Juan, you are so right! We still need those subtitles, and we know it is SO MUCH WORK for you, THANK YOU for doing them! We hope and pray that your Patreon support EXPLODES. Every dollar counts, and just one dollar brings so much reward!, and YOU ARE WORTH (at least) A MILLION. :) Your bonus material makes learning Spanish EASIER and MORE FUN, plus keeps us motivated and on track. Best money we have ever spent. Period. Grateful, grateful, grateful.
One more thought to add to the reason people in the United States call themselves "americano". The word "estadounidense" does not exist in English. While I understand why it may be perceived as offensive to people of Canada and Mexico, but "American" is a shorter way of saying "person of the United States of America". I have become much more aware of words that don't easily translate since I have been traveling to CDMX more often and "estadounidense" is one of those words.
As a Canadian, and i'm sure i speak for others, I don't take any offense in the term "American" being used to refer to citizens of the United States. It's basically a given that "American" has come to mean "citizen of the USA" and we do not self identify with or consider ourselves "American" at all. We do use the phrase North Americans though when talking collectively about the two.
Hola Juan, soy Francés, llevo uno año aprendiendo español, más o menos he recientemente descubierto tu canal de youtube, quería decirte que me gustan mucho tus vídeos
Muchas gracias por los videos, Estoy a punto de verlos a todos. Lo mas difícil para mi ha sido comprender a los nativos así que esto es exactamente lo que necesito.
One day while in Spain a Spanish friend introduced me to a Colombian women. He told her that I am American. He put some stress on it as if it was "special". He has never traveled outside of Europe. The woman immediately said that she is also American. I laughed and the man said no, she is from Colombia. I said that she is also American, I am from North America and she is from South America. This mistake on his part made us, the two Americans, bond immediately. Two Americans in Europe. We were not outnumbered. Solidarity! :) I agree with you so much Juan. People need to take the "I" out of "world". hmmm There is no "i" in "world". Let's just share the planet and try to keep it healthy.
I really appreciate you for all the work you make. Its really helpful. I bet you you will be more successful in the future because the quality of your videos is so good. Gracias de Japon!

I like the Cuban slang term "Yuma", and will often say, "Soy yuma" o "soy gringo". I want to speak "Street Spanish", not "Book Spanish", and can't imagine ever saying, "Soy ciudadano estadounidense", unless I was filling out a legal form. Tijuana is a very nice city; I felt very safe there. I really want to visit Mexico City, to see how it compares to New York, Paris, Berlin, Rome, and other mega-cities.
Un video excelente.Me alegra que rechazaste imitar otros acentos; el tuyo es muy claro y neutral. En cuanto a "estadounidenses" frente a "americanos" alrededor de 8:00, siempre me enseñaron usar "estadounidense" para mi mismo para ser claro y para evitar insultar al resto de las Americas. Pero me confundió muchisimo oir "americanos" referente a nosotros en un video de Daniel Habif (sobre Venezuela), y para mi sorpresa, mi compañera de idiomas colombiana me dijo que a pesar del hecho que "estadounidenses" es correcto, la mayoría de Latinoamérica nos llama "americanos". Voy a quedar con estadounidense. Supongo que mi pregunta es, ¿si alguien usa "americanos", puede querer decir algo aparte de estadounidenses?
Juan! Que lindo tu eres! :) Gracias por este video, muy buenas respuestas. No he estado en muchos lugares en México pero muchos me intrigan, especialmente Guanajuato, Querétaro, Morelia, y Guadelajara. Buena suerte en tus viajes este año!
I noticed we now have commercials in your videos? Can we remove them? Or is there a way to listen without the commercials. It is so annoying to be constantly bombarded with images and sounds trying to convince us to buy things we dont need.
