This Thursday, Telecinco broadcast a new TardeAR program, Ana Rosa Quintana’s new television space in the afternoons of the Fuencarral network, which arrived on the Telecinco grid after the new management leadership decided to end one of its most emblematic programs. , Save me.
During the afternoon, the format’s collaborators were discussing a news story related to English and the Spanish population, when suddenly Mario Vaquerizo became the real protagonist of the Telecinco space with his peculiar statements.
After a commercial break, the presenter introduced the news that ”Spain fails speaking English”. ”All of Europe already knows, we Spaniards are behind Europe when it comes to speaking English. Only Hungarians speak worse than us according to research by a prestigious European linguist,” the presenter explained. ”How are you good at the language?” Quintana asked her collaborators.
”I am not in favor of polls lately because they all fail. I think I speak badly, I feel very sorry for the language barrier and I would like to know more English,” declared Vaquerizo. ”Only 22% of Spaniards are fluent in English,” the co-presenter asserted.
Minutes later, the collaborator continued telling about his experience traveling through Tokyo and assured that there “they scare you and everything.” ”I think that many times we put the language barrier on ourselves. I just got back from New York and I didn’t know where I was. And simply by talking I arrived at the site (…). What I want to say is that in Tokyo there are many subway lines and the people are very cold and I am very talkative and even if they don’t understand you, you understand yourself with your body language,’ he assured.
”Before this pandemic came, I entered the subway there and there were all the Japanese women who looked like Michael Jackson covered with masks. What a bummer on the subway and on top of that they stopped me for not wearing a mask. “They went ahead, because so did we, but for a public matter,” he continued.
”I am in favor of pollution, we are not Heidi in the countryside. How am I going to walk from Vicálvaro, where my parents live, to Gran Vía, where I live. How am I going to go? Cycling? It can’t be, I’ll have to go in a car. And since in Madrid Central they have removed the lanes, there is more traffic jam and the more traffic jam there is, the more smoke there is and the more pollution,” Vaquerizo confessed.
