Order Coffee in Spain (Gringo on the Streets, Episode #2)

----------

In this episode of Gringo on the Streets, we're ordering coffee.

If you watch this video, no doubt you'll be able to order coffee in Spain without a problem.

But you won't JUST see me ordering coffee in this video.

You'll see something else.

You'll see that every time I order a coffee, the person quickly responds by making my coffee.

Even with my "horrible" pronunciation and "so American" accent--as I've been told in YouTube comments =)

But none of that matters.

Language is a tool for communication--to carry a message from one brain to another.

Once that's achieved, it's all ego after that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all about speaking the best you can--I want to speak the best I can!

But even when my sentences are riddled with mistakes or poor pronunciation of a word--I'm understood.

I'm more than understood.

I have wonderful conversations.

I tell jokes.

Just sometimes with lots of mistakes =)

I'm still learning too!

It's a lifelong thing for me, I think.

So watch this new video.

See me order a *million* coffees.

See me make mistakes and speak like a gringo.

But still get all my coffees!

Then you go do it!

Next opportunity, get out there and order something in Spanish!

But don't compare yourself to perfect!

Don't beat yourself up for making mistakes or sounding "stupid".

Pat yourself on the back for doing the scariest thing, getting out there and speaking Spanish in real life.

Even just the small phrases and sentences in this video--if you say them in real life, you'll feel absolutely amazing!

Hasta luego,

Jordan

Love this! I am going to be using it in my classes. :) I'm so glad you are showing authentic usage instead of just describing how to do something.

Brilliant! Was so happy to see the email bulletin about this earlier. I've just spent three weeks in Colombia and thanks to your videos got a lot further than I would have otherwise. Muchas gracias!

Awesome, I'm living in Malaga currently! There's not a whole lot of conversation between the customer and waiter so that's why it's so easy

I teach Spanish as well and I love how practical you are. I'll be going to Spain this summer and I will definitely use "me pones" more to practice a different way of saying "quisiera" - thanks for the tip!

In LatAm we use "servir" instead of "poner". For example, "Me sirve un... por favor"

I know in Colombia they say "¿me regalas (artículo que pides)?" even though it means will you gift me.. But in Colombia it sounds normal

Here in México, "me pones" would make sense, but sounds weird. I mean, if you say "me pones un café para llevar", they'll give it to you normally, but it's not a common expression.

¡Hola Jordan! I'll be in Mallorca and Ibiza in 2 weeks. I have learned a lot from your videos and lifetime membership to your site. I am looking forward to getting to apply what I've learned so far. I'm going to buy a laptop with a Catalonian keyboard in Mallorca. I wish you taught Italian, German, and French too - You are one of the best professors I've had. ¡Muchas Gracias Amigo!
