Starting out in your Aguay, you were saying 212 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: that it was hard to be, you know, socially posting online. 213 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: But at what point did you start kind of putting 214 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: yourself out there online and what kind of like content 215 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: were you making. 216 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I grew up recording myself, like I had 217 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: a recording camera, but I would just like fake that 218 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 2: I had a YouTube channel, like you guys asked me 219 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: for this whole, and I would just speak up stuff 220 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 2: around the house to make a whole that like they 221 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: got not giving me by back that day. It was 222 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: like old stuff. But then on like twenty twenty, I 223 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 2: think one of my friends were like, I think you 224 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: should post a video like dancing. 225 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: This is when covid hit. 226 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of like yeah around covid. She was like, 227 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: I think you start posting like dancing, and then I 228 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: started just doing it for fun, and then little by 229 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 2: little I started like getting followers. It was like maybe 230 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 2: like in Uru way and then a feel my videos 231 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: kind of like got to the US. And then that's 232 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 2: when I was like, oh my god, that's crazy, like 233 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 2: seeing like all the English comments and stuff like that. 234 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: Right, because when you first started out it was mainly 235 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: a Uruguay audience and then slowly you became international. 236 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like it's the dancing because you don't talk, 237 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 2: so then they can't tell like what language you speak. 238 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 2: It was just like dances in English, So I guess 239 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 2: like hit the US or something. I don't know, but 240 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: it was crazy. 241 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: I think it's also very cool that you have like 242 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: this international audience, especially being bilingual yourself. Also, we haven't 243 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: even gotten to this, but Fernando learned how to speak 244 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: English three years ago. Guys, let's just put that out 245 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: there because that is crazy. I feel like the hardest 246 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: thing about learning a new language, and tell me if 247 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. But it's also like understanding humor in another 248 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: language too. 249 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean definitely my boyfriend in English, Like I 250 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 2: don't know that it's me that, but i'm his personality, 251 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 2: which is so bad because I talk like my boyfriend 252 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: because I learned everything from him. I don't know who 253 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 2: I was talking to, but they were Like the fact 254 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: that you learned from him is so bad because like 255 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 2: your vocabulary is probably horrible because of him. But I'm 256 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: definitely a completely different person in Spanish, like I'm belief. 257 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 2: I think I'm funnier in Spanish. 258 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: Do you speak any other languages or is it Spanish 259 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: and English? 260 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 2: One is in English, I understand a little bit of 261 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 2: like Portuguese, like Brazilian Portuguese, but I can I'm ashamed 262 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: to speak it, like embarrassed so I won't speak it, 263 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: but I understand it. But it's just similar to Spanish, 264 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: Like it's pretty similar. But I think the reason why 265 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 2: I learned Spanish like English so well, I think is 266 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: because I, like, I don't know, like my brain have sorbed. 267 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: Like if we stayed talking together for a long time, 268 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: I would absorbed everything that you say, and I will 269 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: start saying it without noticing. 270 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: Let's talk about this because when you were living in 271 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: your Aguays, when you first met your boyfriend, right, he 272 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,599 Speaker 1: slid into your DMS, tell me that story.
