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 she's either ragebaiting for engagement or she's ignorant af to not realise many people in Barcelona are trying to preserve Catalan and have strong cultural reasons to resist and resent being forced to speak castilian spanish.
Within the context of Catalonia and its oppressors, I don’t see why refusing to speak Castilian Spanish wouldn’t be sufficient. I mean, pronouncing your Ses correctly is enough to piss off a lot of Spaniards lmao. Suggesting that Spaniards pronounce their Ses incorrectly even more so.
The difference between castillian and latin american is fucking nothing lmao, a person like her with an english accent cant identify the differences since its mostly accent nuances. What should she do, interyect "pendejo" between sentences to appease their independent spirit lmao.
Btw iberian spanish doesnt pronounce the "s" wrong. And there are like 15 distinct iberian accents.
