grandma even dresses up for the dinner, what a sweet lady and a wholesome family!
The Matriarch!
She’s the mafia boss no one knows but don’t wanna see her bad side
So awesome. I wish we would all dress up more. Now people wear sweats.
IT IS VERY NORMAL IN LATIN AMERICA
As a Mexican I am very happy with this video. I know the lady said “this is your home now” all I can say is that she 100% meant that. This is why in a lot of Mexican homes we still live with grandparents and parents. I know a lot of cultures make fun of us because there’s three families in one home but truth is that it is just part of our culture. We live, we love, we laugh, we cry, and we take care of each other. Shout out to that beautiful family in Oaxaca for inviting these beautiful “gringos” into their gorgeous home.
That’s beautiful Kevin. Like I wish we as humans would adapt more of that love of family and friends. Life would just be so different and wholesome. ❤. Thanks for sharing your perspective
my grandma was mean 🤣
I’ve become very close with Mexican families, simply by meeting them while visiting. Your people and culture are beautiful. Thank you for making your corner of the world so inviting and caring.
I LOVE Mexico. Not as a tourist - though it is certainly nice to visit - but as an appreciation of the beautiful culture, music, fashion, food, and family. It is so much more inclusive, loving and vibrant than other places, and I can see that it all stems from the strong family as the core of the culture.
@@78cunobelin if your an American or westerner period, is cause they think you have money🙄
Ain't no hospitality like Mexican hospitality. Such a beautiful and rich culture.
Agreed, Mexicans are my favorite people. It's so unfortunate that the majority of the country F's its own people because of the Cartels and the corruption and gangs that come with it.
@@willvr4that is completely false! Stop watching “news” channels that just monetizes playing sensationalism. The truth is that in a country with over 125 million people, chances of being a victim of the cartels are low. Most people live happily without fear, like the family in the video. I know it cause I am Mexican and come from a large family…it’s scarier to live in a country that many lunatics and psychopaths decide to go randomly go and shoot people in schools, churches, concerts, theaters and what not. There’s crime in every country, and northamericans LOVE making up crazy stories. Why would a country that is so “dangerous” receives an average of 40 million tourists per year?? And more than 1.5 million of US citizens and Canadians live there full time. Please stop spreading stupid nonsense propaganda. Como Mexico no hay 2!!
Agreed, I have a big portion of my family divided up amongst many cultures. Hispanic being the second most predominant. I am honestly surprised they didnt have dinner cooked and ready for the Canadians. You will never go hungry as a guest in a Hispanic home.
Oh yeah definitely especially when they overcharge the gringos, really hospitable there
@@jres1995 That's literally ANY tourist destination in a 3rd world area. Why wouldn't you want to try to charge more out of basic survival? Do you know how strange it is that you're at a resort in a 3rd world country, in their most beautiful area, and your experience is NOTHING like what it's like for the average Mexican who actually lives there.
This is very encouraging…people should be able to get along like this EVERYWHERE! No politicians allowed!
yess!! the citizens or (civilians) as they call us sharing and caring for each other, no politicians or government workers allowed! :)
At first I thought "This is so embarrassing, they don't even know Spanish and they are trying to enter strangers houses in Mexico" but at the end I had such a warm, fuzzy feeling and a huge smile on my face.
felt the exact same way!
Facts
@Adam Weber come to cook with me :) i live in Northern CA
100%
If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE only way to Heaven and He loves you?
Through Him, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. (Matthew 12:30) ''Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not
gather with me scatters.'' He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteouss, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23).
For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
for He lived a sinless life.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10).
Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life, Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
We aren’t saved based on our good deeds/works, but only by the grace of God through faith.
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
He said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him.
''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
Repentance is a turning from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
If you have repent and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
You are born again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will have new desires -
to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
Please get right with God and start your relationship with Jesus Christ today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
That grandma is pure love. The entire family was so loving and welcoming. Glad to see you back doing your thing. Keep connecting. Love from South Africa. 🇿🇦
Such an incredible family!
Sending love to South Africa ❤️
I found the same love and connection in South Africa. Will never forget your beautiful country. Love from India ♥
@@DiscoverConnection y'all will love South Africa 🇿🇦 especially the local Cape Malay community in Cape Town. With a rich history paired with the most delicious food you'll ever have.

Proper matriarch vibes. My grandma was also like this. The reason the family gathers. The translator called it a "principal home" and that's exactly what it is. It's the gathering place for the entire family bonded by one strong grandma.
As the child of Latino immigrants parents, it made me tear-y eyed to see you guys trying so hard to communicate and connect in their language. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing these energies with the world. 💛✨

This made you cry??? Toughen up
@@normanreyes1375stfup 🙄 si no te gusta no veas.
LOVE THIS FAMILY! The grandma is the matriarch! This family is loved and so lucky to have each other. Many blessings
yeah from what I notice our families are usually matriarchal lol. actually now that I think about it I don’t know a single mexican bloodline where a man runs everything. abuela is the law! especially since we usually live in multigenerational homes so it’s her house
i honestly don't blame them for saying no. Sometimes you don't know who to trust, but I'm glad you all knew that you are good people.
Lol yeah who knocks on a strangers door and asks if they can cook in their homes 😂😂😂😂
I believe at first the way the people were understanding it as these two people cooking dinner in their kitchen for themselves.
honestly i think the grandma knew that they had numbers in their favor lol
I mean, someone shows up at my door saying they want to cook dinner for me tonight, not only would I say no, I'd be paranoid about anyone coming close for a while
Yeah specially because is not the most secure country 🤣 yo no dejaría pasar a nadie que no conozca, apenas y dejo que se pasen amigos a la sala
This is so cute. I'm Mexican and you have to let us know in advance. Our home has to be immaculate and guest ready, other wise we will be embarrassed 😳
This is so accurate
Yes !
I mean I’m American and my mom has always done the same thing since I can remember
my girlfriends parents are like that with me, when im coming over in such notice they have me wait outside till its ready lol
Omg right? My sister used to say "clean like if the president is coming to the house" 🤣 she had us cleaning every inch lol
This one had me in tears. Especially when they offered Brooke one of their beautiful aprons. What an awesome experience for everyone involved.
Coming from a Mexican household . This is exactly how we invite and treat people in our house ❤️
I’m an English speaker and I’ve been to Mexico. The people there are so patient and understanding with us, so long as you’re respectful at least. It’s crazy that they give us the amount of respect they do when if they speak their native tongue or have an accent in America, people will literally be racist right to their faces. I have immense respect for the people of Mexico. I respect them more than my own people, honestly.
That doesn't fly too well in Houston, but I get the occasional jackass that feels the need to tell me we're being overrun.
I'm like yeah? Half of like everyone I've ever known is of Latin descent. Idgaf. They work hard and have better food. What is there to hate?
czcams.com/video/1qk_a_FvcWA/video.html
Honestly America has so many racist people here from every color. I don't know what America has but I sometimes blame politicians for this problem.
@@The3sto0ges it's our politicians and finger pointing news orgs spamming divisiveness for viewers non-stop
@@Mattfreeman89 agree!!
That mexican home was amazing...people dont realize how rich these people are in a non materialistic way.
Us People in "first world nations" forgot how to draw the line in the sand between what we need and what we desire.
true i’d kill for the love in these homes. Seems very cozy and loving.
Absolutely 💚
Shit their house is better than my shady apartment I might as well move
This part !
One of the reasons im still connected to my Mexican culture is that we were raised extremely friendly. We were taught to always reach out and make friends regardless of any initial barriers. Just live in the moment
Im so blessed to have neighbors who immigrated from Mexico they are very generous and friendly they always bring me food i freaking love them 😢❤
Being mexican and seeing this video from the pov of a foreigner makes me realize how kind our people are and how beautiful our country is. I want you to know you will always be welcome in our beloved Mexico, a hug to everyone!
We can be very welcoming but not everyone is nice or good.
(I am Mexican)
@@hotelzeta24 definitely, it can be said for everyone.

Facts
Genuine people unlike a lot of pretentious rich people.
As a Mexican I knew that the right family was going to welcome you to their house, to their family. Language has never been a barrier for a Mexican to help or in this case welcome you to their house and to their family. I love my country and I love my people.
Reminds me of the time I lived across the street from a 15 person Mexican family and bucked up and decided to take my elementary Spanish and a guitar to one of their parties. Really heartwarming to see connections that bridge not only cultural but also language barriers.
I love how the Hispanic cultures respect their elders. That Abuelita was certainly the matriarch of that familia and you can see she was deferred to even of the men. How wonderful the hospitality of the entire familia to engage the strangers...even down to the dog.
Yes, our grandmas are the backbones of our family.
Shes probably the owner of the house too, so that helps.
Italians are this way as well
@@cbot375 Wouldn't be surprised to learn that the family built the house themselves or had a hand in designing it, makes it much more special.
@@joeh858 Yes they are❤️
“This is your home whenever you like.” Made me tear up a bit.
I know! I’m crying in Starbucks right now.
Stop meee too I’m crying rn I came to the comments to see who else cried when she said that cause I know she meant that from the bottom of her heart
Oh please
@@jimjiminy5836 yes
I'm mexican, we have this expression whenever "my house/home" jumps in a conversation, we use "your home/house" instead, as in "you are always welcome and you can arrive in hard times".
This video is a perfect example of Mexican culture. I live amongst them and have had this experience again and again and again...and THIS IS LITERALLY ***HOW*** THEY ARE. This family is NOT an exception.
Grandma the matriarch. Queen and leader of the household. This is beautiful. This is exactly how Mexican grandmas run the show in their household. Everyone is loved and welcomed. Reminds me of my grandma so much. RIP Ama love you.
When grandma said "you are my family" made me shed a tear. With everything that is happening right now, Her saying that gives me this sense of comfort that whatever happens we'll always help each other out and it'll turn be okay
I wish that family the best and I hope for their well being and prosperity
❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
I was really feeling the whole video but when grandma said "this is your home whenever you like" I legit welled up. I'm Mexican and this statement has so much soul in the way we are as people.
This comment.❤️❤️
After moving to the US and meeting Mexican people I just can’t get over how truly beautiful they are as people. They are some of the most loving and kind people I have ever come across and don’t get me starting with the yummy food! Truly gem of a people.
I’ve been to Mexico many times.
I love the people-they are so warm, loving, and welcoming.
Traveled the world, and Mexico is one of my favorite places in it.
Mexico: this gringo loves your country and people…and FOOD. My GOD, your food…

I'm Filipino and I just realized how similar Mexicans are with us. The attitude, the importance of family, some of the words are the same too. I love it ❤️
For what I've heard, Filipines was also colonized by Spain, so some of our culture is similar :D

@@brandoncorona2837 thanks! You too 😸
As a Mexican, I thank you for showing the world a very real moment in my country, the moment when a stranger becomes family. In Mexico, we're not just insecurity and terrible events, we're people with a lot of love to give ❤️ Sending you the best!
I have had some similar experiences. A while back my kid needed friends and our neighbor needed someone to watch the kids while she worked. This video brings back a lot of good memories with the sense of humor with trying to figure out the language and learning to cook.
Also my accent in Spanish is a little similar to my friend's accent. Which is like how the grandma speaks in this video.
Mexican people are awesome..
I live in Mexico City. I married into a Mexican family and moved here six years ago. My mother in law es una Oaxaqueña. What a lovely family. Not only did they let you in their home, but they quite literally welcomed you with open arms and raise a glass to you.
¡Viva México!
Sound cool.
This is dope man. 🇲🇽✊🏽 im so proud of my people for opening their doors for you guys. You guys are cool for loving a foreign culture✊🏽
I met this Mexican guy in the streets of Moscow. He invited me to visit him in Tijuana. I took up on the offer. They totally adopted me and I ended up living with his family for 8 months. I was 35. Sadly I had to leave Mexico cause of Covid
You should totally come back!!!! Tijuana has really good people and food from all over Mexico!
Wow! What an experience!

One thing that impress me of Mexican houses is that their houses seem little from the outside but they are huge in the inside. Love it
Como los cuartos de encanto xd
An encanto!
Man fr I’m Mexican born in the US but seeing their house is insane I felt something idk what it was makes me wanna go visit Mexico
Harry Potter kinda sheeeet
Well, not the infonavit houses...
The house and family look exactly out of the movie ENCANTO !! Just wow absolutely amazing video and amazing video. These are the videos that show us humanity still exists.
Beautiful video, and I agree it's heart warming to see the day-to-day connections and acts of humanity that this channel shows us through their videos. Even though the movie Encanto is set in Columbia, I see some similarities with Mexican culture. As a Mexican (American) myself, I can tell you that most Mexican homes are not decorated with piñatas and with papel piquado--that would be a stereotypical representation of Mexican households. But perhaps this one family is in the business of making piñatas?
Encanto esta en colombia 😂😂 y no nos parecemos en nada con los colombianos, son bien racistas con los mexicanos y son mas tercermundistas que nosotros, no todas las casa son asi, deseguro son de provincia la familia del video y por eso su casa es grande informensen bien sobre mexico y sur america y no usen las pelis gringas "basadas" e inspiradas en mexico y sur america como referente sobre la realidad de nuestra cultura son cosas distintas.

Its also the same thing here in the West Indies countries like jamaica, venezuela, Barbados and also my country Trinidad and Tobago.

Well, Encanto is Colombian so I would compare it more to Coco especially with the decorations
@@RBaroza Thank you for letting me know 🙂! I was just comparing the generations of family living with each other in one home.

I love the way the houses are decorated. I lived in Mexico for 5 years and I really miss it. Specially the food.
Mexico has Theeeeee Best food in the world .... sooo many dishes!!!
What’s your favorite?
@@melioavilez one dish I have never had since we moved back to the US. Green mole with pork. Also churros. Nobody in the US seems to be able to make them like they do in Mexico. Wonderful for breakfast. But more than anything else... Fresh made corn tortillas. I used to snack on them. They were so soft and flexible you could put a line of salt down the middle and roll them up almost as thin as a pencil. My mouth is watering! And I miss the guys that would have a load of vegetables and fruit they peeled and cut fancy and put limon and that red sauce that I can't remember the name of. Cucumber cut to look like a flower, jicama root, pineapple. I even liked the little sour apples with limon and red sauce on them.
Tired of the sad, not very fresh jicama root that is available in my grocery store I bought one and planted it.( If it grew and bloomed I wanted seeds to plant more and get it fresh out of the ground) Well, it's growing like mad and it is a lovely vine. Someone told me it has lavender or purple flowers. It is already ten feet high!
@@melioavilez I forgot the tamale man that came around in the evenings. They were fluffy and so flavorful, nothing at all the same as those canned tamales that are in the grocery store.
@@melioavilez Fax, Mexico's food is god tier, there's a few to none that can compete against it. Other than that would be very specific and personal likings.
@@susanfarley1332 The red sauce is Chamoy, what about a cup of Atole and a concha or esquites! I miss Mexico is been 14 years!
That’s a true Mexican household… everyone is always welcomed and you always offer and welcome them with food and drinks …. This is truly heartwarming

As an Irish lad living in the US for 25 years I’ve always had a wonderful time with my Mexican Brothers and Sisters. And then I went to Mexico and it all made sense. All the Best in Life.
Bro I’m not racist I love Mexicans but not all Mexicans treat people good in Mexico a lot of people get hurt the normal Mexico citizens are always good not the cartel tho
The problem is the media and politics. When you watch You Tubers having real experiences, you see the truth.
This is such a beautiful idea. In a world where it can be hard to trust a stranger to come into to your house, it is nice to see strangers from different languages and cultures connecting and sharing an authentic moment. Brilliant idea.
I love how personal everyone is abroad with their home and culture showing through and great idea for a channel what the world needs nowadays
Just know when grandma said “ this is your home whenever you like “ she meant that from the bottom of her heart 🥺I cried
1000% facts.
they are full of SH!!!t.
In México we always say the phrase "My house is your house" (Mi casa es tu casa) to any person we consider our friend.
@@MAEAAEAM yeah, well 40 million or more of you thought "tu casa es mi casa" because you came to the US uninvited. back over the wall vato
@@joshjones718 I live in México, and 60 million or more of you thought "Make America great again" and most of them are still disgusting ;)
When he said “whenever you visit a Spanish home there’s a mandatory shot you have to drink” I was like damn right there is LMAO
Then again, seems like that guy was looking for excuses to drink. And he drank a lot.
Y al menos una cervesa😅
Mexican houses are just so warm and will always make you feel like home even if you're from a different place 😊❤este video fue muy lindo de verdad proves that not all people from Mexico are scary or dangerous just an ugly world that makes us divide and act defensive que hermoso video y familia 🎉❤
This is a very nice video. I’m so proud of my culture!!! 🇲🇽 This family took a chance by allowing this to happen and in the end they were quite pleased with making this connection with two total strangers. Very heart warming experience all around!!! 💖 Thank you for sharing and keep enjoying my native land!!!
I love this. Mexican people look like us, Brazilians, with the way that they welcomed you in their house. In my state in Brazil, if you like the person that is visiting you, you take them straight to the kitchen where you offer them coffee, cake, pão de queijo, lunch, dinner, all of it. If it is a visitor that you're not too close, then you take them to the living room. I felt like Mexico is kinda the same. Sometimes I feel disconnected of the Latino culture by being Brazilian because we're not Spanish speakers but seeing videos like this, I realize that the culture is more than the language. We're Latinos too. I love México.
The only difference between Brazilians and the rest of Latin America is the language. Everything else is the same. Don’t let the language put a barrier.
Latinos are more alike than they are different
@@theory6366 everything is not the same…
Oi @Izabella Luíza eu sou Mexicana morando nos Estados Unidos mais tenho uma conexão muito especial com Brasil. I feel -from my experience- it takes a little while for Hispanics to understand Portuguese and for you guys it’s easier but we really connect from the joy we both cultures have to be with friends, music, food, passion for soccer and of course tequila or cachaça. Um abraço😊
most 3rd world countries are like that
the abuela is the boss lol if she said yes it’s a yes if she would’ve said no it would’ve been a no 😭😭 but abuelas are so kind and sweet. good video!! 🤍
I wish I'd had an Abuela. I just have a crazy Japanese grandmother.
Abuelas are the best they are the heart of a family. My abuela passed away 4 years ago and the family is so different without her 🥺
@@saravalenzuela7444 aw, im sorry for your loss :(
You right the abuela es la mera jefa.!!
@@someguy1365 what makes her crazy?
Bro you bring tears of happiness to so many of your viewers.
Change the world, you can do it!
This was so beautifully amazing, this is why I have such a passion for food and cooking. Because food connects us all, regardless of race or religion or culture or whatever. This was humbling to watch, thank you so very much for sharing this experience with us ❤️
This video made me cry, because as a Mexican I never really got to experience my people. Now that I'm an adult how I crave that connection 😔hope one day ❤️
Im half Mexican in America and i really do feel left out on a lot of the beautiful culture and familial bonds you find in Mexico. When my dads family came to America they mostly assimilated to the culture here :(
@@xSilentRecon unfortunately assimilated with the culture of going in the car and getting Mc donald's and Whataburger for the Texan Mexicans.
I hope you find that connection, our heritage is beautiful. You're always invited at our table in Seattle.
Family constant connection is undervalued in modern society. Our son is Mexican-American, I make sure he understands how necessary is to value and pursue our Mexican family values, for our own well being. The video made me cry too.
Girl, talk to your family in Mexico. My mom's whole family has been here since before the 20's so they're American to the max. My dad's family is from Mexico though. He was born in Mexico, raised here since 3 years old. I started speaking to my dad's family in Mexico a few years ago and we love hearing and learning from each other now. I also started trying to go back to my roots by celebrating dia de los muertos as a way to respect the deceased in my family. We have such a beautiful, beautiful, rich family oriented culture. Make the connection happen. Now I know that when I visit Mexico again, I have more than one place I can call home while I'm there, with people that share my blood ❤🇲🇽
The grandma saying that they're your family now absolutely wrecked me. I am crying so hard. Me recuerda a mi abuelita de cuando era niño y tantísimo la echo de menos pero tanto, tanto.
Same, still balling as I type this
I know right :')
Hahaha same!, 😭😭
I miss my grandparents so much
@@harounben342 they miss and love you to bro 🔥
Watching from Texas...this was so sweet and heartwarming. Even with the language barrier, the human connection was formed. Everyone looked happy and enjoying the night together.
Guys, I really appreciate you to seek for connections with the locals. The standard tourist will typically get comfort only with the mexican environment; putting people and traditions apart. This video made my day.
That grandma is such a beautiful soul. What a wonderful group of people.
That's why being Mexican is a blessing from God. Truly blessed.
I have always found the people in México to be super friendly for the most part. Also happier and more relaxed than in the States. I love it there.
Dang so only Mexicans are blessed by God?
Damn. Imagine a racist God hahahaha
Bruh acting like Mexicans are a chosen people
People gonna hate, being Mexican is a blessing from God but no matter where you are from you are also blessed
As a Mexican i can tell you that you guys knock at the right family and you can see that mexicans are very humble and lovable people, I enjoy this video and thank you to love my country and do this type of videos and your spanish, is good no matter if you can't read it, was a strong connection. God bless you!!
This was such a good video I love how even with a language barrier we can alway connect when we open up to one another. Really great how you showed how a Mexian family can be so friendly once you start a conversation ( and taking shots, lol).
Soy Mexicano,si te abren las puertas de tu casa,tambien estan abriendo su corazon..jamas traciones esa confianza!!
❤️...
Luisito Comunica se cago en esa confianza :v
Pero te lo pueden robar v:
English: I am Mexican, if they open the doors of your house, they are also opening their hearts... never betray that trust!!
@@GodlyBc07 their house*
Some of my favourite conversations have been with people where we’re struggling to speak the same language. It makes the conversation purely about connecting, rather than rattling off some idea or story.
❤️
Damn. Never thought about it that way… most of our talking is storytelling or gossiping and we don’t truly connect with one another like in this video
Beautiful thought. It's very true!
Holy shit that is so trueeee
It's so so true! There is something about struggling to converse past a language barrier that requires a more intense level of concentration and commitment that we normally take for granted and don't apply in casual conversation. Also, when stripped down to the basics and the fluff is cutout, the communication can actually in a way be more clearer. When I started becoming fluent in my second language to where I began thinking in it, I actually found it refreshing that my thoughts were clearer and less cluttered. Everyone should try it, it's liberating, and opens up other worlds! :)
I moved to Texas from the UK for over a year, the only people that show love and hospitality were the amazing mexican people, they opened their door on Thanksgiving.
We remained friends for many years after ,even when I came back to the UK.
I love this. I have been to Mexico and it was amazing. They were very kind and welcoming even if there was a language barrier. Even throughout Europe when I went this Summer. I have friends from quite a few different cultures and it has always been so cool to learn and make a connection with people from other places. Even though my roots are very much international, I have lived in the U.S. my entire life. So I have always loved trying different things as my friends have introduced me to them. This summer I met a family from Norway on a cruise. We had only known them a little from a few interactions and they were already so inviting. They invited us to stay with them and to call them to know the best places to go if I ever came to Norway. But yes I have always been impressed with how easy it can be to make a memorable time with others from somewhere different and how we can all come together.
Una vez que los mexicanos agarramos confianza, te vuelves parte de la familia!! Amazing video, so proud of my culture!
I am from Alabama in the United States and I'm absolutely obsessed with your culture! You guys are always sooo kind and welcoming (at least in my experience and I have a lot of Mexican friends) and y'all are so fun!!

Biggest lesson I learned: The way in which a house is decorated outside tells a lot from the people living inside. Any house that is decorated different from the rest and does not follow the social norm will most likely have people living inside who are more open to stepping outside of their comfort zone.
The only reason they are decorated that way there is because of the event/holiday going on though. And its in a really touristic part of town. 99% of Mexican homes look far from that.
@@GlitchMan1011 you don’t know dcik wey
esa es mi gente mexicana ❤
This is beautiful, i hope you enjoyed it deeply, not only this video but those vibes the people generated seemed extremely wholesome. ❤
When she said that you are family now, it made me tear up. What a beautiful moment. 😭
My family is of Mexican descent, and this was always my experience growing up. Different people coming over and eating with us all the time. I'm grateful for that, and I wish more kids in the "COVID generation" could experience that.
I’ve never thought about how personal a kitchen is until seeing this. I imagined being a person who had their door knocked on and all the thoughts that would run through my mind if I were asked that question. “Do I have the utensils they need? Is my kitchen clean enough? Did I shower today? Does my place look cheap or unpleasant and will they/the people watching the video think less of me if they see it?” Then, watching them cook at my stove like, “Do they think my stove is ok? Do they wish it was fancier? Are they thinking badly of me and wishing they’d picked another house/person?”
I have anxiety and maybe a very slight hint of undiagnosed Autism so the idea of this is terrifying to me but this video made me realize how intimate and individual your kitchen feels.
Aye! Autism squad! 😎 Amygdala be quite funny sometimes.
You are a psicotic
If this is me I would ask the youtuber to blur my face because I'm ugly as heck on camera
Yup
When the grandmother said “this is your home now” 😢❤
México es un gran país. Primero que nada por su gente. Viva México 🇲🇽!! Mi país !!
The evil that is in the world make it extremely difficult for people to trust others that they have good intentions and we miss opportunities to experience these types of interactions with others that can be so pure and wholesome
Yep them cartels ruined it all , my Mexican family’s in Mexico are all carefull now because what them cartels do
@@beerman9807 yea my grandfather got deported and he says he minds his own business so he doesn't get involved with them. I have never visited my family out there but I have gone to visit my fiancé grandparents in the valley. It's decent but we stay at their house the whole time. There's no need to go anywhere else
This looks so fun. I got adopted by a Mexican family in Mexico City when I was 20. Their son my age found me so sad & confused in the street after I tried to eat in a restaurant alone and some man harassed me. So this nice guy bought me pizza and the next day we went to his family house, big family like this! It was so fun and funny. I really liked his mom, grandfather and sisters. Mexicans are so kind. I think if you spoke decent Spanish some of the other households would’ve opened to you but they were probably so confused! 😄
What you’re basically saying is that 2 men talked to you and you only thought one of them was attractive
@@jonydiaz3856 right 🤣
@@jonydiaz3856 LMAO FR
Adopted at 20?? Wtf
@@pia_mater right lol after 18 you can’t be adopted I thought
Always love to hear our Aussie accent
Most Mexican people are kind, warm, welcoming, and helpful like this family, no matter how little or much that they have.
It’s hard to trust a stranger.. you never know what their actual intentions are. But like myself even within my own country and state, you can meet a lot of genuinely friendly and kind humans just by starting some form of a conversation. This channel deserves millions and millions of subscribers, you’re really showing the world that there is so much good out there :)
Where are you from?
@@Rattlsnke New York but like 20 miles from Canadian border lol, why?
@@tylerwhitehurst8027 he's right it definitely depends on the area.
unfortunately we live in a world where people DO do this with malicious intentions, and some people may be more or less likely to say yes because of the way they lived their life and where you live has a lot to do with how you live.
@@tylerwhitehurst8027 Most all of my family is from Canada. They barely made it down here in time for me to be born here.
@@tylerwhitehurst8027 lol new york is terrible
Actually the first sentences Brad did were perfectly understandable. When Brooke took over, in Spanish it sounded like you were inviting yourself to dinner. As opposed to I'm making your dinner as a sign of courtesy. Great video!
I know right! Lol 😆
What they just found out is that Mexican people are some of the friendliest and kindest people in the world.
They were so welcoming and such a beautiful family. Brought tears to my eyes. I wish more people were this kind and loving.
As someone who's depressed. I would say that this video lightened my heart and gave me the strength to connect to people. I also teared up when grandma said "We're family.". Coz I myself have a terrible time at trusting and connecting with people. I currently work and live alone, have a lot of acquaintances but no real friends. I miss my home, I miss my real friends and I miss my grandma who took care of me since I was a child (I lost my grandma dec 24, 2020) .
air bnb lets you experience these events :) you get the experience from spending time with other families

@@carolcambray1112 I'd love to do that someday. 😊

I send you love from southamerica. This world its so full of people, yet its so easy to feel lonely. You dont know me and i dont know you but there is a conextion as humans. Hope you find your happy place. And sorry for my english
People is so afraid of rejection that they would never do what these guys did. Guess what? Fear is part of us as humans but we can empower more the love connection and magic things happen. They were rejected by many people before this family welcomed them home, but they kept on trying and thats the key for getting things done. THANK YOU so much for this video :) I am mexican and also traveled to Oaxaca were the magic is really present if you come with an open mind and heart. Bless you guys !
lol your so right! but i’d say more gals are afraid of rejection than anything frfr but i see what you saying
@@jayclearmen411 yeah its a common fear, because we function in community, and if we are not part of the "community", life becomes hard hehe. But there's nothing more revolutionary than knowing yourself and being free of who you are.
Its so cute to see how they even brought a cousin so they could understand them, also how even the lady dressed up for the dinner.
This guy literally looks like the 2nd Emperor of Mexico, Maximiliano. What a trip.
