    The type of test in which most Americans fail. The Spaniards get everything right, they almost feel offended such questions are asked to them.❤

      @@Terrk-wt9hw Why getting so angry? I am talking about similar videos. If you watch Jay Leno's interviews in the streets, asking people basic questions, their answers are not only wrong, but also stupid. I wonder if they would know who the hell is Emerson or Thoureau. English is not my native language, but I read both. If the Spaniards mention El Quijote, it is because they read it in school, so they know what they are talking about. My first language is Spanish; these people speak it beautifully, you can tell they have a very good educational system over there. Of course, in the USA there are many educated people, but too many idiots too, otherwise how the hell do you explain an imbecile like Trump in the White House?

      @@studywithsylvana I am not. English is not my native language. I was actually talking about the midnight shows where people like Jay Leno interviews people in the streets, asking basic questions like the ones you hear in this video... and everyone fails; Leno makes fun of it. But going back to your question, we are human and humans have the capacity to hate. I do not hate Americans, I have many American friends whom I love. But... don't you hate Tucker Carlson or Donald Trump? I do. And I think there is no choice but to hate in such cases.

    I’m familiar with Antonio Machado’s "Caminante, No Hay Camino”, because Joan Manuel Serrat (Cantares) and Las Bistecs (Caminante) both uses the poem in their songs. There's a lot of great Spanish music!

    As a spaniard I recommend for any foreigners that want to start reading spanish literature to go with El Lazarillo de Tormes.
    It is a book of unknown author from around the XV century because it would have been censored by the catholic church if the writer would dare to come out. Its a book with class perspective that speaks volumes of spanish society. Im surprised it didnt come out in the video since it is a classic, the second most important one i would say after the quixote. But unlike many books mentioned in the video it doesnt require any knowledge of spanish history or culture to understand it, many of the books mentioned are too complicated for foreigners as a starter.
    Its set on medieval spain but the topics that the books touches are absolutely constant in spanish culture and present nowadays. And you can even trace many real world spanish political struggles to the book. I strongly suggest to begin with this one since it would be the easier to understand and get into, only have to rely on a dictionary for a few words that are not present anymore in modern spanish.

      @nicolassevilla8048 Před 10 měsíci +8

      1) Sant Jordi and la Feria del Libro ara two different events with different dates. 2) Catalans give away books in Sant Jordi because the date match up with The Book Day, not because they invented that tradition. In Madrid we don’t celebrate Sant Jordi, but we do give away books (because is The Book Day).
      PD: The Book Day is celebrated in that date because Shakespeare and Cervantes died that day, and Miguel de Cervantes was from Madrid, so if there is someone stealing traditions and culture in here are the catalans to the madrileños
      Cataluña is not the center of the world, stop embarrasing yourself and the rest of catalonians, because otherwise we are going to start thinking that you are all that uneducated
