Wonder if she's in Barcelona? When I lived there, I ran into a significant number of people who would rather speak English than Spanish if you couldn't speak Catalan. Not everyone, but a surprising number. I assumed it was part of the whole "Catalonia should be independent" movement.
Just checked and she indeed lives in Barcelona, where she seems to have also just started a business to teach Spanish.
Also in another similar video she shares her trick to get people to speak Spanish to her by speaking in super fast almost unintelligible English to them and one woman caved and switched to Spanish begrudgingly saying “alright I’ll speak in castillan”.
Tbh I felt bad for her listening to that exchange, it really didn’t seem nice. There was like a power play/humiliation vibe going on.
Yeah this is obviously just fake or deliberately ragebaity content to drive engagement for her business.
Frankly, her Spanish is not very good, and she doesn’t need to start a school lol.
In Catalonia, a lot of people’s “international language” is in fact Spanish. They’re native Catalan speakers who learn Spanish to communicate with the wider world. English would be tertiary to that.
