🇲🇽 Mexican vs 🇪🇸 Castilian Spanish - LEARN on Netflix!

Let's learn Mexican Spanish today watching one of my favorite series of all times La Casa de las Flores The House of Flowers Venga, vamos! Or should I say, ándale! Anyone who knows me knows that I love Mexican and Colombian soap operas It's just a fact But for me, a Spanish native speaker from Spain It is kind of hard to understand all of the expressions that they use in the series Because they use Mexican Spanish expressions along with a beautiful Mexican accent Which I'm not really used to hearing However, after watching it, maybe a couple of times I can now say that I've got pretty much a master's degree in Mexican Spanish ¡Órale! So let me show you a few of the most popular slang expressions, shall we? Venga Ok, you might be wondering how are we watching this series Yes, of course on Netflix But connected to Lingopie Let me show you If you're an English speaker and you're looking to practice your Spanish understanding Watching series on Netflix You need something to help you out I recommend you use Lingopie It's basically the Netflix of language learning And yes, you connect it to your Netflix account Let me show you how to connect it Log on to your account Then click on Netflix Selects Once you click on there, download the extension You will see it on the top right And you can start watching your favorite series Today we're going to be watching La Casa de las Flores The House of Flowers So I've got it ready right there And you can access all your shows in Spanish They also have movies, music, audiobooks, podcasts And the best thing by far are their tools to help you with vocab retention Like the flashcards that you create with the words that you don't know The quizzes Or the Say It feature Foreshadowing pronunciation practice I personally love that one This is how it works First, adjust the speed to fit your level and your requirements You can see it down here Choose beginner, intermediate, advanced, whatever suits you Or even full speed Choose which subtitles you want I usually go for the double subtitles Spanish and English I think that's the most practical But you also have mashup and transliteration As you start watching, you can hover over a word to find out its meaning And then, if you don't know the word, add it to your flashcards You can also check the pronunciation there You can test your knowledge later on going to your flashcards Notice that on the right-hand side you also have the on-screen transcriptions The whole script of the series, so you don't have to keep going backwards It's honestly by far the best app to learn languages whilst watching your favorite shows It saves a ton of time and it's super practical If you want to try it out and test it for yourself They now have a 7-day free trial And if you like it as much as I think you're going to like it They currently have this discount on I will leave everything for you on the link in the top of the description Now, let's crack on with those expressions ¡Venga, vamos! Today we're analyzing expressions from the first chapter So if you're doing the same as me and you're starting this series It's only capítulo 1, ¿vale? Nos vamos a la primera expresión que me llamó la atención ¡Esa vieja horrorosa! In this case, what does the word vieja mean? If you hover over it, it means old woman Yes, una vieja, it's an old woman I don't recommend that you say this to anyone's face, by the way You might get slapped Pero, in this case, Mexican people refer to any woman as a vieja, ¿ok? Like normally an awful woman, ok? It's not a pretty compliment if you call somebody a vieja ¡Esa vieja! So, it's just a woman Maybe not a very nice woman But not necessarily old Whereas if we use that in Spain It would only be applicable to old women ¡Seguimos con más expresiones! ¡Mi chiquita, mi amor! Do you like my Mexican accent? It's terrible, I know ¡Lo siento, mexicanos, mexicanas! ¡Perdonadme, por favor! ¡Vale! Mi chiquita, mi amor Chiquita Algo que es chiquito It's small, it's little, isn't it? So, mi chiquita, my little girl Mi chiquita If it was mi chiquito, my little boy, ok? Mi chiquita, mi amor My little girl If you want, just add a few flashcards in there You can do She says No, no, no, no We wouldn't say that in Spain We'd say What does mean? Little right now You know when you add that ending just like we've done with chiquito, chiquita It means that something's little or cute So in this case means not right now but she's saying it in kind of a sweet way, ok? They translate it as little right now It means right now ahorita, ahorita However, this is one of those tricky words, ok? Because it doesn't mean right now If you say ahorita, it can range between right now and next year ahorita, sí, sí ahorita, ahorita It's one of those words that you really doesn't have a clue what it means It's like you know when in Spain we say el otro día the other day For me, the other day can actually be the other day or it can mean something that happened three years ago the other day So this is kind of similar ahorita is a time frame but it's it's a time word time reference word but it can it doesn't necessarily mean right now Ahí tenéis las dos opciones You've got both options there ándale and vamos Vamos is what we would say in Spain Vamos, venga, vamos You've heard me saying that pretty much in every single one of my videos So vamos, come on ándale What does ándale mean? If we have a regret Come on Same thing And vamos Let's go Very Mexican Ándale, ándale Órale ¿Qué dice? Órale ¿Qué significa órale? Wow As you can see on the translation Wow In Spain we would actually just say Wow ¿Quién es Roberta? No vamos a hablar de eso ahorita No, sí vamos a hablar de eso ahorita ¿Quién es Roberta? Wait, hay una... Apúrense ¿De acuerdo? Apúrense ¿Qué significa apúrense? Apúrense Hurry up In Spain we wouldn't say it In Spain we would say Date prisa Hurry up En México Apúrense And notice that they're using the usted form because in Mexico you don't refer to people even though you're very informal even if you're very close to those people you would not refer to them in an informal way of vosotros you would use ustedes instead and that's what they're doing that's why they're saying Apúrense instead of Apuraos In Spain again we wouldn't use either we would just go for Date prisa or Daos prisa ¿Quién? ¿Quién es Roberta? Wait, hay una muerta en la florería Wait If there's a Mexican word we all know I think that's wait, right? Wait Wait means dude Wait Like man Woman Dude Okay Wait ¿Hay una muerta en la florería? ¿Quién es Roberta? Wait, hay una muerte en la florería Eches la muerte ¿De qué chingados hablas? I love this one Chingados I think is one of those wildcard words that it can be used in many, many, many different contexts and it can change slightly but it's normally a kind of swear word okay? A cheeky word In this case it means if we hover over it What the ****? ¿De qué chingados hablas? What the **** are you talking about? ¿De qué chingados hablas? What the hell Okay There's also different variations of it I've had Chingón Chinga Chingada Okay So you can change it as you wish Paulina, no mames No mames Again, this one is not something you want to use lightly No mames But it's very, very Mexican Mamar is literally the action of being breastfed Okay Sucking from a breast Mamar In this case No mames It means No ---- Like don't mess with me In Spain we would say No me jodas Okay No me jodas No mames No mames, ¿qué haces tú? ¿Estás pendejo o qué? Pendejo One of those words I think that are super, super popular I love this word Pendejo is like stupid, idiot Un pendejo Eres idiota Eres tonto Pendejo in Mexico, okay Pendejo or pendeja There you have it Now the one that's coming up I had never heard it before Until I was watching the series And guess how I learnt it Thanks to Lingokite A ver, no Paulina Yo voy a cortar el chupe y tú me... Voy a ir a cortar el chupe El chupe I'm going to cut the drinks, okay I'm going to stop the drinks El chupe Chupar is to lick, okay In this case Chupar is to drink for them, okay That's the meaning over here So el chupe is the drinks Las bebidas we would say in Spain Los cubatas Even if you put it a bit more In slang, alcoholic way Yo voy a cortar el chupe Y tú me deciles al DJ Que ponga rolas de Luis Miguel Okay Y tú dile al DJ Que ponga rolas de Luis Miguel Rolas Again, I had no idea Thank God I had the translation over there I could have guessed it from the context In all fairness Because I know Luis Miguel I love his music I know he's a very famous singer So Rolas is songs, okay Rolas, songs In Spain we would say Canciones We wouldn't say rolas And I had no idea what that meant Next one I think you're going to know What it means Julián ¿Qué onda contigo? ¿Vale? ¿Qué onda? In Spain we would say ¿Qué pasa? ¿Qué pasa contigo? ¿Qué pasa? Meaning What's up? What's up with you? ¿Qué onda? Onda means wave Literally, okay The vibration Of the wave ¿Onda? ¿Qué onda? So In this case ¿Qué onda? ¿Qué pasa? Complete different expressions But exact same meaning ¿Qué pasa? What's up? ¿Qué onda? What's up? ¡Ay! ¡Par de chismosos! Couple of gossips, okay Chismosos Gossips, okay People who like to gossip In Spain we would call them Cotillas De toda la vida Cotillas El cotilleo Is the gossip, okay El chisme Is the gossip In Latin America In this case Mexico, okay So Chismosos Exactly the same As cotillas Cotillas I didn't know this one ¡Y me quedan dos más! Two more for you Mi mamá debería vender la floría No, no estás diciendo puras babosadas ¡Puras babosadas! Nada más estás diciendo Puras babosadas What is babosadas? Babosear Is to dribble, okay The baba is the dribble Babosear, okay Is to talk rubbish To talk bullshit if you wish There you go Just bullshit Puras babosadas Is translated as talking rubbish In Spain we would never use that expression We would use something like Tonterías Gilipolleces Okay Something along those lines Mierdas If you wish I think gilipolleces would be a very Spanish word Estás diciendo gilipolleces That's how I would say it Estás diciendo gilipolleces Babosadas I really like it I think it's very visual ¿Qué hacen aquí adentro? ¿Por qué se acabó tan rápido la peda? Okay ¿Por qué se acabó tan rápido la peda? Why did the party end so quickly? I love how they call a party A peda Why? Because in Spain Pedo, estar pedo Is to be drunk To be wasted In Mexico La peda Is the party Why? I'm assuming because you get drunk at a party Okay So La peda The party And pedo in Spain Is to be drunk So that's kind of similar But we To say a party We would just say La fiesta Okay La fiesta Y hasta aquí hemos llegado hoy This is the analysis of the first episode Mexican vs Castilian Spanish Using Lingopie and the House of Flowers I hope you have enjoyed it If you haven't watched this series Highly, highly recommend It's absolutely hilarious It's a drama but it's actually comedy And the main actress She is super, super, super divertida Me encanta la trama I love the plot I love the characters Give it a go And if you're still not using Lingopie I can't wait to help you With your language learning journey ¿A qué esperas?
