It just depends on the school and districts standards... Every Spanish teacher I had growing up either was Hispanic or lived in a Spanish speaking country for a significant amount of time. They would bring in souvenirs from their travels, cook us traditional food, and could not only speak fluently to the Spanish students, but often *corrected* them on their speaking and, more frequently, their writing. For reference, I grew up in central Indiana.

I started learning Spanish independently of school during the pandemic as a middle schooler. Fast forward a couple of years, and I’m a couple of years ahead of most students taking Spanish classes, and I can tell that our school definitely has better teachers than most districts, since basically all of our language teachers have lived for prolonged periods of time in the country of origin for their selected language, but even then, I can still notice issues in the way my fellow white second language Spanish-speakers, the teachers specifically, speak, mostly revolving around z and s not being pronounced the same way, the letter r being pronounced by the uvula, etc.

The brilliance of this sketch is that the dialogue in Spanish has to be familiar enough so that non-Spanish speakers can still understand the jokes. Mikey killed it with the super-gringo Spanish 201 accent and vocabulario. The sketch with Marcelo and Pedro Pascal is gold -- I hope this is a recurring bit with all the Latine hosts.

Hispanic means that you/your family come from a country that speaks Spanish (culture), and Latino that you come from Latin America (Mexico, Central & South America and the Caribbean). Hispanic denotes culture and Latino geography. A Brazilian is Latino but not Hispanic, a Mexican is both Latino and Hispanic and a Spaniard is only Hispanic.
I'm pretty sure this sketch was actually based off a stand up set by Marcello Hernández about him schooling his Spanish teacher when he was younger just like this. Super cool that they let him have this level of input and super funny sketch!

@Brian Shockley I saw that too in my Spanish classes in high school. It's because feeling a language in your soul does not mean that you know that language on an academic level. Like conjugating some of the lesser used verb tenses, like the subjuntivo pretérito pluscuamperfecto, or even knowing what those terms mean. I do lots of language exchanges, and I get questions all the time that stump me, because I've never had to think about how XY&Z work in English. For example, I had some guy ask me about verbal phrases. My initial response was, "What the heck is a verbal phrase?" Then you also have to consider dialectual differences. Native speaker or not, you gotta study the vocab list. For example, in my Spanish 1 class, we learned that doll=muñeca. Except no one says that. All the native speakers got it wrong on the test.

@@brianshockley6429 it is humorous at first, but it’s useful to know that a lot of Latinx parents are immigrants to the USA, so their children know Spanish just by speaking and listening, but they never take classes to understand the WHY of Spanish structure. They are not in schools where they are reading Spanish materials or writing in Spanish (American education system, where English is the dominant language in a school), and access to Spanish books for children in the US is hard. Also, many immigrant parents want their kids to focus on English. I had a Mexican girl in my AP Spanish class and she could speak and listen, but it was humiliating for her because she could not read a word to save her life or write, and I can empathize with her that the situation made her feel detached from her roots or ashamed… Think about it from your perspective as a native English speaker studying a foreign language. The PASSIVE skills (listening and reading) might be easier for you because you usually learn Spanish grammar and pronunciation first. The ACTIVE skills to produce the language (speaking and writing) are harder for you because you did not grow up surrounded by the language input to need to use it. Everybody has different levels of speaking, writing, listening, and reading. Also, you can be a native speaker and still not know all the complexities of your language. We learned English as kids and we didn’t need books to be able to speak or listen, so basically, the rules are “intuitive” to us, but we cannot explain WHY some things are the way they are. For goodness sakes, many people say “I of eaten” instead of “I have eaten”, mix up their homophones, and can’t use the right pronouns (he vs him). The SAT also proves that we do not know a lot of vocabulary outside of standard everyday use. If you know the European levels of language (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2), most native speakers cannot score a C2.
This is a perfect example of the difference between speaking a language and speaking a culture 🤣💜

As a Mexican American who grew up with Spanish as my first language I found aspects were relatable, but I still had a different experience. I took Spanish classes from middle school through college. Most of my teachers were White and had an American accent, but I also found they taught formal Spanish which seemed to be derived from South America. We did have discrepancies in the word choices, but the teachers always had a firm grip on what was "right or wrong" in their class-rooms and we had to adhere to how they wanted to write. They never really backed down or felt uncomfortable and they definitely made us native speakers feel inadequate. On the other side, while we had better command of the accents and conversation, we didn't necessarily have better writing or grammar. Most of our parents went to school up to 3rd grade and were farm laborers. I did need to learn the grammar for many jobs where they expected excellent and well written translations. I only say this because it's complicated because there are aspects where where native speakers do get to be in command and aspects where formally trained people get to be in command.

I never took Spanish as a foreign language because I was born in Cuba and spoke Spanish fluently at home, but I was drawn to German in high school. I remember learning all of the grammar rules in class and actually ended up improving my English grammar as well despite being fluent. Language classes are a huge asset to any student because it teaches you the logic behind language which goes beyond basic communication. Definitely an eye-opening experience! :)

Linguistic aptitude is fundamental to describing everything we sense and yet students (who aren’t taking foreign language classes) stop receiving that education in elementary school.

The English language is so vast, we should be regularly brushing up on its rules.

I suppose it’s similar to when I was in Ireland. My friend was dating a gal from Spain. She could talk with him and the others, but had a very difficult time understanding me. It dawned on me that they likely learn the king’s English. The other part I found interesting is one night she had a Chilean acquaintance over. After he left she explained how she had a tough time talking with him due to the language differences. I asked her a bit about it and she said that even within Spain there is a considerable regional language difference, to the point that she had a difficult time communicating with people from other areas. As an English speaker I find that fascinating. Although English may very slightly from region to country, it doesn’t seem that drastic. On the other hand, Spanish seems to very wildly even in one country and certainly to another.

In 4th grade I had teacher like that who did not really know the spanish language. She would ask the students where the accent goes when writting on the board, and she did not know how to conjugate the verbs properly. She did not teach Spanish for very long, only three or four years. She had no business being a Spanish teacher. 😂
