"Un ritmo un poco diferente" is the most diplomatic way I've ever heard someone describe England's drinking culture!

As a native englishman I found it quite funny that you said one of the best things about British food is the Indian restaurants 😂 - although I'm not saying I disagree! "Going out for a curry" is something of a family tradition for me. I am curious though - were there any traditional British dishes that you particularly enjoyed?

@purdysanchez 17 дней назад

Maybe it's a regional thing. I had food at few places by Heathrow and all of it was good.

@purdysanchez 17 дней назад

The only "Indian" dish I had was chicken 65 and it was also better than the Indian places in America make it.

@alnbenn 2 года назад

Its always interesting to hear how others perceive you, but of course the point of the video is to help with learning Spanish and I really liked the pace and clear pronunciation of Alma's video. I'm just back from a month of traditional language school in Spain, which I really enjoyed but I'm convinced that the Dreaming Spanish comprehensible input method is better. I enjoyed class when our profesoras chatted away in their lovely Spanish and I could just listen, but of course we had to speak and listen to other students trying to speak and then try to learn lots of 'rules of grammar' which are impossible to remember in a real life conversation. I wish I'd found Dreaming Spanish years ago!

@omnisc253 2 года назад

I moved to Spain this year from England and noticed many of the same differences as you. Spain has excellent Mediterranean food (obviously) but Asian food is much better in the UK thanks to our larger diaspora groups. It's a lot more difficult to find non-Spanish ingredients in supermarkets for example. I also noticed that people don't apologise here as much as we do in the UK but I think I like that. Bureaucracy in Spain is crazy! It seems you need in-person appointments to do a lot of things that could be done instantly online. And self service tills don't seem to have caught on here. But things in general seem more relaxed, and I prefer that chilled vibe when out drinking or working etc. I think it has to do the weather being so much worse in the UK that encourages people so binge drink more to forget how miserable it is!

@seanmoriarty4854 2 года назад

Soy de irlanda y me mudé al UK hace muchos anos. Para mi este video es muy interesante. Creo que muchos de los padres aquí gritan a sus hijos tambien - supongo que depende del región dónde vives en el país. Estoy de acuerdo contigo sobre el tema de las bebidas alcoholicas - los ingleses (y irlandeses) quieren emborracharse tan rápido como posible

@stephen9306 2 года назад

Really interesting video, thanks! Some might say that Britain's greatest gift to the world has been the English language, but (as a Brit) I think they're wrong. It's clearly the "full English" breakfast! Though having said that, I only really eat a full English when I'm on holiday or travelling with work - so I don't have to make it myself. Now I want to try a Spanish night out, with a slower pace and some tapas as well... after the pandemic, perhaps!

@futurez12 2 года назад

Who thinks English is a 'gift to the world?' It's only a prominent language because we built an empire and forced a bunch of other cultures to use it.

@orlahenry9769 2 года назад

Gracias, he disfrutado mucho este vídeo. La velocidad es perfecto para mi aunque deseo que podría entender habla rápida. Vivo en Escocia y en mi casa hay muy grande ventanas porque necesitamos tan mucho luz que posible- no necesito persianas porque no tenemos bastante sol! En. España la gente necesita proteger sus muebles etc del sol. Me gusta más como la gente en España bebé alcohol- mas lente y normalmente con comida - mucha más sana! Sé que los británicos son conocido a por su cortesía pero cuando estaba en Valencia, los trabajadores en los supermercados eran muy muy servicial, también en la calle, especialmente porque mi español no es bueno😞.

@JonWal21 2 года назад

I like this type of video. Entertaining content just in understandable Spanish at a slower pace.

@stewartl9620 2 года назад

5:05 - This is something I've noticed about Spain. In most major cities in Spain, a lot of the buildings aren't very old despite Spain being a very very very old country. Which is weird because for example, the city of Boston started in 1630, and much much more of Boston feels older than Madrid. And Madrid is 600 years older.

@aldozilli1293 5 месяцев назад

You might need a trip to Segovia or Toledo. Centre of Madrid is very old, but I think I get what you mean. I think a lot of Americans expect everything to be old in Europe. Likewise I'm British and recently went to NY and Philadelphia and was surprised in and around Philadelphia how historic the buildings were, stone cottages going back 300 to 400 years in some of the more extreme cases.

Most tourists never really taste traditional british food. It more than Fish & chips! A lot of these dish were influenced by Germanic and Saxon tribes and The Romans too. So were hearty and filling dishes for a British climate. They take time to make which most folk don't have these days. Full English breakfast The ploughman sandwich Shepherd's Pie Beef Wellington Ethon Mess Cronish Pasty Chicken Tikka Masala Curry Corned Beef Steak and Kidney Pie Cottage Pie Lacashire Hot Pot Welsh Rarebit Toad in hole Bangers & Mash Bubble & Squeak Yorkshire Pudding Neaps and Tatties Trifle Scotch Egg Scampi Pork Pie Kippers Scones & Tea etc.....

The stuff she said was different about Spain and England all seemed very similar to the United States. It seems like America has a lot of remnants of English culture.

@lartrak Месяц назад

Definitely. Often the American version has it tweaked in one direction, but you can tell the cultures are distinctly related.

@lorrainesusanirwin8329 2 года назад

Respecto al alcohol estoy de acuerdo con usted. Soy inglesa pero desde 2015 he vivido en España y durante ese tiempo he visto sola una vez una persona de este país que estuvo borracho. Además me gusta la manera muy diplomática en que ha descrito usted la comida en Inglaterra pero la verdad es que la comida Británica es tan mal y por esto tantísimas prefieran comer en los restaurantes Indios allí.

@leighcanham763 8 месяцев назад

Gracias por este video Alma, !he apreciado mucho! A student made a comment below about British food and Indian food. Cultures develop in remarkable ways all over the world. Britain's multi-culture is probably among the most diverse in the world. And food from other countries has had an obvious influence on British cuisine. Tikka masala is a British dish, and balti too; developed in Birmingham. Indian and Chinese food has become a staple for many Brits. We eat a lot of pasta and Italian based foods, and Greek too. In my small capital city of Cardiff there are three tapas bars within a five minute walking distance of one another. Arab food from the Yemen brought to Cardiff by Yemeni sailors from the early 1800s. I could go on. Cardiff was the most multi-cultural city on the island of Great Britain, along with London, until around the middle of the 20th century. With the growth of the docks and coal exports from the early 1800s, the city attracted people from all over the world. When I was a child, there were more than 50 languages spoken here; there are estimated to be way more than that now in a city of less than half a million population, including Spanish and Portuguese brought by sailors from Cabo Verde (Cape Verde) and from Cadiz and Huelva. Food from all over the world!

And of course you overlooked being Welsh you have many local specialties you should be promoting, like Bara Brith, Cawl, Cockles, Lamb dishes, Faggots, Laverbread, Welsh cheeses (Caerphilly etc.), Welsh sausages (Glamorgan etc.), Oggies, Teisan Lap, Taws pum munud, Crempogau, Welsh cakes etc...Indigenous British cuisine is often overlooked because it is often Cooked badly but when done right is as good as any.

@leighcanham763 5 месяцев назад

@@aldozilli1293 Ah, si, sí, sí... traditional Welsh cuisine is often underated, particularly by those who´ve never had a good example on a plate. Ha! I grew up with all those things you mention above. I eat laverbread (bara lawr) often. Best bought from Cardiff Central Market, the best day to buy it is a Wednesday, gernarlly. Swansea Market is excellent for seafood. I made some cawl (guiso, supongo) yesterday that will last me a few days. ¡Hace un frío que pela aquí en Cardiff ahorita! Necesitamos algo como un guiso. 🙄 Gracias por la resquesta. Saludos desde Caerdydd. Momento... ¿Aldo Zilli el chef?

In the UK, it's all about keeping up appearances; nobody actually means what they say. And drinking: as much as possible in as less time as possible, but the % of alcohol in the drinks is much lower.

Gracias por el video! Pienso que tu observacion sobre el Reino Unido y España es un poco similar que mi observacion sobre Singapur, cuando yo llegué aqui por mi primero vez desde Filipinas. Como Reino Unido, las horas para comer en Singapur es tambien mas variado. Ademas, la comida en Singapur tienen varias tipos, desde partes diferentes de Asia. En contrario, las horas para almorzar en Filipinas siempre son a las doce o las doce y media, y en Filipinas hay menos comidas de otro paises Asiaticas como Tailandia o India. Pero, en Singapur los padres son gritones como en España jaja.

que un articulo muy interesante, tengo que decir que estoy de acuerdo tu opiniones sobre Inglaterra sin embargo para mi la comida es un poco aburrido, en Inglaterra normalmente visitaríamos restaurantes italianos y españoles, la comida es mucho mas interesantes. También la cultura en relación de alcohol en Inglaterra es muy mala, desafortunadamente hay un cultura de narcotics asociado con los bares y las discotecas especialmente en las ciudades. lo siento para mi gramática no es mi punto fuerte lol

tener mala fama = to have a bad reputation.

In the way it's being used mostly here, it means 'known for.' _"Inglaterra tiene la fama por...."_ = _"England is known for."_

No se de que hablas. La comida china de RU es la misma que se vende en EEUU, y todos estos platos como numero veintecuatro o treinta tres fueron inventidos en California, no China. La comida india en restaurantes britanicos es algo diferente, ya que en India no suelen usar especias muy calientes, pero en RU se convertio a ser British Indian Restaurantes (BIR) y esto es mucho mas picante y tiene carnes no comido en La India. "Fish and Chips" es una invencion de inmigrantes Italianos al RU en en siglo ochonueve. Una cosa más. Los dulces y postres británicos aplastan a todos los competidores, así de buenos son. Deme otra bola de "trifle" o pudin de pan por favor, y un "Flake" de Cadbury.
