I feel so lucky that I found your course and I am studying Spanish from you. Your are the best Spanish teacher on the

[busfahrer]

8:30 in Germany means you're there at 8:20 and beg pardon for being late.

yeah these courses are incredible. my Spanish is coming back so quickly - thanks so much for all these courses and clarity in the lessons. I've been taking notes and making notecards and look forward to coming back and learning what's next! I took 10 years of Spanish from 2nd grade to 12th and then lost a lot of it from not using it over the last decade. Went to Spain last week and decided I needed to relearn this beautiful language and feel confident around the world. The dinner thing was a big culture shock when we looked for authentic restaurants open around 6pm! They were all on siesta until 7:30-8pm to start taking reservations. Thanks again!!

This is so true. I married into a latino family and they're always saying 'come at 6' and I've come to learn that they mean they want me to leave my house at 6 not arrive at six. And get used to late nights as well, sometimes we don't get home til 3am.

Muchas gracias. Eres asombroso profesor.

Time concept being different is so true..
I was used to North Indian times of going to the wedding which T+1.5 hour after invite time T. Me and my friends were shocked to see food and furniture being winding up at 10 pm in West India, where as in North of India, wedding go up to 1 am or 2 am in the night/next morning. lol..

I was shocked to hear my german friend calling me late (while in London) when I arrived 6 minutes later than decided time. I was like whatt???

Now I live in south of India where ur friend will tell u he is reaching "now" which means he will start after two hours from now and will reaching 4 hours from now.

It's fascinating how these differences are within one country. I can only imagine how varied they in a global context.

P.S. When we book cabs throughout India, usually they know and arrive 10-15 minutes early. Unless some driver is super unprofessional. Still, as a habit we keep an hour margin in our travel time, so as to make up for these kind of delays.

Thank you watching and learning from Kenya Nairobi

[delarae]

Just next to Uganda is Kenya, where I live and it's pretty much the same. We plan to meet at 4, al be there by 7😂😂

I heard that in Spanish-speaking countries, if an invitation says a party starts at a certain time, you usually arrive a couple hours after that. If you arrive at the time stated, you'll probably find them just starting to put up the decorations.

I would never be able to survive in another country because when you tell me to be somewhere at 8 o'clock, I'm there at 8 o'clock on the dot. I was always raised that. That is the most appropriate way to respond, especially when it comes to your job. I'm always super early, so it would take some time for me to get used to having the lax Daisy arriving time.lol

Indian here. During a holiday I went back home by train. It was scheduled at 9 in the morning. I checked the schedule for 6 previous day. It arrived at 9.10, 9.15, 9.06, atleast 5 minutes late.
We consider it's OK for train to be 10 minutes late. But since I knew the halt at the station was only 1 minute, I decided to take no chances and reached the station at 8.58.
ALAS !! the train was there at 9am sharp and departed at 9.01am😅From that day, I always arrive on time for train journeys

I'm a beginner but just after 15 lessons I've started to think I ain't. Muchisimas gracias!!

I love the academic quarter in Europe. It´s so civilized.

[lisasloan]

I remember being told Spanish people always said mañana mañana… as they were never in a hurry to do things, I guess it is true they are just so chilled. As for the eating late, this is me… I really should be español lol

[jimmyemery]

how do people get enough sleep if they have dinner so late?
