Hello friends, how are you? I hope you're doing very, very well. And now we're going to do something really fun—we're going to react in Spanish to some famous people. And we'll see how their accents and pronunciation are, overall. If you like the video, please give it a like and also subscribe so you can watch more cool videos like this one. And without further ado, let's give it a go. Well, first let's start with Luka Domljić, sorry if I pronounce it wrong. He is a famous football player from Slovenia. And this video, according to the morning news in Dallas, says he speaks perfect Spanish, so let's see if that's true. Let's see. Well, more or less, whatever can be done. Of course, he speaks Spanish very well. You can tell it has a more Spanish accent, for example, when the 'c' is pronounced, right? And also the z's also, c, z, instead of c, z. Also when he said the word, for example, energy. The "g" was very strong when he said it, energy. But aside from that, he speaks perfect Spanish, it's obvious. And I've also heard that he talks with a teammate. So what we're going to do is we're going to look at and review our team member's Spanish. Let's see how good your Spanish is. Your teammate is named Kristaps Porziņis. And I think, I don't know where he's from, but I also think he's from somewhere like Slovenia, countries like that. And let's see, let's see. There they speak Spanish, Barea, Luca, and you. Do you think that gives them any advantage on the court to communicate better? Well, sometimes we communicate in Spanish when we don't want the other team to know what we're doing. That really does help us in some situations. Ok, well, your accent is good. He speaks it well. And something important he said was that, he said, we don't want the other team to find out, to find out what we're saying. That's something more advanced because that's the use of the subjunctive. Of course we're not going to talk about that in this video. But that is a concept found in more advanced Spanish. And he also has a good accent, come on. But I'd say that most of the time we speak in English. Off the field, during this adaptation process, has the ability to live together and communicate in Spanish been helpful to them? Yes, certainly. There are a lot of Latin people here in Dallas, a lot of people who speak Spanish. I absolutely love seeing people's faces when they hear me speaking Spanish—they don't expect it. Yes, he speaks very well. He and his friend, I think his name is Luca, both of them speak it well. And they speak it fluently, it's obvious. Of course, just like me, even I have problems with my Spanish, sometimes I say things incorrectly. But he speaks it well; his Spanish is perfectly understandable. So he speaks Spanish very well. And even when he said, "We don't want him to find out," that's very good Spanish. Well, next up is Gwyneth Paltrow, who I've heard speak very good Spanish as well. Let's take a look at this interview, let's see how good his Spanish is. I'm with Gwyneth Paltrow, a great Oscar-winning, Golden Globe-winning actress. Any prize, that woman has it. How wonderful it is to be with you, how elegant. Thank you. You're impressive when speaking Spanish. Tell me, where did you learn it? And why did you get excited about learning Spanish? Well, when I was 15 years old, I was studying Spanish at New York High School. And the teacher told us, well, there's an opportunity to go to Spain to study there. Then I did an exchange and lived with a family in central Spain, near Toledo. Well, it's clear she also speaks Spanish very well. Apart from a few mistakes he made, even his accent is very good. It has a pronunciation just as good as the two we've just seen. She has a more Spanish accent. One can tell by the way he speaks, how... Thus. Yes, but he speaks it very well. Well then, let's keep listening to her. And I loved it. And it was like a very important season in my life. I love Spain, the Latin culture. I always go to Mexico, for example. I really like the culture, the language, and the people. Well, obviously, as I already said, he speaks it very well. And as I said, he went to Spain. Many times people ask me the same question. Hey, do I have to visit a Spanish-speaking country to improve my Spanish? No, the answer is no, not necessarily. What I did was learn Spanish, the rules, and everything else at school. But the good thing about traveling or living in a country where only Spanish is spoken It's that you're immersed in the language. That's how you learn a language, isn't it? You're always speaking the language, listening to it. That's how a language is learned. So, very well, he speaks Spanish with the Paltrow. We will now proceed to Viggo Mortensen. Interesting. He speaks Spanish very well. Very, very, very well. He speaks a little quietly, as it's a bit harder to hear him. But I've noticed that sometimes that happens to me when I speak Spanish. Sometimes I have a lower voice, just like him. But he also has another accent. Maybe Spain or Argentina, I'm not very sure. But it's noticeable when he speaks. He doesn't always finish his sentences. That is, instead of saying, How are you? He might possibly say, "How are you?" So, instead of, how are you? Of course, I speak a more Mexican Spanish, which is more pronounced, you could say. But he speaks Spanish really well. Right down to the grammar, the rules, and everything. And of course, his accent is very, very good. Well then, let's continue with Ben Affleck. Well, at first it's noticeable that he has a stronger accent. You can tell he's a gringo. But it seems to me that he does speak it well. And he understands it. Sometimes what happens is that many people can speak Spanish well. They can speak fluently. But sometimes their accent is very bad. And sometimes that affects how natives perceive you. In Puerto Rico and on film, I spoke Spanish. It was very, very exciting for me. But I want to do it again too. It seems to me that these actors have, I don't know, a Spanish more typical of Spain or such countries. But he speaks Spanish well. Not as good as the basketball players we just saw. But he speaks it well and is easily understood. Well, now let's move on to Camila Cabello, whom I've heard about. She speaks Spanish, but she is Cuban. And sometimes what happens with Cubans, with the minors who are Cuban, Sometimes they don't speak the language as well as older people do. Camila Cabello He has a very good accent. It is immediately noticeable that he/she indeed has a very good accent. But he said some things incorrectly. For example, when I was talking about a song, Instead of saying "la" for the object pronoun, he said "lo." But they're just small things, so they're really not that important. So many people feel connected to the song. It's a blessing. That is the clothing in the locker room. And we have white clothes here for when we're singing outside, Because we sweat a lot and black makes us feel hotter. Well, we wrote many of the songs on the album. So, we're sharing who we are with the fans, which is very special. It's noticeable that he speaks Spanish, but he actually speaks it very well. Of course, she has a very good accent for being Cuban. And yes, it does say a few things incorrectly, but not by much. It doesn't matter so much. It's well understood. He speaks it well. Great work, Camila. Well then, let's continue with the very famous Will Smith. For Latinos, why should everyone see After Earth? The film is based on a thousand years in the future. I'm afraid because I need to practice my Spanish more. But the movie has action and special effects. But the movie is about a father and his son, how do you say that? Survive. Well, I like it. Obviously, it's clear he doesn't speak Spanish very well. But I still understand it, and I like that he puts in effort. He is not afraid. He has a lot of energy. And that's good. I think often what happens with those who are learning another language It's that often they feel embarrassed and are afraid to speak the language. But the most important thing that can be done to improve your level of Spanish is to speak the language. That's how a language is learned—by speaking it and listening to it. Being truly immersed in the language will greatly help your speaking ability and comprehension. So I really like that he puts in effort. Obviously, it's clear that it lacks a good accent, proper vocabulary, and grammar. But you can still understand it. And that's what matters most, isn't it? Well, let's continue with Matthew McConaughey. I've heard he doesn't speak Spanish very well, but we'll see. I have a friend, a champion, who also has a message for you. Well, obviously, Matthew has a very strong accent, especially since he's from Texas. So it has a more ranch-type accent, right? From the United States. But that's how you speak, right here in my home, isn't it? But obviously, he's also reading something, so his grammar in this video is fine. But his accent, obviously, shows he's from a state like Texas. Well, anyway, let's see if there's more. Let's check what my friend Canelo says. Well, it's really cool that he did a collaboration with Canelo. If you don't know it yet, you have to look it up. Well, anyway, there's nothing to say. You can understand what he's saying. No more does it have a more ringing accent. But hey, many times it doesn't matter what accent the person has. In my opinion, yes, I do like having a more authentic accent. But when you no longer want to learn the language, just to be able to have some simple conversations, Oh no more, or you don't care about the accent, well then, go ahead, it's fine like this. Now let's move on to Selena Gomez. Okay. Selena, welcome to El Hormiguero, welcome to Spain. Thank you very much. Well, do you speak a little Spanish? No, a little less. Well, it's obvious he doesn't speak Spanish very well. But actually, I think I just created a song with, I think it was Ozuna, I'm not entirely sure. And I like the song, honestly. Well, he has an accent, and I don't know where he's from, I'm not sure if he's like Mexican American or not, I'm not really certain. But many times what happens with those who have parents who speak Spanish, But they don't, as children don't talk about it, sometimes they feel very ashamed. For example, when I was in high school, I had many people in my classes who were of Latin descent. But they couldn't speak Spanish, and many of those people feel ashamed. And if you are one of them, don't worry. Isn't it more important that you learn the language of your ancestors, now isn't it? That's the most important thing; don't be ashamed. Even if you might have a more gringo-like accent or something like that, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you're putting in the effort and that you want to learn the language your family speaks. That is more important. Alright, guys, the video is up. Thank you so much for watching.
