Retired life in Ajijic, Mexico at our lakefront home on Lake Chapala. RV Travels in our 40" Monaco motor home. Projects in the mountains of Mexico. Or whatever else is on my mind today. We traveled full time in our old Southwind for 3 years before buying a retirement home in the mountains of central Mexico. We now spend several months a year traveling in the USA in our diesel pusher RV. Our channel is about RV travels, our retirement home project in central Mexico, the Expat experience of retiring in Mexico, and answers to comments based upon 20 years of experience living in Mexico. :)

Akaso Seemor-200 Full Color night vision goggles.
I just got mine after watching this video. The off line translation are not very accurate and the on line only translates English to Spanish. If i speak spanish it speaks back in spanish. Trying to find trouble shooting already and ive only had it 2 hours......not impressed........ update tried troubleshooting for several hours. Online translation does not work. English to Spanish works....but Spanish to English does not. This must be defective.....returning product and will not get another one. It was $250.00 Canadian and I will not spend that kind of money on something that is defective on first purchase. It was too good to be true in my case........must be a quality control problem (made in China)
You are such a wonderful husband. You are a beautiful couple. God bless you both.
$149.99
$135 with my discout.
Jerry , how is the battery life? The ear buds work great but they're a POS because of the battery life. You have to plan your usage of them and make sure they're charged when you need them.
I have not used it enough to run down the battery, so I can't really answer your question. I can tell you the manual says it’s a 1500mah battery which physically would not fit in an ear bud, so my expectation would be it’s better. Also, I know that even with a phone if it’s constantly searching for a Wi-Fi signal in a poor signal area it drains the battery. Being able to download a language pair for offline translation and putting it in airplane mode would eliminate Wi-Fi searching.
Pretty neat. Thanks for sharing this item with us.
Thanks for watching!
The Spanish speaker clearly has a Spanish accent from Spain. Can you choose Mexico?
Thank you for pointing that out. I wouldn't have known. Yes, you can choose Mexican Spanish for the online translation. I used the downloaded off line function in the video and I do not see an off line downloadable Mexican Spanish file …. Only with the online Wi-Fi connection.
Amazing easy to use translator, Jerry. Maybe someone will come up with a gadget which you sing into, then you pick the artist you would like to sound like, in any language, maybe Elvis, Pavarotti, Willy Nelson, Robert Plant, Bocelli, etc. 😏
Buena idea! :)
Google Translate does the same thing and it doesn’t cost anything. But this simple, I would definitely buy one.
Very good demonstrations and explanations, Jerry. You certainly are keeping up with the technology!
I try. :)
Are these at 1x where you could wear them on a helmet?
I don't think so. They have the 1/4 inch tripod mount threaded hole, but I don't see how that fits on your face.
SOLD! I just ordered one. My wife said “don’t you want to practice what you’ve learned from your Spanish lessons?”. I said I do, but only for casual conversations. I want this available when I shouldn’t rely on my Spanglish - like at custons. 😊
Buena idea. Good plan. :)
The earbud translator was great but this device is the one I will buy!! Tell Lynn I said 'HI'.
She says hi back. :)
JC! What happened to your Babel??!
She's right here. Thanks for asking. :)
It only messed up once, when you first spoke about your IPhone 13. Worked very well! Very handy. She has a Spanish accent.
The off line file is Spain Spanish. The online translation gives the option for Mexican Spanish.

Well, I guess you won’t be complementing your buddy on his driving skills anymore.
Amazing it only happened once! His driving skills really were good. There was some questionable advice given on navigating that part.
If you are going to live in mexico.......LEARN SPANISH !!!!! +15 Years living here.....and you dont speak spanish .....SHAME ON YOU !!!!!
Jerry, you need to download the Mexican Spanish, the one you have is the Spanish from Spain and some words are not being translated correctly for Mexican people.
Thank you for that info. I'll check it out. :)
Where is the link to buy one??
Hello, please check the link in the bio.😊
In the. Idea description, but if you watch on a TV you can't see it. Official website: bityl.co/QoXi Code: QL10 (10% OFF)
What is the price?
Hello, please check the link in the bio. 😊 The price is 150 USD.
$135 after the 10% discount in the video description.
🙏🙏🙏
congratulations jerry and thanks for trying to learn spanish
Put Google Translate in Conversation Mode and both parties can just talk. Make sure you're in Conversation Mode and not just translation mode.
Could of used one of these in my early dating career LOL
Jerry, this device would be INVALUABLE for someone like myself who struggles with ENGLISH 😂 let alone other languages! BTW: your maid is very sweet!! Have a beautiful and blessed day!!🎉 LUCRETIA
Wow. That is an amazing little gadget. I need to look into one.
Jerry, your the consummate sales person. Cheers, Mate.
JC this looks wonderful. I own the Timekettle WT2 Edge/W3 , but do not like having to use the earbuds. Feels awkward to ask stranger to put something in their ear. I carry around alcohol wipes to clean for other person before asking. This new toy from Timekettle looks much more user friendly for ad-hoc conversations.
I had the same feelings.
This seems to be a huge improvement over the Earbuds I purchased a little over a year ago... I honestly got tired of the time-lapse and incorrect interpretations. I know enough Spanish to get myself in trouble sometimes... but I could understand what it was saying... just didn't care for the delays and lack of Mexican Spanish which can be SO different from one area to another... I was having a conversation with a guy in Guadalajara about this topic and he explained to me that some terms I was using that are "fine" in Puebla, were NOT acceptable to his area and had a double meaning that outweighed the translation. It's always a bit better to gain understanding of the local language! :) THANK YOU for highlighting these products, Jerry! Always appreciate your views...
Yes, idiomatic expression and double meanings can be a problem even for native speakers without technology. Sometimes I can't even understand teenagers in English!
@@JCTravelStories hard to believe we were teenagers once!!! :)
Seems like a lesser Google Translate with a physical push-to-talk button (Google Translate conversation mode has an on-screen button). Might we worth $50 USD, but not $150. Flip-phone users might be an exception.
Great little device to help. I agree with your housekeeper, it translated correctly. 👍👏
Thanks for the video. I just put it on my Amazon wish list. But what happens after 1 year with regard to the global data?
You can buy more data, but the downloaded languages will not require more data.
It has a Spanish accent.
Does it work off-line or do you need Wi-Fi?
You can download pairs of languages to use off line without Wi-Fi.
The lady translating sounds mean.
She's from Spain. 😉
i wonder if it detects the dialects of spanish, like of the maid per say, then continues to translate in that dialect for that episode. And if there are words that it changes on translation for respect of gender or social status of the receiver... tricky in some cultures. Smart device, glad you posted this advertisement.
Great stuff right here
Great stuff I used one on my trip to Mexico and it was so nice and made a huge difference in understanding the culture and showing respect to the wonderful Mexican people. Highly recommend.
Please use it again soon. :)
Thanks for the tip. Looks like a great machine. Just had a quick look at the website. For those thinking of going to places with patchy reception the offline service covers English to: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Russian.
😎
Boy, what a cool device. When I was younger and traveled a lot, they sold a little translator in the plane, but not with voice, just display. That was more than 30 years ago. What a great little invention. Could have used it in China, Russia, Turkey, France, Italy, Egypt and Mexico. All different languages. Now I am too old, I saw a lot of the world when it was cheaper. Sure would have liked it back then.
I believe I also had that translator... It was a great device at the time, and I learned a lot of new vocabulary each time I used it!
Very good review and comparison with google translate. I would definitely make this purchase if traveling in a foreign country. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
What a nifty invention! PS. Your Maid probably deserves a tip 😂
She's paid well. :)
Good point about the slipperyness of some tile! Definitely a danger, especially for senior citizens!
I'm still waiting for u to get in the pool..😂
Oh no we r noT. I mite jarr off something I need. U go for it u crazy...... .Who.u think u r J.C Tom Cruz maybe?
LOL!
So Jerry, I gotta ask why you don’t put some screening in the cupola? Besides the bugs being attracted to the light aren’t the bats attracted to the bugs? You know.. the trickle down effect. Twice when staying in Mexico we had bats because of no screens. Another time an owner of the place we rented asked us no to keep the outside lights on because the bats splashed their poop on the side of the house. Sure enough, he was right. So happy for the marvelous rain you’re getting. Our rivers are at flood stage.
Two reasons for no screen. 1. ). A screen restricts the air flow for the cooling effect. 2). The opening allows me to change the light bulb from the roof instead of climbing getting a 20 ft ladder from the stairway below. The bats here leave poop on the house regularly. We've only had one in the house in 20 years and it came through an open door. They're fruit bats not vampires. They eat mosquitoes. They are welcome here.
Cute granddaughterd. Nice video.
Thank you!
You are amazing Jerry. So much love and loyalty in your soul. I watched my father do the same thing. You have my admiration.
Thank you. :)
I like the cantera. Where did you buy it?
The only contera here are the pedestals at the corner of the pool. They came with the house in 2004.
@@JCTravelStories The tile. Looks like Cantera, or maybe Adoquin. Anyhow, we're putting in a patio and didn't see it at the two places in Jocotepec where we looked. Where did you get the tile? Muchas gracias.
There's a tile store in Chapala across the road from Soriana. A couple of doors north of the street the Chapala tiangus starts on. Great selection of tiles. That's where I bought mine.
Perfecto! Muchas gracias.
