Roger that!!!
Spain Revealed - James Blick I’m vegan. It would be nice to have a video dedicated to asking for special needs/interest dining, or even restaurants/locations that are ADA friendly. I have found a large vegan/vegetarian community and venues in Madrid & Alcala de Henares. I believe there’s pretty good material that can make for an interesting video. This also gives discussion to Mision Abolista (anti-bullfighting) and other green-friendly initiatives that are growing in Spain. Gracias!
Love the ideas! And yes, I had though about a bullfighting video. Stay tuned!
Great video and very helpful! Would love to see more language videos.
Great video. The woman at the bar is enthralled by you two
Haha totally - hilarious!
@@spainrevealed Very funny, but she kept messing with the auto focus which kept making my eyes funny 😄
The are metiches (nosey)
@@luisviera6347 😂🤣
Literally cannot stop looking at her...
The lady sitting at the bar bombed your video. Love her.
Every time she would turn around to face the camera, the autofocus would target her for a split second. Hilarious
You've made quite a fan in the background ...
Jeje
Una Mesa para tree ,lot favor
That was hilarious the fan in the background!
Omg
This is so hillarious especially as a spaniard watching lol I think this is really helpful for anyone coming to Spain, great content!
Gracias!!
That lady in the back 😂 she’s part of the video too! Biggest videobomb ever! She was very interested and amused with their presentation 😂 she was great 👍. Also great video guys 👍
The lady behind you watching is living her best life
I am English and my husband is Spanish. We live on a very small island in the Canaries. I am going back to a video where you state that the Spanish do not say "please" and "thank you" much. My husband does not use those words in or out of the house. I say them often, and it is nice to see the lovely smiles I get from waiters and in shops. Maybe we should all say "please" and "thank you" more often, It brightens the working day of many people who may feel unappreciated! Many thanks for your videos. Hope you make many more!
Something I've found as a beginner is this kind of scenario which I think would be great to see you act out and solve! Basically, just asking for water (or whatever) isn't normally the end of the conversation! There are some very common responses the answers to which would be so useful to learn and get used to! So, here's the problem that I always have in such simple scenarios as asking for, say, a coffee and a water. I pluck my courage up and say "Un cafe Americano y un agua por favor"....then the waiter/waitress will say something back which I won't catch and I'll have to resort to my single most-used Spanish phrase: "Lo siento pero no hablo Espanol!" Hehe :) I think being prepared for those kinds of situations will be hugely beneficial! Things such as "con gas?" or (as you mention in this video "botella" or "copa". This kind of thing happens to me ALL THE TIME! Lol 🙈😂. PS Keep up the fantastic content, my wife and I absolutely love Spain, not long returned from Christmas break in Malaga, and heading to Madrid in April, can't wait!
I accidentally stumbled across your video while my curiousity was peaked about Spain. I love how informative the videos are, how excited you are about the content and how you and your wife capture the true character of everything; the architecture, food, drinks, the environment but more so the locals! Everything is so beautiful! This is how I imagine Spain to be, defintely on the top of my bucket list! Thank you for your enthusiasm and love of Spain, keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for that message! It means a lot! Hope to see you in Spain one day!!
That guy has the pronunciation of his R's nailed
haha grrrrrrracias!
Right? Unfortunately for me, I'm a native Spanish speaker but I can't trill my R's at all :(
@@venicesgf Is that considered a lisp?
@@spainrevealed Hablas fenomenal, James.
Yollie and James, you two rock!! Thanks so much for your videos. We are now well prepared for our trip to Spain, starting this Tuesday.
These are amazing, thank you so much!
This was really an amazing video. Much needed!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Thank you so much for typing out the phrases in the description, this will help us tremendously! We visited the Andalucia area last summer and plan to move there in 2.5 yrs. We are now working on learning Spanish and have found your videos very helpful and practical, so thank you!
Brilliant guide, super helpful. Thanks.
Thank you for this wonderful clip.
Hey guys, thank you so much for this. Love your videos almost as much as I love Spain, its people and food. Sadly I struggle with the language at this, as well as your other videos, is straight to the point. Will be using it when in Valencia later this year!
Wow, thank you so much teaching us about Spain 🇪🇸! Marissa & Stephen 😘
Really useful - would like to see more like this, using practical Spansh in different settings.
This was amazing, so helpful! I would like to see a similar video to this but in a cafe setting. How to order different types of coffees and drinks, common pastries, how to ask for WiFi password, bathroom, etc.
Great idea! Let me add it to the list
That was very helpful thank you.
What a fantastic collaboration, James and Yolanda! I learned so much from this. Please keep them coming!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I’ll pass your comment onto Yolanda. She will be thrilled. What other collabs would you like to see from us?
Brilliant video. Thanks to you both.
I love this video because of the teaching part and the subtitles. Please add this in all your videos. Just a portion to all the videos would be great.
The two of you have found your calling in life. Great content. Thanks.
Thank you for reminding me of my Spanish. It was also quite fun watching the lady behind you at the bar, she was very interested in what you were doing.
I am returning to Spain this year after spending a semester there in 1981, I cant wait to see my Sevilla again and all the changes. Thanks for all the great videos and information.
Nice to see a couple SO in love. Their love for each other makes their videos sparkle. Great!
I learned from you guys and used what I learned with the family for two weeks in Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca this year. You gave me the confidence to find "Una mesa para quatro, por favor" and order "Una hamburgeruesa sin queso y patatas fritas" or many other things from "la carta". It was the best Spanish holiday I've had and I look forward to learning some grammar now, to better myself and make my Spanish holidays even more complete. Thank you so much James and Yolanda. Don't underestimate how much your viewers get from your videos. Muchas gracias amigas....
Great video, perfect to have the phrases written down on the screen (took screen shot of each one ☺️) and said by you both! I will be using all of the phrases 😁☀️🇪🇸🍷🍻🍲
This video really helped me not be a simple tourist when I traveled to Grenada earlier this year. A 'go to' video for anyone who wants to hit the tapas bars wherever they go. Thanks for making this video, James!
So helpful, thank you so much for writing this down for us😊
I’m learning Spanish currently and I absolutely love the way you put the video and how things are said and done! Muchas gracias !
Oh you two are really good! Perfect speed and great breakdown - I don't actually see many of these videos. Mucho Gusto!
Great video! We are planning on visiting southern Spain this winter and have found your videos to invaluable! Great job and keep them coming!
THE BEST! A life saver!
This was perfect, thank you'!
Very helpful. More like this would be appreciated.
These videos are fabulous, coming to Barcelona in July,
I feel very confident!!!!
Thanks so much
Very helpful! Coming soon! I’ll be watching this one a few times!
Love all of your videos! Makes me miss Spain so much, really need to go back soon! 😍
Thank you Erika! I really appreciate the comment. See you in Spain!
WONDERFUL, helpful content. THANK you.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! We just returned to the US from a week-long trip to Madrid, and these phrases were the ones we needed the most. We definitely needed to speak more Spanish than I initially expected, but with a faint memory of learning Spanish in High School and this video, we were able to communicate pretty well. (We also watched most of your other videos and made notes too). Madrid and Toledo were the perfect 1st trip abroad for our 5-year-old with your tips and knowledge.
Very useful video, straight to the point, thanks!🥂
thanks for sharing!! now based in barcelona and these phrases really come in handy :) v practical!! cheers to you & yolly!!
Great info .. Muchas gracias 🙏
another great video from my favorite vollging couple always informative and fun yes please make more like this.Just to see Yollys smile makes me feel good and James always a gent😊
Brilliant video! Muchas gracias :)
Very helpful - and charming !
I love your videos! Super informative! Looking forward to scheduling a Devour Tours tapas adventure when we visit Barcelona.
Thanks for your comment Kenneth! So glad you're enjoying the videos, and that you'll be joining us for a tour in Barcelona!
It's interesting to get things that are second nature to you being teached step by step
thank you so much for this! I am moving to Valencia in a couple weeks with very little knowledge on this!
Only just stumbled onto your channel and it’s great I have now subscribed, really love this video as I was travelling to Alicante once a month before the covid so nice to refresh my memory on ordering food and drink 😅😅
Just visited Barcelona for the first time..Loved it.
Fantastic helpful video x
-Niñoooo, una de calamares!
-¡Marchando!
-¿Cuánto es?
-2 con 5
Real native conversation in a spanish bar :D, nice channel by the way.
haha, yes very native. Glad you enjoyed it!
haha, you would say nino to a waiter :D :D :D divertido..
like in uk 'can you give me this and this' 'thank you, boss' haha
Ufff 2 con 5 para unos calamares sería hasta poco español. Demasiado barato jajaja
@@saralampret9694 No no... Monsieur's imaginary conversation would be between the waiter and the kitchen. This is what happens... You walk into the bar and ask for a ración de calamares. The waiter screams, even before you finish your order, UNA DE CALAMARES! He does this so the calamares come out of the kitchen as soon as possible. In this scenario Niño is whoever is taking orders in the kitchen.
Wow , that was really in details , very helpful. Thank you guys ;)
Visiting Madrid and Barcelona soon, your videos have been very helpful!
+John Dunworth awesome John! Have a fabulous time! Let us know how you get on!
I’m going to Spain in a month. I just found your channel and I am really enjoying the videos. I have not gone through all of them yet. I’d love to see one with every day phases in Spanish like; where do I get the bus/taxi, train. Bathroom facilities, grocery store, police, hospital, pharmacy.
That’s an excellent video and very educational, so useful for my next visit.
this is a great video to start speaking Spanish . Hope you do more ..Thank you.
Very useful video. Thank you!
Very helpful information. Would like to see more language videos.
Ok! Coming right up :)
Great videos, awesome comments and very useful travel tips. We visited Madrid in July 2017 and are planning to go back in 2019.
Thanks so much - and that's excellent news that you'll be back!
So thorough thanks so much
I love the audience - hilarious. Love you guys too!
Hi. I am loving the videos. Thank you for your enthusiasm for Spain. I am from the UK and my partner is Spanish from Madrid. I would love a video about introductions to people in Spain and how to say perfectly in Spanish, “You look nice”. Basically, small talk at the beginning and end of a group friendly meeting with people. Thanks 😍
Thank you for this and your other videos. Heading to Spain in late March and I'm now more confident and comfortable in my ability to get around and manage some basic interactions. You two are awesome....and totally adorable!!
Gracias Sandy!!! So glad the videos are helpful!
Thanks James and Yoly! We are preparing for our first trip to Spain from the US at the end of the month and your videos are super helpful, and fun. We are looking forward to our stay in Madrid. Our apartment is not too far from Casa Toni so we are looking forward to stopping in for a drink or two and tapas!
It's 1 AM in the U.S. and I'm binging alllllll your Madrid videos. Obsessed. I was studying there from January until early March when we had to leave (due to coronavirus) but all these videos are great and make me want to return so badly when all the chaos has calmed! My favorite thing about going out to tapas bars in Madrid was how my friends who didn't know much Spanish would try so hard to order and use the most literal translation and say "¿Puedo tener una copa...?" instead of "me pones una copa..." or "quería una copa..." as you suggested in the video. Thanks for the videos!!
Fantastic. Straightforward and it’s nice to cut out any unnecessary words that us tourists often are taught to put in!
Great!!! Thank you!!! 🌟👍👏
Great video! It will help me a lot when I visit Madrid & Valladolid in a couple of weeks!👍☮️
Sharing with my Spanish class. Gracias.
Awesome Rafael - I hope it's helpful!
As a beginner of Spanish who is living in Barcelona. I found this video very very useful. Thank you so much for your good work.
I remember I have watched your videos on purchasing properties in Spain earlier on. They were excellent too. ❤
We just discovered your videos and love you! We love travel videos, but try to eat and live as locals. We ran out of videos that we useful and informative and then we discovered you!. We have been to Spain many times and every time we inevitably end up in at least one tourist trap (always a bummer)- your tips have been super helpful and we are planning on binge watching all your Spain videos before our next visit in a month! Thank you!!!
Hola Leyna! So glad you found me ;) Enjoy the binge and ha e a great trip next time in Spain!
Cool videos, very informative, wasn't boring at all to watch! Thank you for creating this content, going to Barcelona in couple of days, will definitely use your tips and phrases. :)
Awesome- I hope it goes well. Check out my Barcelona tapas video as well
I speak Spanish fairly fluently, but learned in Central America and found this video super helpful. Muchisimas gracias!
So informative! I’m learning so much though your videos, lots of gratitude from me. You both must do more videos together 🙂👍🏼
I’m glad!! Yes, we do plan to do more videos together :)
Really great video!
Will be in Spain In September
You guys are great!
Terrific video ! Gracias....
very helpful! thanks!
Thanks to you!
This was very useful & practical. If you could do more videos with everyday language, such as when you're exploring different sites in a town: e.g. asking for directions, asking/buying a ticket for a museum or other site, taking the bus or train, asking about their timetable, platform, etc.
Muchas gracias por esta clase 👌Quería saber cómo pedir comidas en un restaurante formal. Gracias 😊
Hi guys,
I’m on the Spanish learning journey and these ordering tips are fantastic
Cheers
Tim
Really nice. Thanks!!
Love your energies together. So sweet. Stay together foreeeevvvveerrrre
James, your Spanish is good, but your tours and restaurant recommendations are great!!
Great video, language videos like this is great. If you both can order at different sittings like inviting someone for a drink or or doing a complicated order it would be awesome. Muchas gracias
Fantastic - thanks for those thoughts for future videos!
I like this video. Cute couple. I like the advice too. In school they teach us everything so formally like we’re going to eat at the King’s home. Subscribed!
Super useful. Gracias
Brilliant video! Please teach us more of the words we need to know, in the settings we will be in, when we visit Spain.
Thanks so much- off to practice!!
having all these written out is fantastic - my note taking skills are rusty. Many thanks!!
I’m traveling to Spain the next couple days and I must say your videos are so entertaining and informative. I speak Spanish already from Mexico, but Spanish from Spain has its own uniqueness from its words! Some words are uncommon or flipped. This video cleared up some confusion! Thank you!! Love all your videos too
So pleased you’re finding the videos helpful Lily... more coming!
Hola,
Cómo te fue en España? Zumo o jugo, grifo o llave, etc.
Such a great and usefull video! I'd really love to watch more language videos like this :-)
Keep them coming. Very helpful and inspiring. We spent 4 months in Spain last year, Bilbao, Valldolid,Salamanca,Seville,Cadiz,Malaga, Madrid, Toledo,Burgos etc. And I now know how to use the word "copa" for glass instead of "vaso" And "cana" instead of cervesa pequeno. Thank you
Fantastic Iban! It’s those little lingo tips that make you sound much more local!
Great video, thank you!
Now that we're in our final preparation for our trip to Spain starting next week, we thought it good to go back through some of your posted videos. Great reminders on places to go and how to do things, like ordering.
BTW - you seem "so young" on some of them!!
