Is it Possible to Live in Spain with ZERO Spanish? #spain #shorts

[samilliw]

To enjoy Spain, you need to know Spanish

It is so important (and respectful) to either learn the language of the country you're moving to, or at least be in the process of learning it! It's awesome knowing multiple languages, too 💗

I am a Spanish from Marbella: here is sad because people dont want to learn or even try to speak in spanish. We try to adapt ourself to other cultures when we arrive to their countries… I meet english people living here from 40 years and they dont speak a bit of our lenguage!

Before my trip to Spain, I prepared months before studying Spanish the best that I could. When I got to Barcelona, although my Spanish was quite imperfect, they were very kind to me very welcoming and now that I have returned to New York I will probably continue studying in Spanish for rest of my life.

Imagine going to spain and not even trying to learn spanish lol

More than 500 million people speak Spanish. The most spoken are Chinese, English and Spanish.

[nevereverever]

You cannot expect to go to a country and not speak their language. That's unrealistic and disrespectful

Aquí, en España, la gente hace un esfuerzo por hablar la lengua inglesa para poder comunicarse con el resto del mundo. Otras culturas con diferentes lenguas también lo hacen. Pero, salvo una pequeña minoría, los angloparlantes piensan que son los demás pueblos del mundo los que se tienen que molestar en hacerse entender. Mientras que ellos no hacen el mínimo esfuerzo, e incluso se ofenden si no hablas su idioma. ¿Por qué será?

I live in a town in Cadiz province, you need Spanish. No one speaks English. Its really hard, I wished I knew some Spanish before moving. Also, there's gov. Spanish classes for foreigners for free in where I live and I was able to meet people (half are english speakers). Its very slow, but its better than nothing.

Evidentemente si vas a un país con su propio idioma

I'm convinced that second woman was German, not Spanish.

We had the privilege and pleasure to visit Spain (Alicante) a few years ago. I knew some Spanish from middle school and refreshed myself before going over (along with watching videos on culture and what to do & not to do), and I live in Texas, which has a lot of Spanish speaking people as well. The people in Alicante were very patient, friendly and helpful when I spoke Spanish or even if I had to default to English. While I didn't learn conversational Spanish, I did learn enough that I could order properly off the menus at the restaurants we went to. And even though most menus were in multiple languages, I always ordered in Spanish.

There used to be a famous saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do, " but nowadays there are so many people that seem to think "Well, I was born in [this] country and even though I'm moving to [another] country, I'm not going to learn their language or try to fit in."

I've also been to Mexico, the Bahamas, and Jamaica, but Spain is the only foreign country I've visited where I'd actually want to live.

Me gustaria que ocurriera asi por que es lo logico ;e incluso tenia que ser obligatorio ya que es un signo de respeto al pais donde vas a vivir; alguien se imagina vivir en Reino Unido y no saber Ingles a que es inconcebible pues eso.

Why would you want to live in a country and not be able to communicate with everyone?

[rahjah]

As an English person who don’t speak any other languages,
It’s respectful and necessary for your safety to at least try learn the language of the country your visiting

[HomeCookingSpain]

It makes sense to atleast know some of the language to get by and you would probably enjoy life more

[Becky_Cal]

If you plan to live in another country long-term and enjoy the benefits it has to offer then you MUST learn its language if only out of respect but also to improve your own experience. Yes, learning a language is hard as an adult but challenge yourself! It’s not impossible & we have more time than money in life so why not?!

[rolflin]

Me parece increíble querer vivir en un lugar con idioma ajeno que no controlas.

😂😂😂

Ohhh the english bubble.

Show some respect and at least TRY

[angelsur]

Is necesary to speak english in England?

[Lupercioq]

You can't expect the institutions to do your paperwork in a language that is not the official language of the country... Neither in Spain, nor in Japan lmao It's also very presumptuous to go to another country with a widely spoken language like Spanish and expect everyone to speak English to you. What a smart and minimally educated person does is learn the language of the country they are going to live in, and if they come as a tourist, they figure it out. And still, we speak a lot of English.
