    Gracias a los interesados por aprender mi bello idioma y por aprender sobre mi país 🇲🇽
  • @Lowtop0728
    Im korean and i love mexico! Your video is helpful for me. Gracias!
  • @diederdas27
    I was having trouble deciding which dialect of Spanish to focus on (I’m very very beginner lol) and this video has solved that problem for me, tysm!
  • @franciscoacr
    Yo, un mexicano: mmm que video tan interesante, vamos a aprender a hablar español mexicano 🤓☝🏻
  • @Efesus67
    I would recommend Juan Villoro's talk on Mexica City's culture.
  • I feel like I’m getting much closer to improving on my Spanish because of you.❤
  • I really like you videos I just started to try learning two weeks ago , it’s very tough . I thought about giving up multiple times but ig it’s going to be a new years res lol
  • Thank you for the social media recommendations! I've been learning Spanish for around 2-3 years and I'm at a point where I've stopped trying to learn and want to become more immersed in the language so that I can practice. Thankfully I'm already following No Hay Tos and How to Spanish on Spotify so that's a great start.
  • @LookAtHa
    To answer your question on hearing the difference: I heard it immediately lol. I'm from Alabama and we have a large Hispanic population in my area. The initial clip was definitely giving España which sounds so different to my ears than what I'm used to hearing which is mainly Mexican Spanish.
  • @omglyssa4475
    Tandem is amazing for me!! Definitely helped me talk about all sorts of topics and all the vocab needed
  • Tú eres la viva imagen de que podemos hablar como nativos y que nos pregunten si en verdad lo somos jajaja me encanta tu español nunca me cansaré de decirlo es que es impresionante aunque yo no soy mexicano si se nota que tienes influencias de su forma de hablar y en algunas ocasiones me encuentro a gente diciendo he incluso tu lo comentaste en el video de que porqué aprendiste con el acento mexicano y en ocasiones discuto con ellos diciendo que no importa que acento hayas elegido si encontraste tu acento favorito o el que te adaptaste más rapido no hay problema de todas formas todo aquel que hable español te entenderá pero los chil.... bromas jajaja los quiero a todos
  • @COOLHANDSOME95
    Thank you for this video! I've been wanting to learn Spanish to speak to my family, especially my grandma but schools only ever taught Spain Spanish 😅 so watching this is helpful on where to start and hopefully surprise everyone!
  • @anezkaturkova
    Hey Elysse, another nice little cozy video🥰👍🏻 I was wondering, if you wouldn't do a video about some fun resources, that you use to study German passively 🤔 pretty much like you recommend in this video. Podcasts, movies, series etc. Maybe I'm just not thorough enough but I just can not find any immersive series in German... 😂
  • Hablas super bien jajajaja, me encanta como usas palabras muy mexicanas. Gracias por aprender español ❤
  • @Cathildreth
    Your video is so inspiring! I just started learning Spanish and Turkish. I am super super beginner and I love your passion for learning languages! By the I am learning Colombian Spanish!😂
  • @alaynaalaras562
