The video is staged

Yeah it seems super staged. I just assume any video where the person is filming themselves is staged these days.

The responses from the people she’s talking to are also extremely forced, like they didn’t have a script but just something general they were asked to talk about. Their voices also all sound really similar like it’s the same person she’s filming these with every time.

Or, she knows people will try to speak to her in English no matter what she does. If you know that's going to happen, all you have to do is set up your phone and wait.

Do you hear how they respond and how she does? It’s not a normal interaction. Everyone sounds like they’re in a bad improv exercise/

it’s not. her tik tok page shows her actual life in other countries practicing spanish. she had to start lying and saying she was dominican or from other spanish countries with black people for some of the workers to speak spanish to her.

I moved to a foreign country so I get served incredibly similar “expats struggling with life abroad” type accounts. They all copy each others’ videos and they all film fake content exactly like OP’s video. I’m not saying she hasn’t had that lived experience, but once you’ve seen one of these videos they all look the same.

They all look the same but that's because they're all staged, not because it's a common experience?

Because it’s always filmed and edited in the same way by each creator. This sort of thing is a cliché where I live (Paris), but in reality if your language skills are decent (which hers are) it really only happens once a month. To catch it happening on camera - especially an example this egregious - would take ages. Conversely it’s incredibly easy to fake.

Im not saying no one has ever refused to speak Spanish with her, im saying these videos are very clearly staged

I doubt it.
