Foreigner attempts to speak ONLY SPANISH for a day in MEXICO CITY
I traveled to Mexico City to try some exotic Mexican food while attempting to speak ALL SPANISH for the day with locals.

After 4 years on KZread, I gotta say this is one of the MOST-REQUESTED VIDEOS of all time and today I'm finally doing it!! In this Mexico vlog, I attempt to speak nothing but Spanish for a day with Diego and Efraín of MexTalki.
First, we head to Mercado de San Juan in search of typical Mexico City food, but instead, we find some rare and exotic offerings, including cockroaches, scorpions, stinkbugs, giant ants, iguana, armadillo, crocodiles, and more. shudder
After eating some exotic Mexican food, we hit the streets in search of more to eat in Ciudad de Mexico. A couple blocks away, we found a street food stand with typical CDMX food: quesadillas, gorditas, and tlacoyos...with normal ingredients this time!
Mexico City sure is full of surprises! This was easily one of my favorite videos I've ever made and I had such a blast with my new friends from MexTalki! What do you think, should I do another collab with them in Ciudad de Mexico?

This might just be one of my FAVORITE videos I've ever made. Please share it with a friend or on your social media to help my channel grow 😊🌼 My goal for the first 10 videos on MaddieGold is to post a different style/genre for each one. What do you think of my first ever ALL-SPANISH vlog?

Maddie! This was hands down the most wonderful experience we’ve had! Although the food was definitely not my favorite part 😝 too exotic for my taste. It was a pleasure to meet you and we hope you keep learning with us and that we can have another collaboration when you come back! 💪🏼

Hey, hey Diego and Efraín! I'm so delighted we could link up in Mexico City! Apart from those cringey ants, this was one of my favorite experiences EVER and certainly at the top of the list of my favorite videos I've ever made!! Looking forward to the next collab 😁 and of course, continuing to learn Spanish with MexTalki!

Damn Maddie your Spanish is surprising good. I'm Mexican American and I'd say it was definitely good. The details are difficult, but those little trip ups were 100% understandable. Great job.
Maddie, your video is so much enlightening! It shows how much relationship gets at its best when a foreigner blends in thanks to mastering the local language. The exchanges are so light, funny and genuine. Well done ! And by the way , I admire your creativity : you dare try new challenges ! Brava!
Yaaaaaaas! Get it, Maddie! Love the Spanish, interacting directly with Mexican creators, the vibe of the market and the city, just everything. The videos with Trisha were great, too. Your content is *chef’s kiss*!

You're rocking Maddie! Your Spanish has improved a lot! Y bueno, se me hizo "agua la boca" verte comer ese tlacoyo, estando en Portugal, algo nada fácil de encontrar! Won't miss your videos, I love them with the "gonging" bell 🥰😍

Wish you luck on your new channel here. Had come across Tangerine Travels probably a week before you and Jordan released the "Why we're breaking up" video. Just stay consistent and keep following your passion of travel and making these videos. Looking forward to supporting you on your (new) journey.
Your best post yet! I find the interaction with locals in travel videos most interesting to watch. The guys did a great job guiding you along. Great publicity for their program, too! Perhaps you can make this a weekly/monthly thing: different Mexican experiences all in Spanish, with accompanying native speaker(s). Keep up the good work 👏
This is how you make us all fall in love with everything Mexico (especially the food!). Gracias and looking forward to joining you on more of your explorations throughout that beautiful country! (Wish I could've said all that in Spanish - one day!)

Me ha encantado este vídeo, to see you back doing travel vlogs. La mejor manera de aprender español, practice, practice, practice. My honest opinion, Diego and Efrain are what I would like to see more of. Trish only once in awhile. Felicidades!
YAY A MADDIE GOLD VIDEO!!! I'M SO EXCITED. You were the main reason I followed TT. Thank you for the great content.
Eso estuvo muy bien ! I have watched nearly every Tangerine Travels video since the beginning and was sad to think that now the content of each of your sites would only be 50% as interesting. Mind blown. This was one of my favorites ever and I agree this is a format that can totally work and bring new viewers to your channel. Working with locals such as Diego and Efrain added a valuable insight into real, current Mexico. Thank you for continuing to enlighten us all. Subscribed and joined

That was fun! Great job, Maddie! Looking forward to your videos and travels. I have a feeling you're going to be a big hit with the guys there. Much love and respect! Stay safe!
I just watched this on Monday and this is really fun starting in the market my fav place in Mexico cities, Great Show Maddie!
¡Bravo por ti, Maddie! Como profesora de español, me alegro de que hayas hecho el video casi todo en español. Ojalá que lo vuelvas a hacer en el futuro!
Great video! More videos like this, but with different people, would be cool to watch. Love your energy. Best of luck in your new chapter. You got this.
Love this! Your Spanish rocks! And it's great you're not worried about asking and making mistakes. Very cool.
Thank you Maddie. This is a great video. Great fun, informative and excellent Spanish lessons. Buena suerte.
Your Spanish is incredible! Loved this vlog! 🇲🇽
Dear Maddie! I love your autonomy and free spirited nature🌻🦜🌼. I mentioned in a comment before I also love electronic music (festivals included) but I’m also a first generation American (parents from Michoacán) I don’t get to travel to Mexico too often do to responsibilities but I love how you allow the glimpse into authentic Mexican culture a possibility.

Thanks for this! I was able to understand almost all or what you were saying in Espanol! Greatly increased my confidence.
Excelente video Maddie! You are rocking it Girl! Mi esposo no es fanático de KZread, pero tus videos le gustan y dice que tu canal será buenísimo! Also, I think I would like my 2 boys to take courses with Mextalki. They refuse to practice their Spanish with me or their dad. Maybe this will encourage them.
I love these two young men. Do more videos together! I watch them to learn Spanish, you help the English speaker that is still a little slower with their Spanish. The combo is dynamic!
Hi Maddie! Your spanish is great! I'm so happy for you, I really admire your courage. You have gone through a lot and still here you are, with a new beginning in life, turning the page and doing it amazingly! Keep going girl! 😄
Jeff and I really enjoyed you speaking Spanish and with the English captions with it. Great job! Looking forward to your next video!

Great job maddie been waiting for your videos, glad to see your channel taking off you gonna hit 100,000 in no time.
Alcanzaste un nuevo nivel con esto, Maddie. ¡Felicitaciones!
Yay! Thanks for the great video!. Hope many more to come.
Loved this! I like that it’s in Spanish conversation in context with 2 great local people (who know the lay of the land and speak naturally). Plus gives an orientation of a local setting we will all encounter and need to know how to navigate. Language teachers say this is the best way to learn. Please do these kinds of videos regularly. Plus you will get so comfortable with speaking Spanish and be even more confident in your endeavours.

You’re Amazing! Thank you so much for this video, I’m learning Mexican Spanish since i want to move there one day. This has been so helpful for my listening skills
Omggggggggg Maddie!!! I just love this whole video!!! You did it all in Spanish that is a huge feat!!! The guys were awesome. You can tell you all had an amazing time such amazing energy. I can’t express how much I loved this video!
Me encanta tu personalidad y Ya estás muy avanzada en el español. Enhorabuena por tu nuevo emprendimiento! 🌼🌼
Love this!! So glad you made your own channel :) you are amazing
Great video! I'm trying to listen to as much Spanish in my day to day life. It's a huge bonus to be able to watch a channel I like and get my Spanish fix at the same time. Also, I have to say I get a little nervous speaking Spanish with my very patient, kind coworker. I can't imagine posting a video entirely in Spanish. That has got to take a huge amount of guts. Way to go! Please keep them coming! Excited to see more of this channel.
Another great video. Speaking the language is a great way to immerse yourself in another culture. Hopefully there's going to be a series on lots of street food in Mexico City. Really enjoying your content. Thanks!
hola Maddie felicidades por tu nuevo canal.😀😀your spanish is very good btw!!
Great job! I'm sitting here ready to leave cozumel heading back to California in the morning after diving the beautiful Mexican Reefs for a week. I've been watching you for the past year and a half and your personality made the the old channel what it was. You share so much info, especially when dealing with vendors etc. So glad you're pushing forward, watching you made me more comfortable with the thought of traveling to Mexico. Keep being a badass :)
Love everything about this Maddie, great work!! I am so stoked MaddieGold is a thing 🎉
Loved this video, Maddie! Mextalki sounds like a fantastic program. Thanks for sharing!
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE NEW VIDEO ❤❤❤❤ Yes Girl.. so proud of you!!! Great content and I loved that you did it all in spanish... I got rocket Spanish watching TT Cause of you and its a great course... however talking to friends in Belize to practice I've learned that more slang is used so I cannot wait to try this new app you recommended!!!! Also Diago is super handsome and you 2 would look cute together, I hope you go on a date with him. And if you guys are homies... im sure him and his brother know some nice gentleman 👌 👏 Cant wait to see your next video girl.. keep up the amazing work 👏

Bichos son la proteína del futuro. 😋😄 I’ve most often eaten chapulines (grasshoppers) out in the countryside. Catching them can be a family activity or a kids activity. I’ve seen families get really organized and use bedsheets to capture swarms of chapulines (the kids acting as drovers), and I’ve seen a few kids out with jars. When you fill a jar, you go home, clean them in water (which also kills them as you’re basically drowning them), and have your mama fry em up crispy in the coral. Sprinkle on a bit of chili powder and sal, and you’ve got a very healthy snack.
Wonderful video Maddie! So proud of you and very impressed by your confidence in your Spanish skills girl!!! Gives me even more motivation to keep learning! I can’t wait to see more on your channel! You are doing amazing sis!
What a wonderful way to present their services AND also enjoy another wonderful experience in Mexico City.

So glad you went for it trying the quesadillas. Love the new format. 🥳🥳
Maddy, I always enjoy all your videos, but I think this is my favorite of all. I love how much Spanish you have learned these past few years and the friendships you are developing throughout your travel! Stay safe. I can't wait to see upcoming videos.
