Spanish Quirks Spain vs Mexico vs Colombia

Maria + Sofía · Spain, Mexico & Colombia

About this episode

Maria sits down with her friend Sofía — a madrileña — and they walk through the same travel day in Spain, Mexico, and Colombia, phrase by phrase. Hotel check-in: ¿Tenéis reserva? (Spain) vs ¿Tiene reservación? (Mexico/Colombia). The restaurant: ¿Qué vais a tomar? vs ¿Qué van a ordenar? vs ¿Les puedo tomar el pedido? The metro: Coged el metro (Spain) vs Toma el metro (Latin America). The coger moment — why this perfectly normal Spain verb surprises everyone south of the border. And how to say "that's cool" in three countries: ¡Qué guay!, ¡Qué padre!, ¡Qué bacano! Every scene plays out in Spanish and English side by side.
