You know, I really felt like I've gone nowhere with Spanish but, I listen to things in Spanish and study every day. I don't think I can write in Spanish or speak it well but, I at least understood 95% or more of this video. Heck, there's people who speak to me in English that I'll only catch 95% of what they say so, that's not bad. I loved this video! Thanks Ali!
Have you tried DreamingSpanish? It was an absolute game changer for me. Apps like duolingo and textbooks/classes don't even compare to DreamingSpanish.
Go search up "Language Transfer" and find the Spanish one, it helped me understand sentence structures/grammar, basically how & why this word is placed at a certain place. Additionally, there's A LOT of vocabulary that you learn throughout an episode, which also comes in handy. It's all audio, and there's over 80 videos I believe, I highly recommend it. Last summer I listened up to 20 episodes but stopped, so this summer I'm hoping to find some motivation to rewatch all of them 😅
Empecé a aprender español hace ocho meses y he visto sus vídeos todo el tiempo. Creo que ahora entiendo más. Ha sido divertido. Gracias por hacerlo posible.
This is my favorite slow/comprehensible Spanish channel I have found. I love how you speak kindly and with enthusiasm. It’s a real confidence boost to find out I understand much more than I thought I could, so early in my Spanish learning journey. Muchas gracias Ali. Me encantan tus videos
I love your videos! I think this is what I needed to finally start to understand actual conversation. I want to live somewhere in central or South America one day soonish so this is so much help. I have no idea where exactly but I just want to live somewhere out of the country and really absorb the culture for 6 months to a year at least once in my life.
Hola Alì, gran video, me encanta aprender español viendo tus vlogs, quería decirte que me hace muy feliz saber que te gustaría estudiar italiano porque personalmente soy italiano y me encantaría verte en ¡Italia una vez!
This is the first video I’ve watched fully in Spanish. I usually put a video on while I eat but I’ve been really into learning Spanish so I seen this video and gave it a try. I’m really seeing my Spanish comprehension is getting better! I’m surprised how much I understood! I had to put the captions on because my ears are not trained yet, but it’s baby steps fasho!
Love from Sri Lanka ❤ Soy un principiante en Español y me encanta mucho tus videos. Necesitamos muchos videos mismo. I love the way you give thumbs up so funny 😂❤ P.s : Unfortunately, only Mexican food we have here is from Taco Bell. Wanna try original Mexican Tacos!
Hi, Ali! Thank you so much for your videos. I'm so happy that I found your channel since I started to study Mexican Spanish because it's perfect for studying. You always pronounce words clearly, and therefore I'm able to understand 70-80% of the spoken words. Also, there aren't many Mexican UA-camrs who focus on teaching the language, so your content is quite unique in this way. Your vlogs are my favorite type of videos because I'm always learning (more or less) some things about Mexican culture. I'm looking forward to your next videos and wishing you a great day!
Soon we will be experts in Mexican food 🙂 I am completing my dictionary and it is great fun to learn all the details. Many thanks for adding Spanish subtitles.
I’m from the US and it made me giggle once you got to Chipotle. I don’t think anybody here considers it real Mexican food lol but it can be tasty. And yeah a lot of us get Burrito Bowls. I’m really enjoying this video though! *Also Taco Bell is definitely not real Mexican food. I wouldn’t even advise you eat it 😮
Ya sé como hablar español pero a veces me gusta escuchar a diferentes acentos pa practicar. Sería brutal si pudieras venir a Puerto Rico en el futuro pa probar la comida y ver las playas, el morro, el yunque o lo que sea. También pudieras hablar con la gente aquí y comparar el acento con tuyo. 🇵🇷🇲🇽
Nunca No he probado original comida mexicana, porque vivo en europa y aquí no hay muchas restaurantes regentado por mexicanos, pero comida, que tú has probado parecía muy rico, especialmente la que diste cinco estrellas. Gracias por este episodio y espero más :))
Off topic but You are soooo bonita 😭💗 like you have such a pleasant smile ❤️ Also your videos are so calm and interesting it really does helps me a lot in my spanish language learning. Muchísimas gracias Ali💗 Don't stop you are doing an amazing job💗💗
Me gusta el formato de tu video donde incluyes palabras y sus traducciones, eso es bien util. Prefiero comer en restaurantes locales mexicanos en vez de las franquicias.
El local siempre vencerá a las franquicias. I'm American, originally from Michigan, now in southern Arizona, and I am just learning Spanish. I really enjoy your channel. I hope San Francisco treats you well. ❤
Near the beginning of the video, the waiter says "lleva arroz y frijoles a un lado." in the context of the conversation, I'm assuming that he's telling you that it comes with beans and rice on the side. When I look that up on three different translators, it translates that phrase to say, "take rice and beans on the side." Can you help me understand this?
Yes! In that context, “lleva” means that “it comes with”. It’s not its literal definition. It would be the same meaning as in “viene con” or “trae”. “Lleva” is slightly more informal than the other ones, but very often used!
Otro video muy buena onda 👌 En mi ciudad que es Gdańsk, tenemos un restaurante llamado “El Pueblo” 🤠 y lo parece mexicano, pero aquí puedes probar la cocina Tex-Mex. siguiente en que ya he probado era “Papa Diego” aunque suena Latino es como una cadena de estos restaurantes. Así que los puedes encontrar en diferentes malls.
I have been enjoying listening to all of your videos, and so fun that you moved to my home town, San Francisco (Actually I live in Berkeley but close by). I am excited to try La Taquiera on Mission. If you want to make a video where you take a BART trip to Berkeley, I'll have lots of ideas for you. Thanks for all of the good content, I learn something new with every video. 😇
I love Taco Bell! I'm from southern California and it was always a special treat growing up. It's obviously not authentic, but still good. You should try some more things there. That taco didn't look great. I live in Mexico now and that's the one fast food I miss the most!
Gracias por este video. Siempre me preguntaba que las mexicanas piensa sobre la comida mexicana en los eeuu. Me encanta los restaurantes locales que tienen dueños Mexicanos donde vivo. La comida es ricísima. Tambien me gusta mucho Chipotle. Estoy de acuerdo Taco Bell es la basura.
Ok... my Spanish conjugation is horrible (and getting worse because my Mexican friends moved away), but I'm gonna give this a try, so bear with me. En 2007, fui a Nicaragua para un mission al Barrio Manchester (muy cerca a la Embasia de los Estados Unidos en Managua). La cocinera me hace un plato muy especial. 2 bananas maduras (cortado en 5 secciones), y fritado en mantequilla. ¡Wao.. que rico! Y para el plato mayor, ella me hace pollo separado con mole rojo (mole de tamale) sobre una tostada. Quando regreso a mi pueblo, yo le dijo a mi amiga Mexicana sobre el plato de pollo con mole. Entonces, ella me hace el misimo plato. Es muy similar al plato Nicaraguense, pero mas rico. No sabe porque, pero la receta Mexicana ya gano cada vez. Lo siento si no me entiendes. Preguntame en ingles si mis palabras estan confundido. Feliz Navidad desde un gringo en Kentucky que no hace razon quando habla...😂
Muy interesante! Gracias. I am a gringo living in Colombia, and it is really difficult to find good Mexican food here. Colombian food is not like Mexican. Here in Medellin most of my paisa friends cannot stand even a small amount of spicy! I really miss good Mexican food as much as anything in the US.
Divertido video: ¡Taco Bell, el claro ganador! (es broma). Cuando estaba en la universidad (hace mucho tiempo), vivía de burritos de frijoles Taco Bell por 39 centavos. En autenticidad, lo califico con un cero. Gracias.
Ok a mi como estadounidense sí me gusta taco bell. Pero reconzco que no es comida mexicana para nada sino su propia cosa totalmente. Es comida rapida, pura basura la verdad pero sigo disfrutándolo sin verguenza 😭 saludos desde Chicago gracias por los videooos
CHIPOTLE it's not Mexican food, neither taco bell , Tex-mex food nothing too be compared to Mexican food, just ask to foreigners from all over the World that traveled to Mexico.
Ohh no.. lo mejor para que te puedes esperar es algo bueno. A comer comida Mexicano en Estados Unidos es un pobre imitacion de comida Mexicano.. ( fui a visitar un amiga Mexicana hace 4 años en Queretaro... y ahora a comer comida de 🇲🇽 aqui es :(
Which one is your favorite Mexican spot? 😋
No se pero te amo
King Taco it's in southern California and it has the best Sopes you will eat in all California

@@greyskykisses if they told you, lemme know 😆
I love your vlogs!! I am using them as a part of my study routine as I learn espanol. Thank you for making this content.
omg I got like 80% what you've said and I am so proud to find out a UA-cam channel who teaches Spanish by context in a very easy way
I love your videos! I think this is what I needed to finally start to understand actual conversation. I want to live somewhere in central or South America one day soonish so this is so much help.

Haha yeah, Chipotle was definitely good, though 😅
I think you are very kind to give Taco Bell more than 1 star. Thank you for speaking slowly enough for me to understand most of what you said.
Dear Ali
I’m so grateful for the lovely videos you’re publishing, they really help me so much in learning your beautiful language. I love it!
So glad they're being helpful! Thank you!

guawwww pediste mi favorita de la comida mexicana enchiladas verde con frijoles y arroz.. ya me dio hambreee
Love your vids!!!
Wow, this is excellent learner content. Still a bit above my level to catch every word, but I’m getting there. You’ve got a new subscriber.
You should come to San Diego. San Diego/Southern CA style mexican food is my favorite.
Soy de Arizona y tenemos muchos restaurantes mexicanos que son auténticos. Me gusta Chipotle, pero estoy sorprendido de que te haya gustado.
Amo tu manera de hacer videos!
Debes probar Chuy’s! Me encantaría si podría hacer un evaluación del restaurante un día.
Te ves feliz Ali. Espero que te quedes en Estados Unidos. Eres una muy buena incorporación a este país. ¡Muchos otros no lo son!
Jaja ha sido muy divertido, gracias. Que tal por aquí en EEUU?
As soon as you said you were going to Taco Bell my Spanish improved. "No, Taco Bell no es comida" 😁
Near the beginning of the video, the waiter says "lleva arroz y frijoles a un lado." in the context of the conversation, I'm assuming that he's telling you that it comes with beans and rice on the side.
When I look that up on three different translators, it translates that phrase to say, "take rice and beans on the side."

Este vídeo es hacerme mucho querer a cocinar auténtica comida mexicana en casa.
Otro video muy buena onda 👌

When I want Mexican food , I hit the food truck. Found one that has my now favorite taco- Chittlin 🌮 😋
me sorpende mucho que Chipotle haya recibido una calificación tan alta, quién sabe?
excellente! disfrute' mucho!
im so proud that i understood everything without substitles. Now i need to write and speak more
What means mole?

Feliz Navidad desde un gringo en Kentucky que no hace razon quando habla...😂
Deberias probar Gallardo's la proxima vez, definitivamente es el mejor restaurante mexicano de la ciudad.
Lo checaré!
Hay un restaurante local donde como comida Mexicana. Tambien, me gusta Chipotle.
No te preocupes, todos saben que Taco Bell no es comida autentica o buena. Es definitivamente solo cuando quieres comida más rápida
Muy interesante! Gracias. I am a gringo living in Colombia, and it is really difficult to find good Mexican food here. Colombian food is not like Mexican. Here in Medellin most of my paisa friends cannot stand even a small amount of spicy! I really miss good Mexican food as much as anything in the US.
Hi, when will you add more comprehensible input? I really your comprehensible input.
Gracias por el video. Fue muy interesante ver que comida te gusto. Tampoco me gusta Taco Bell. 😂
Хорошо, что я уже понимаю испанский процентов на 70. Могу смотреть такие красивые обзоры с неотразимой ведущей.
Divertido video: ¡Taco Bell, el claro ganador! (es broma). Cuando estaba en la universidad (hace mucho tiempo), vivía de burritos de frijoles Taco Bell por 39 centavos. En autenticidad, lo califico con un cero. Gracias.
I am Soy comiendo desayuno en México y no hay Taco Bell. La gente aquí quieren verdadera comida de México. Gracias por su video. Soy gringo de Texas ❤
Ok a mi como estadounidense sí me gusta taco bell. Pero reconzco que no es comida mexicana para nada sino su propia cosa totalmente. Es comida rapida, pura basura la verdad pero sigo disfrutándolo sin verguenza 😭 saludos desde Chicago gracias por los videooos
CHIPOTLE it's not Mexican food, neither taco bell , Tex-mex food nothing too be compared to Mexican food, just ask to foreigners from all over the World that traveled to Mexico.
مكسيك جميل جداً سفر وسياحة
Ohh no.. lo mejor para que te puedes esperar es algo bueno. A comer comida Mexicano en Estados Unidos es un pobre imitacion de comida Mexicano.. ( fui a visitar un amiga Mexicana hace 4 años en Queretaro... y ahora a comer comida de 🇲🇽 aqui es :(
Chipotle no es comida mexicana, es " comida mexicana" americanizada para el paladar de los yankees
Eso es cierto, pero Chipotle en realidad es bastante bueno.
Los burritos de frijoles y queso es lo unico bueno en Taco bell
