Visit to Madrid (Plaza Mayor)
War letztes Wochenende in Madrid, habe mir ein bisschen Sorgen wegen der Hitze gemacht, hat jeden Tag 38-39 Grad gehabt, was für Spanien normal ist, aber die Sonne ist viel stärker als in Deutschland oder Österreich, das spürt man.
Und noch ein witziges Fun Fact, die Spanier können kaum Englisch, obwohl sie es in der Schule lernen, und ich kein Spanisch. Aber gut, wenn man die zweithäufigste Sprache der Welt spricht, muss man vielleicht nicht unbedingt Englisch lernen.
Was sagt ihr dazu? Wart ihr schon mal in Madrid oder Spanien? Wie seid ihr ohne Sprachkenntnisse zurechtgekommen oder könnt ihr fließend Spanisch?
Plaza Mayor in Madrid, Spain
English
I was in Madrid last weekend. I was a little worried about the heat, it was about 100-105 degrees F every day, which is normal for Spain, but the sun is much stronger than in Germany or Austria, you can really feel it.
And here’s a funny fact: Spaniards, Españoles, barely speak English, even though they learn it in school, and I don’t speak Spanish. But then again, if you speak the second most common language in the world, maybe you don’t necessarily need to learn English.
What do you think? Have you ever been to Madrid or Spain? How did you manage without knowing the language, or are you fluent in Spanish?
