Great video 🎊 🎉🤩. Most Mexican people speak in a roundabout non-direct way, it’s ingrained in the culture.🎊 México is one of the more conservative countries of Latinoamérica and the manner in which we speak reflects that. In my opinion, learning a language like Mexican Spanish is so much more than vocabulary and grammar, the social aspect is the trickiest.✨ If you’re able to master the social formalities part, you’ll snowball-gain the confidence in pronunciation and grammar.🤩
This is so terrific... reminds me of being in Germany and France and attempting those languages ... I really feel that for me Spanish is easier... I really do love the many words that are simply pronounced differently and I don't mind being embarrassed or feeling clumsy ... although I would love going deeper in Spanish for sure!! Thanks for sharing this interview!
I think Spanish is a language that's easy to be a novice at. But it can get complicated too. As for pronunciation, sometimes a small mispronunciation can result in complete misunderstanding. I kept asking for a farmacía and no one could understand until I pronounced it without the accent on the i. It sounds like such a small change, but I guess that's important.
That was fun, thanks BW. Really enjoyed Jonathan's story. Hope OR is treating you well. I'm waiting for my personal immigration consultant to get back from her month long vacation, so things are at a standstill for me right now. Argh!!!! Haha Can't wait for your next video!! :) Hasta luego!
I don't think I've ever been to a place with more stores that only millionaires could shop in. But there was also a Krispy Kreme donuts for us middle classers ;-)
@@AlmostRetiredinMexico ewww. krispy ? kreamer ? I tried 1 once. My teeth rotted out and I immediately knew I was diabetic. Now Timmies on the other hand... LOL
Important video for others considering this move. Learning the language of ones new home is always the best move. But how about us ol folk who are retired and want to stay that way? What (besides Pickle Ball) is there to keep us "busy" hobbies, specialty spots like the hot springs to visit or ? I know you've shown some. So show more please. Or you and Gord could do a video about choosing a builder and all the must knows about building. Just some thoughts Mr B. P n D
I highly recommend staying retired! And you need more than Pickleball? Hmmm... I should do one on volunteering that covers all different options. Plus there is random exploring... And I like the "choosing a builder" idea. Of course I'll need to go back to Mexico to make these videos. Right now I'm in "editing only" mode.
Ya me imagino el trabajo q desempeña sin hablar español nomás por un checke sin entender ni papá así es como nos despojan de las oportunidades a los nacionales.
Expat... you are immigrants in Mexico. Why is it so hard to call it by its name? Offensive? Because that's how you refer to any foreigner living in US.
Help me understand how "expats" is offensive to you. If people from Mexico living in the US want to call themselves "expats" I would have no problem with that. Expats refers to leaving a country, immigrants refers to coming to a country. Both words seem accurate to me. But lots of folks commenting about this. I just hope someone will explain why this is an issue.
