MORE INFO ABOUT THE VIDEO ????
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
Spain is a complex country! It’s also a pretty easy going one. But there are certain things that you just don’t want to get wrong. And here they are!
11. Don’t go OTT on please and thank you.
In Spanish we just don’t use the words as much. We are more likely to work ‘please’ and ’thank you’ into the tone of how we speak, or by tweaking the words (such as adding “ito” to the end of a word).
10. Don’t put bread on your plate.
In Spain, you always leave your bread beside your plate on the table. It sites beside your cutlery, because it kind of is a piece of cutlery.
9. Don’t eat with your hand under the table.
I grew up with no elbows on the table. But here in Spain we also have the rule that you should have your hands above the table at all times. Because you might have a knife??
8. Don’t offer guests a beer at 5pm
Because we eat lunch and dinner later, beer o’clock is usually about 8pm… not 5pm.
7. Don’t help with the dishes after parties.
It’s just not something that’s done here. At the end of a party or dinner party, you might help tidy up slightly, but you don’t help do the dishes.
6. Don’t be a ‘pesado’ in social situations.
Chill out! Don’t ask people what their job is straight away when you meet them in a social setting and don’t expect people to cut to the chase when telling a story - we take our time here!
5. Don’t misinterpret loud conversations.
When Yoly speaks with her mother on the phone, it can get heated. But they’re not arguing - it’s just that conversations here often sound more intense.
4. Don’t generalise about Spain.
This is a highly regional country. So don’t assume that every region of Spain has the same language, customs or food.
3. Don’t call Catalan a dialect of Spanish.
Catalan is its own language - and don’t get that wrong (especially when speaking to a Catalan)
2. Don’t used ‘usted’ willy nilly.
Here in Spain we’re pretty informal and so don’t use “usted” unless we’re speaking with older people or in very formal situations.
1. Don’t mention the civil war casually.
The Spanish civil war and the dictatorship is a really complex topic, and still an open wound in Spain. So wait until you know someone pretty well before diving into the topic.

Adventure Elliot is a bilingual travel vlogger (English and Spanish) with a particular interest in the Spanish speaking world. I enjoy taking adventures - big or small - and my goal is to show the Spanish speaking world 1 video at a time.
The goal of my channel is simple yet complex: I want to document and share authentic & educational content of anything related to Adventure Travel, Geography, & Language in the Spanish-speaking world. It's kind of a loaded topic, but it allows me to never exhaust my creative outlets. The truth is, I've always been extremely passionate about what I'm doing on my channel, but I never properly documented it when I started adventuring as a younger man in my college years. I've made over 150 Youtube videos in both English and Spanish, and I have aspirations to make 1000s more. If that sounds interesting to you, join the community and follow me along the way.. After all, we're just getting started.

Have you heard of Spanish ham - jamón serrano and jamón ibérico (otherwise known as serrano ham and iberico ham)? Have you tasted it? If you have, you'll know that in the world of Spanish food, ham is king! Cured ham from Spain is perhaps the most delicious cured meat in the world. It can be rich and complex like a fine wine. But there are so many grades, and so much confusion about what the different between them are. What's jamón ibérico? What's jamón serrano? What's pata negra! (And remember - it's not called jambon - that's French!). Join me as I discover Spain's famous ham in a traditional market in Madrid. Watch, learn and drool!

How Lithuanians, Latvians, and Estonians Make Fun Of Each Other
So let’s change things up and switch to a much lighter topic for todays video: regional jokes.
The idea came to me when I remembered a Lithuanian friend telling me that there’s an ongoing joke about Estonians being slow. I thought I would run with this idea and see what jokes Lithuanians had for their Baltic neighbours and what our neighbours had to say about Lithuania.

Do Filipinos speak Spanish? | DEBUNKING MYTHS
The Philippines was a former Spanish colony, right? How come they don’t speak Spanish? Or do they?
My Spanish is from backpacking Latin America for 3.5 years - I literally learned from the streets. Whenever people hear me speak Spanish, they automatically assume that Filipinos can speak Spanish but I always tell them it's not the case. Here's a little deep dive about why Filipinos don't speak Spanish. If you have any facts to add, leave them in the comment box below!

Spanish Language | Weather in Spain
Spain Culture and Weather
Spain is a sovereign state and a part of European Union, is located in southwest in Europe occupying most of the Iberian Peninsula. If we consider the area, Spain is the world's 52nd largest country.
Islands, Mountain and Rivers:
Spain includes the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, ad a large number of uninhabited Islands on the side of Mediterranean. Canary Islands, 90 km off the west coast of The Africa, are of volcanic origin. The large central islands, Gran Canatis and Tenerife, have the highest peak. In Spain, Mainland Spain is a mountainous country, and dominated by mountain chains and high plateaus.
There are some major rivers in Spain like as the Ebro, the Duero, the Tagus, the Guadalquivir, and the Guadiana. Alluvial plains are also found along the coast, the biggest of which is that of Guadalquivir in Andalusia.
Climate:
The climate in Spain varies across the country. In Spain there are three climate zones are available, based on orographic conditions and geographical situation, namely the Oceanic Climate, the semiarid climate and the Mediterranean climate. Apart from these three main climate zone, there are other sub-zones that can also be found, such as a typical subtropical climate in Canary Islands, and the alpine climate in the Sierra Nevada and Pyrenees.
The Semiarid climate can be found in the south eastern part of this country, mainly in the region of Ebro valley and in the Murcia. In contrast to the main Mediterranean climate, the dry season continues till the end of summer.
The Mediterranean climate is classified by the cool and wet winters, and dry and warm summers. According to Köppen climate classification, it is dominating in the Iberian Peninsula, with two main varieties: Csa and Csb.
The Oceanic climate is found in the northern area of the country, mainly in the regions of Asturias, Basque Country, Galicia and Cantabria.
Language in Spain:
Culturally, Spain is a Western Country and is openly multilingual country, and constitution established that the nation will protect all Spaniards and the peoples of Spain in the exercise of their cultures and traditions, human rights, languages and institution.
Spanish is the official language of the entire country, and it is the duty and right of every Spaniard to understand this language. The other official languages of this country, co-official with Spanish language are- Galician in Galicia, Catalan in Catalonia and Basque in the Navarre and Basque Country. Spanish is nearly related to the other Iberian Romance Languages: Aragonese, Ladino, Catalan, Galician, Leonese, Asturian, Portuguese and Mirandese. This language has many borrowing from other languages and French and Italian languages have also contributed in its vocabulary.
Vocabulary:
Few words can be different in Spanish language, in different Hipanophone countries. Spanish speakers can easily recognize other Spanish forms, even in the places where they they are not generally used. But in other way, Spaniards do not recognize specifically American usage. Taking as an Example, Spanish mantequilla, aguacate and albaricoque correspond to Manteca, palta, and damasco, respectively, in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Uruguay and Paraguay.
