Wow no comments!! It is really easy to disrespect a Hispanic person!! I have become an expert so I will understand these corrections very mucho 😂 I heard the first advise and it hits home. I for one have to make this a habit, a NEW HABIT. I mean use it all the time. Now I will listen to the rest of the video and probably find more I need to change!! ❤

There are definitely some common courtesies that everyone may not be used to 😅 Luckily the Latino people are generally quite forgiving and won't necessarily hold it against you. Definitely good to know though and like you say, start forming those new habits ☺

You need the accent on “tú”

It is a challenge to motivate students to participate in the lessons, but At Global Spanish and Portuguese students love learning about other cultures, traditions and ways of living. Besides, they can practise the language with native teachers from Argentina, Colombia and Brazil.This is a good way of engaging them.

Panama doesn't use Usted as Mexico does.... yes, they used it in the court with the judge, but not on the street.

Interesting. That's not something I picked up on when I was there. Which part of Panama are you in? What do they use instead?

@RandyRoth-mo3lz 5 ай бұрын

They use Tu for just about anyone.... Except the judge.@@spanishtofluency5262

When I lived in Panama, everyone in my village used Usted.

I live in Orlando with lots of Hispanics, they will not move out of your way. It's kinda annoying

Es verdad. Yes, this is a common, cultural thing in most of Latin America. I'm surprised to hear it's been carried over in Orlando, though. Interesante. Thanks for sharing!
