Bought mine 15 mins ago. THANK YOU!

Thanks, Brenda!

Just snagged one. I’m excited! I have been on the fence. Nothing like being in Mexico for a month and wanting to get better- along with a sale! 😍🤣

I am a intermediate speaker. I've studied in community colleges in the U.S. and in Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende. But I need to review some grammar rules like pronouns and articles. And most importantly I need to speak and comprehend more. I am currently living in Los Cabos. Would you recommend this program to get conversational? Gracias!!

@@Joyexpanded Thanks, Rachel. We appreciate that! I think you'll get a lot of use out of it.

What if you like golf?

Low traffic???? Are you sure you were IN the city and not a small town?

Lol low traffic?

I know, felt that too, like potential.

Brilliant!!👍🏻🙏🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Wow thanks

Yes, I agree and noticed quite a few places offering discount prices for a month stay off their regular prices. You can prob easily negotiate a month to month stay at an AiR BnB. The nonsense of signing a regular one year lease there is not worth the hassle.

Pues si no te gusta vete y ya no hables mal de Querétaro, los mexicanos no hablamos mal de de los americanos...

@@josehernandez5425 Ellos no están hablando mal de Querétaro . Al contrario. Solo Estan haciendo el favor dando datos y informes para k la gente tomo decisiones a sabiendas y no lleguen a ciegas . Lo cual se les agradece .

I had the same impression as you, even for Mexicans arriving to town it is hard to enter to the tiny “friendship” circle. I wonder if when they say “I’m busy”, “perhaps next time”, it is some sort of ghosting… as you don’t make the fit.

@@mecanicucho Is true, in this city like many other big cities you can expect people to be friendly (specially if you are a foringer because mexicans are usually more friendly with foringers than with locals) and very polite, even helpful at sometimes...but that doesn´t mean they have accepted you as their true friend.

Se les llama clasistas

@@mecanicucho that's exactly what I thought

That’s true for most cities in the “Bajío” area, SLP, Leon, Queretaro itself, people is kind of classist here (I’m from SLP) I love my city and all but I’ve heard even from Mexicans from south or north it’s a difficult place to fit in, we are like the cold serious ones from Mexico

Alamos is really nice!

That’s not our MO. Since so many people have told us they’re moving here because they’ve seen some of our videos, we want everyone to have a balanced picture of what this city is like, the good, bad, and in between

😂

I was thinking the same, ha ha ha That what it sounds like guys! All you have to say is cartel activity is becoming popular here, ha ha and gringos will stay away!

@@crosas13 ha ha

@@crosas13 if that were true gringos wouldn’t enter a foot in Mexico at all. That’s why you have youtubers going to the center of Culiacán vlogging with captions “entering Sinaloa cartel city” or something dumb like that

@@germandemarcos2799 se ve que les ha encantado estar aquí y no los culpo. Adoro sus videos porque como queretana me siento en los cuernos de la luna. Saludos cordiales.

Yo entre al video x que no podía creer que no pudieron aguantar vivir aquí osea en. Querétaro aunque pensé que iba a estar en español no entiendi nada

Bueno, debe ser en gran parte porque es donde se ubica la mayor parte de la industria aeronáutica nacional. Además de que no es el caos que es la CDMX. No vivo en Querétaro y nunca he estado en esa ciudad por más de unos minutos ( porque paso por ahí en coche o en camión para ir a Guadalajara), aunque tengo familia que ha vivido en Querétaro y me han dicho que es una muy buena ciudad. Quisiera poder tener algún día la oportunidad de conocer esa ciudad de la que tantas maravillas me han dicho.

I want to move there. Fresh air.

Yeah, that's one demographic that I think Querétaro would be appealing to.

I don't think that Querétaro appeals to an older, retired community which is reflected in the low numbers of expats there. Querétaro is a vibrant, busy urban city with a lot of business going on and not a laid back place that retired folks are going to search out. Many came from that environment and want a different pace of life in retirement. I speak from experience! 😊

@@lauriedawes6003 Oh, I didn't mean it as a reflection of the city as a whole. It certainly seems like a place of upwardly mobile people living rich, full, lives. I meant it more as a suggestion for those who want to keep their standard of living and retire in a foreign country for a lower cost of living.

@@spackle9999 I agree that it is much easier to keep a higher standard of living in Mexico when retired, especially if one comes from more expensive areas in the US. I just think that there are some towns in Mexico that would be more suited to retired expats than Querétaro as a lot of retirees don't want to buy a car and need to have most of their daily requirements available in either a comfortable walking distance, or a short taxi ride. Smaller cities like San Miguel de Allende, Ajiic, etc. fit those requirements. That is why they are more popular with expats, along with the many cultural and historic attractions, at least as far as San Miguel goes. It is interesting to read all of the comments about how expensive it is to live in San Miguel De Allende. Around 140,000 Mexicans live in San Miguel and they are not making large incomes! A large number of expats move to San Miguel on very small social security pensions and are able to live very comfortably with lowish rents and general costs that are one third to one half of some expenses in the US. As anywhere, if you want to live inexpensively you have to shop where the locals shop and avoid the tourist hangouts. You also have to do your homework ahead of time to find out how the locals find the more inexpensive rentals, etc.

You can also live like a king (or maybe just a prince!) if you have the funds that would be considered moderate to good in the US! 😉

It is quite expensive now. It used to be a quaint small colonial town. But that is gone now.

I would definitely invite you to visit and decide by yourself maybe being here is different than what ppl show... There's nothing like experience it yourself

Buenos Aires, Argentina has some amazing weather if you are not specific about Mexico. Also, San Diego, California is nice if you don't necessarily want to live abroad.

Viví en Querétaro es un lugar hermoso .no se de que hablan estos tontos

Do you like chápala area

@@MariaVargas-oq1bh YES. It is now the rainy season so things are green and clean. I very rarely have to wear long pants or long sleeves. No need for AC, just the ceiling fan. The friendships we have made with other expats was totally unexpected. I did not know I could make friends that fast or that deeply. The area still has Mexican village life if you choose to live more in Chapala than in Ajijic. Lots to explore just around the lake.

I think you are getting a wrong impresion about Quretaro from this video, I love this guys but I am totally againts of what they review, QRO is a lovely city and one of the best in every category in Mexico, btw no car traffic, great comunity and good vibe all around, being her for 16 year and no coming back to the states for any reason, me an my family have a wonderful life here.

If you want a small town I recommend you San Juan del Río, it's in Querétaro but it's smaller, there's not traffic, and it has all the necessary things for living. The big city it's Only 30 mins. and near Querétaro are several other regions such as Tequisquiapan, Colon, Amealco if you want to go and pass the time, also there's wine and cheese Route. 2 hours by car if you want to go to Mexico city. Is pretty and if you want practice your English this place is cool bc we don't have nothing in that language lol

Thanks Nadene, glad it was helpful!

Siempre que he visitado la cd de México, la verdad ni ganas de regresar por la ciudad y su gente, no son muy gratas. Yo soy del norte.

Este video es oar otros hringis compa no llorey recoja la basur para que no se le inunden su ciudad

Pero estos 2 gringos hablan mal de México en todos sus videos

@@estheresparza8845 yes, they base everything on price and how cheap. Everyone loves a deal, however the reason I love Mexico is they culture friendly and people who are always Respectful and polite. Mexicans have a passion for life and they live it! I think these two are trying to live on KZfaq instead of working jobs so they use there titles to there videos as “ click-bate” sadly they give very little relative info.. my opinion of course.

Que viva queretaro en especial el marques

There used to be a lot. In the 70s and 80s.

So not true...many, many gringos in SMA! Maybe on week ends you see tourists in Centro from MC who flock here, but no gringos in restaurants😳

Oh it's completely different from the quaint little city it was in the 80s. It's grown a lot, has horrible traffic, and is really hot due to deforestation. There are water shortages.

Juan Carlos Ceballos We are specific the city itself, not this beautiful state...

La ciudad es una cosa la gente otra.

visitar una cosa, vivir otra

Buenos días vialiv!

I am from northern California born and raised , moved to Queretaro 10 yrs ago . I like Queretaro more than California . Welcome to California hope you enjoy your life in my home state as much as I enjoy mine in yours

@@richardwright4265 greetings my friend

ajajaj no mms la policía del vocabulario

Damn brom..how, or where did you learn English??? You lived in the states at some point in your life??

@@mr_4point681 yeah I was living in Chicago for a couple of years.

I'll answer this quickly here. People seem to treat their dogs well here, much better than in many other cities that we've been to. There are very few dog-friendly restaurants but there are a lot of dog-friendly parks, including dog parks. Throughout the city, you'll see tons of people walking their dogs every day.

@@TangerineTravels, Thank you for your response! I am delighted to hear this. :)

I moved there in 2008 and can tell you the following. One place near Mercado la Cruz had a chocolate labrador as a guard dog. It's bark was worse than its bite. I soon made friends and used to stroke it through the bars. I lived in one place near to Av Constituyentes and rented it on the agreement it was somewhere I could work in peace (writing). After a short while one guy moved out and a couple moved in downstairs. They had a dog shut in a "patio" area about 3'x6' (1m x 2m) all day, when they went out to work. The poor dog barked incessantly until after a fortnight I told the landlord it was them or me. They left, fortunately. Many dogs are kept outside as guard dogs and are often shut outside on roofs all day in the hot sun with no water. I felt sorry for them. A mate from Manchester lived in the Centro Histórico but brought his St Bernard to live with him. The last I heard he was evicted from his apartment due to its loud barking upsetting all the neighbours. Many dogs are kept outside as guard dogs and are often shut outside on roofs all day in the hot sun with no water. One guy I met had just spent the night in the clink at Santa Rosa Jáuregui, which is one of the seven boroughs in the municipality of Santiago de Querétaro. He had recently paid for a pair of American Pit Bull puppies. Unfortunately two of his cousins came around and let them out purposefully, which led to fisticuffs. Someone I know had a German Shepherd and a Belgian Shepherd, after they died she bought a Husky. Huskies, as well as Old English Sheepdogs are very popular in Querétaro. I couldn't think of many dogs more unsuited to the climate and feel sorry for them too. Her Husky lives alongside some rabbits and one day the dog (a bitch) went slurp and swallowed one of the baby rabbits (kittens). Huskies, being pack dogs, are also impossible to train, even using English commands (used often in Mexico for brief, direct commands using the imperative tense). The best dog to get in Mexico, to my mind, would be a Chihuahua or a Xoloitzcuintle - Perro pelón mexicano or Mexican hairless dog; some have hair, even from the same litter. The "Xolo" - I've also heard "Cuintle" (wrinkled) comes pretty much like its owners, in small, medium, and large sizes.

How many years would you say it took for prices to double?

Five.

My place in Vegas spiked 25 percent in the last three months. Relativity is crucial.

True rents and purchase prices have increased in MXN Pesos ,factor in the dollar to peso exchange over the past ten years . Also factor in wages as a example a maid 6hr wage ten years ago was 250.00 MXN today 400.00 MXN . The cost of living in Queretaro is high so is the standard of living , one needs to consider both seriously before moving here as the Tangerine couple pointed out

@@TangerineTravels Querétaro has had a real estate Bubble for more than decade, due to meney laundering from drug trafficking. Once the bubble bursts, some will flee the city, and the economy will falter. That happened to Puebla in the 90s.

Wow, thank you!

The winter is dry in Queretaro , humidifiers work great here in bedrooms at night

No you dont

Actually, the semi-arid weather does not mean that it is not green. Unfortunately, the planning of green areas in the city was a mess, leading to end up having non local plants inside the city, which require a lot of water, so -if it is not raining- they seems super dry. For instance, why do we need to have grass in the public parks? Besides, 70% of city's the green areas are trapped in private areas. If there would have been a bit more care on allowing beauitful local trees as huizaches and mezquites to grow, Querétaro could seem greener. Just go to El Batan area, and you'll see how green it is during the rainy season :).

What do You want to know about Guadalajara and Chapala? I AM in Ajijic and have spent months in Guadalajara as well. I speak spanish and hang out more in the barrio áreas than the majoeity of gringos. I know the good the Bad and the ugly of México, having been here the past 16 months and all over the country.

Querétaro es una ciudad que no tiene agua, la traen de lugares lejanos y no es nada barata. Y particularmente es una ciudad con violencia en ascenso, la delincuencia está creciendo exponencialmente.

I like Guadalajara. It is a big cheap city with a lot of culture, history and attractions but the best is its people; they are friendly and women are beautiful. The only downside is that crime has been rising considerably in the last 2 or3 years mainly because of the drug cartel CJNG.

@@utecastronoova863 , thank you I will get back to you with a couple of particulars, good resources are very nice to have!

@@chicogozosodecabellosedoso thank you so much for your input, it is very consistent with what I’ve been told.

Thank you!

It's a good thing that we all have our own preferences, otherwise everyone would be living in the same place.

Querétaro Is probably the most central state in all of Mexico, and it has very few large bodies of water, so yeah, it's very landlocked. About 6 to 8 hours driving distance to Acapulco, one of the closest beaches.

Some of the same reasons for me being landlocked but it was one of the cities I'm very interested in besides Puerto Vallarta and Merida but who knows until I get down there.

Some place I would not visit if they're that SNOTTY 🤔🤦‍♀️

Check out Proyecto 7. They have 3 locations in town, plus 8 more open in Estado de México and CDMX. They are also working on opening 8 more.

Si hay espacios especializados en el co-working

To answer that I'd have to break it down to things like: favorite place for a weekend getaway, favorite place to live, favorite beach destination, favorite mountain town, favorite nature getaway, and so on.

@@TangerineTravels favourite place to live by the beach 😁

Queretaro es demasiado grande. Prefiero vivir en una ciudad pequeña donde todo esté a no más de 25 minutos caminando.

Thanks Gianna!

It is but for those who are looking for different things

que triste eso de clase

@@gdew9643 pues Si, pero se da bastante. Claro que puedes conocer y tratar gente rica, pero no esperar entrar a su círculo si no eres de los pudientes. Yo creo que ya lleva años esa situación, mi abuelito también lo decía. El ya murió de 95 años en el 2018

Thanks for picking up Rocket Languages! We obviously like the course but I have to say I think it's also a great idea to do what you're doing and utilize other forms of learning as well. For example, whenever we're watching tv in English, we'll have Spanish subtitles on. There are also some great Spanish shows on Netflix that are excellent for learning the language such as Rosario. It's a nice mix of Mexico Spanish from the high-class to the working-class to the gangbangers from the hood of Mexico City, so you get a wide variety of accents, slang, and sentence structure. We'll watch these shows with the audio in Spanish and the captions in either spanish or english depending on how comfortable we are with that particular show.

@@TangerineTravels Exactly ‼️ 👍 So you two are really getting into the grammar weeds with the different cultures-within-the-culture. Good for you; you're seeing those eyebrows rise now, when the native speakers realize you *did* understand their colloquialism? I've even got a couple of 25¢ old-school Spanish I & II books I picked up at a Library sale to dig into verbs and etc. I love the photos in them, from different Spanish-speaking places in the 🌎 -- there are so many!

If you own your house you can add a whole house water filtration system and a water softener. I guess you could add this to a rental if you were going to be there a long time to make it worth the expense.

It ,is a great place to live, I lived in Queretaro for 3 years, but i decided to live near the beach and a different type of envyroment, and more relaxed so moved to La Paz...Queretaro is a preppy city.

@ Nice and very quite, during the day, specially if its too hot, you wont see many people om the streets ultill 5 pm specially if you go to the malecon...

I would suggest you get a technical skill, or save enough money to buy property and rent it out for income. I been meeting many Mexicans that were deported from the US here in Mexico City and they are having a hard time getting the same amount of pay they got in the US

@borderpolice get this guy

Uber is almost outlawed in Querétaro. The taxi cab drivers organized to keep it out. You'll do better with other apps. Or taxi cabs.

400 USD a month is easy in México. Even here in Ajijic where all the retired gringos are you can get a great place for 400 monrhly. Out of all the places in México i have been, Ajijic is closest to California living i have found so far. Reminds me of Santa Barbara quite a bit

Move to Florida. 😐

@@rockon8174 That's not in Mexico?😑 Seriously, I'm planning to relocate in 5 years, but need to make sure the city I move to won't further aggravate my allergies. They are that bad. I once even considered Georgia, but a trip to Atlanta left me sneezing 🤧 nonstop. I try to stay in area with mostly palm trees. I tend to do better in tropical climates.

@@Shazzyhtown Florida is a tropical climate. 😐

@@rockon8174 -are you crazy? Allergy sufferers go through living hell in Florida-the weather is even more humid & super hot than Texas. The best place for someone with allergies is California! My friend’s BF had to do that & he loves it!

@@karislevy2572 are there cheaper places in California?? I work remote so employment isn't an issue. So tired of dealing with my allergies 😔. The local honey remedy never worked for me.

También yo pero no se atreven.

Additionally, as a senior in my upper 80’s. I vowed when I first became serious about making Mexico my new home, that I would never dwell on my new country’s shortcomings and only embrace wholly, all that I find that pleases me and serves me in a positive and enriching new life. Plus make many new friends as I enjoy. Everything Mexico has to offer.

Do not take yourself so seriously I was being supportive of the video. I have visited it’s not my speed.
