0:52A: Go ahead. And for that reason, we were never in a formal school, but maybe we were learning. We were always learning about the culture, the countries, the world, the different people. But it’s, yeah, it’s just, you know, it’s a different way of being raised, and I’m glad I was raised that way, instead of going to the schools, School System in the States, because honestly the schooling system here is fucking terrible. So I would rather have been raised not going to school here and dealing with not really having a lot of people around me growing up than going to school here and dealing with the shitty ass system that the United States uses, because I did go to school for 6th grade in Costa Rica, and the system over there is so much better.
1:48A: You have four classes a day, each are an hour long and between each class you get a half-hour break So you actually have time to socialize and hang out with your friends and chill and then when it comes time to be in class You want to because you’ve had your time to chill and you’ve had your time to interact with people So once they actually put you in that class you soak up the information better I didn’t speak Spanish when I was going to school in Costa Rica, so I was guessing on everything But if I did speak Spanish at that time, I’m sure I would have been very very invested in my classes
2:47B: Hell yeah You know, that’s interesting, I feel like I’ve been meeting more people that surprisingly speak Spanish here than any other city I’ve been in, frankly So that’s pretty sick, that’s pretty sick, your Spanish is good
2:57A: Yeah, it’s good to speak Spanish because it’s like the second language here in the States
3:01B: Yeah, yeah, but todavía hay muchas personas que no aprenden español Exactly For example
3:06A: Because they try to teach you Spanish in school here but they do a terrible job She speaks Spanish too
3:15B: Oh yeah, that’s pretty sick How’s your Spanish? She can speak to us in Spanish?
3:19A: She’s better than me I’m almost fluent, she’s fully fluent
3:23B: How are you fluent in Spanish?

3:42B: No, but that’s pretty sick, that’s pretty sick I learned Spanish, I went to like an immersion school So all my classes were in Spanish except for my English class until 5th grade

4:39C: terrible It’s better than mine,
5:02B: so it’s okay Sorry, I’m also a little confused, so my Spanish now is
5:07C: terrible And I only speak Spanish with my father, I don’t speak Spanish with people I don’t know, I don’t know, because there are no many with a castellan accent because I speak castellan, well, I try to speak castellan but, well, I don’t know what to say What does castellan mean?
