All the examples I can think of (as an expat) are either prudishness or a failure to integrate on our part as brits, or translations that sound too literal. Their form of directness is fine in Spanish but 'Tell me' in place of hello or how can I help you? sounds brutal in english. Other examples are similar in nature. In terms of rubbing me up the wrong way, it's about intention and I can't complain. If I was a domestic animal I might have some critiques. Leaving animal waste in the streets is more taboo in the UK too.

My Australian friend who is learning Spanish sent me this and asked for my opinion. I was worried I would find misguided stereotypes but I was wrong. So, here's my novel about it. -Hour-long farewells, great conversations at the doorstep? Guilty as charged. -Burned mouth? Yup. I have had a kettle in my house for 20 years, but mainly to mess with other Spanish people. "Why do you need an appliance just to heat water? How many times are you going to need water that hot in your lifetime?" my friends ask. -Ventilation? Yes, better freezing than stuffy. I live in the South, where it is never really cold anyway, but yes, I am the person opening windows when my inlaws are not looking, to save them from catching their deaths from recycled air. I am afraid that the idea of heat preservation is alien to us. Learning, though. -Death jokes? Well, I thought it was me who had a weird sense of humour and "people" didn't like hearing jokes about that. I am just realizing that it is Spanish people and not "people" in general who are appalled by my jokes. Maybe because I grew up hearing my (Spanish) father's very dark jokes, I find them very funny, but they don't work with everyone. -Food. Also true. Not for 100% of the population, but for a majority. I find it annoying when people's lives seem to revolve only about food. Have you been to Salamanca? you can ask someone, and their answer will not be about architecture or nightlife or whatever. It is "¡Qué bien se come allí!" I hate having a nice conversation devolving into a study of the bleeding peaches, whether they are fresh or not fresh or if the ones we had on Friday were fresher... So, yes, the food one is true. A Finnish diplomat was speaking on Spanish radio and everything was going great until the poor man dared to say he missed food from his home country. What? But but but you are in Spain now, how can you possibly miss any other kind of food? That is going to take a couple of generations ( or more) to change. So, sorry for the extremely long post (like a doorstep conversation) and thanks for your video. I am getting visitors from the UK soon and it is going to come handy!

An old, old man was lying in his death bed upstairs. His most favorite food in the world was chocolate chip cookies. As he lay there, gasping for each breath, he was sure he could smell freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies. He crawled out of bed and slowly limped down the stairs. Sure enough, across the kitchen, there was a huge platter of chocolate chip cookies on the table. He finally made it to the table and he reached a shaking hand towards the cookies. Suddenly, his wife slapped his hand sharply and yelled, "DON’T TOUCH THOSE - they’re for the funeral!"

As an English man living in Spain I've managed to spend my time with the locals rather than other brits, but I still learned a few things here and it explained a few pained faces that I had seen. I realize now that I have very kind friends here and I get away with a lot by being very sincere, but I'll have to explain my gallows humour and fussy food habits better. Spanish people are lovely and most seem to give foreigners more leeway because they're not stupid. If they can see that you're trying, they can be very generous. I feel more free not to settle for a cold milk coffee now, they can just run that microwave for an extra 30secs and I'll teach them sipping.

It's funny how Spanish people see the whole getting thier coat/walking them to the door thing is rude; it'd probably be rude _not_ to do that in England; almost like you're impeding them from leaving, haha. Edit: just got to 2:30 and you said the same thing, haha. On another note, I've often wondered about how sipping a sugary tea/coffee would effect the health of your teeth (particularly the front teeth) where - by sipping - you're probably allowing the sugar to come into contact with your teeth for longer periods. Maybe we should sip using straws instead... I'd imagine our American friends would agree that we (British) might benefit from a different method, haha.

You are quite right when it comes to the Spaniards' feeling about there food. They think it is the best in the world . I associate with many Americans at the nearby navy base here in Rota and I have heard several Americans who detest Spanish cuisine. For me I like probably most of it but not everything just like I don't like all American foods that I grew up. My wife is much more picky than me. Understandably she is a native of South Korea and nothing she eats either here or in the USA tastes right to her. To her all foods outside of Korea are too bland, haha.

Great video sadly a little late for me, but hopefully some will be able to save themselves whilst there is time. I've just come back from living in Ajalvir, Madrid 3 months. I was just watching this, wondering if i have broken any of these rules and upset the Spanish people i mixed with. Number 2 Hot drinks: 2 women i worked with thought i was weirdest person in the world for drinking hot water- agua caliente. They had never seen this before and weeks later would still joke to me "es verano 35 grados quieres un poco más de agua caliente". And Number 4 Jokes about death. I worked in care and so that was used to it every week, i had some great jokes which just had no reaction but they would have been belters if i had been england. Sadly i had to lower to my standards of jokes to get a laugh by including the words poop or toilet. Little tip find a english friend their and you get an opportunity to keep saying humour. And Number 5 Gravy. Oh no!! what i have done! lo siento espana. I asked for some gravy, but in my defence i was weak (probably from malnourishment) and i doubted i would get a taste of it ever again. So much of the food would have benefited from being in a partnership with a gravy. When i tried to describe the glorious taste of gravy to them, the usual reply was asking if me it was a salsa. At which point i wished i never started the conversation, and mentally said something derogative in my head cursing olive oil. Another little tip take along with you gravy granules, custard powder and brown sauce.

And never invite someone for a drink (unless you want to pay for todos )

I think he exaggerates quite a lot. This shouldn't be taken seriously at all, if that's what he really means. Or is he joking? I'm Spanish and I've never heard anybody mention the "magma whatever" when offering someone a cup of hot coffee. You would just say "cuidado, que quema". And you DO get very hot coffee in bars and coffee shops, unless you tell them otherwise. Maybe it happens wherever he lives in Spain, it's not the same everywhere. I have to specify how I like my coffee when travelling around Spain myself. As for the rest of the five tips.... well, ¡tres cuartos de lo mismo! 😁😜

Your phrase wasn't strong enough, in Ireland it's 'shut the fu*king door! You're letting the fu*king heat out!'

You forgot the 6th rule - no matter how much they may beg, never, no matter what, feed them after midnight.

@LightSpeed Spanish Letting your cats outside is a whole other discussion lol. But a lot of people do not let their cats outside and wouldn't expect them to come back, and I know I'd be very upset if someone left the door wide open and just let my cat run out. Even most dogs shouldn't be let outside off-leash. It takes a lot of training for either species to teach them to come back and I couldn't just expect everyone to have done that. It can be unsafe to let your pets outside unsupervised. That's what I meant with my question
