In this engaging Spanish lesson, Juan from "Español con Juan" offers five humorous yet practical tips for blending in with locals and avoiding the "tourist" label, or "guiri" as it's known in Spain. Beyond the cultural advice, the video cleverly integrates a grammar lesson on the imperative mood in Spanish, using the tips themselves as examples. Juan explains that affirmative imperative phrases will appear in blue, while negative ones (using the subjunctive) will be in red, providing a visual aid for learners. He reminds viewers that the affirmative imperative often mirrors the third-person singular form of verbs. Juan's first piece of advice is to always carry a Spanish newspaper, even if you don't understand it. The mere act of holding it, especially in a bar or while walking, will make you appear local and deter street vendors who often target tourists. Secondly, he strongly advises against sunbathing. Spaniards, he explains, seek shade due to the intense heat, especially during summer. He also suggests avoiding midday outings between 2 and 5 PM, as this is when locals stay indoors to escape the heat. The third and perhaps most emphatic tip is a fashion faux pas: never wear socks with sandals. Juan stresses that this is an absolute no-go for Spaniards, particularly white socks, and will immediately mark you as a tourist. Instead, he recommends going barefoot in sandals. His fourth fashion tip is to avoid brightly colored, patterned shirts. He suggests opting for more subdued, checkered shirts, similar to his own, which can be found in Spanish stores like Zara or El Corte Inglés. Finally, Juan advises against overusing "gracias" (thank you) and "por favor" (please). While politeness is generally good, he explains that in Spain, constantly saying these words can make you seem a bit odd or even like you're being sarcastic. He suggests a more direct approach, like simply saying "café con leche" when ordering, and not necessarily saying "gracias" every single time. He encourages viewers to subscribe to his channel for more Spanish lessons and to visit his blog, "One Thousand and One Reasons to Learn Spanish," for exercises to practice the imperative and to share their own tips for avoiding looking like a tourist.
