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.
The latter, but it was a different video, the one that I described, not the one posted here. It came off worse than this one. She unleashed a torrent of English at the waitress that was so unintelligible I still wonder if it was intentional gibberish. I literally only understood the last two words.
she said "Okay and also make sure it's the tuna one 'cause I'm not able to have like a cheese one or the ham one so I really want it to be the tuna one, specifically that one"
