OUR SUBTITLES 🔡
We try to translate our subtitles into English in the most literal way possible, without losing the meaning. While it may not always produce the best-sounding translation, we hope you find this helpful as it should reduce the need for a dictionary or grammar book to understand every sentence.

00:00The 9th of June are European elections, and that's why all the Easy Languages teams have thought that would be
00:06interesting to grab a video about it.
00:09What do you think of the European Union? Do you want to discover what the people in Barcelona tell us?
00:16Well Harry, 3, 2, 1 and...
00:18Let's go!
00:20When I say European Union, what do you think of the European Union?
00:25Brussels
00:27Many countries
00:30Politica
00:31Comercio
00:32That between all we can be stronger
00:35In principle, it should be progress, that's what comes to mind, but lately I don't think we're going in that
00:42direction.
00:43What do you think of the European Union when we talk about the European Union?
00:47Mafia
00:47A ladron
00:50Really, the only thing that comes to mind is that they say European Union, but it's a lie, there's no
00:55union, there's no union, there's no union, but well.
00:58Oportunities, in part equality, also a little bit of the issue, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know,
01:06I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
01:11I don't know, there's no union, I don't know, I don't know, it's a lie, I don't know, for you
01:14to be quite easily and more like with superìnate word Therefore, it's a lot Ohhh?
01:25What do you think about the European Union will be парal Phoenix for только like withiten will grow European Union?
01:332
01:36Timurally, Japan is part of the European Union and!
01:38for me, the best.
01:40The advantages are a little while traveling,
01:43because when you are a European Union
01:44with DNI, you enter very quickly
01:46in any country.
01:48Well, there is an economic support
01:50in certain occasions.
01:53Subventions,
01:54especially the issue of subventions.
01:55European education
01:57to improve x concepts,
02:00what they consider.
02:03The space Schengen
02:04allows free circulation.
02:07They have been able to trade between countries
02:09in a much simpler way.
02:11And that has been seen
02:13with the Brexit.
02:14They have had many difficulties.
02:17I think we have that culture
02:18of progress
02:20and of
02:23trying to move
02:24to improve
02:26at the public and at the state.
02:29Within the policies
02:31that we have, which we don't agree,
02:33we have to say that
02:34within this, we are very privileged
02:36because we have access to health,
02:39which in other places
02:41there is not.
02:42Well, I suppose there are
02:45in terms of help.
02:46There are advantages,
02:48because here we are always
02:48on the track.
02:51But in the beginning
02:52it has to be positive,
02:53or it has to be positive.
02:55I think
02:56for me
02:56as extranjera
02:59within
02:59I have more advantages
03:01than disadvantages.
03:02I really can't give
03:03an opinion.
03:04I know
03:04that there are certain issues
03:06that maybe
03:06as a bloke
03:07in terms of political positions
03:08and that all
03:10have to be aligned.
03:11Dis advantages,
03:12loss of identity
03:14because you have to adapt
03:15to other policies,
03:18loss of products,
03:20loss of products.
03:21I think
03:22when we change
03:23we lose a lot
03:25because
03:26everything
03:26has increased
03:27a lot,
03:28but the money
03:29did not increase.
03:30Look,
03:31the goal
03:32that they put us
03:33with the euro
03:33has failed.
03:36You don't know
03:37how we lived
03:38with the peset
03:39and now
03:39with the euro.
03:40We have all
03:41a lot.
03:42It is a
03:44fictitious construction
03:45to serve
03:46to economic interests.
03:47Because everyone
03:48thinks about
03:49Europe
03:50thinks about
03:51public health,
03:55public health,
03:56public health,
03:57good quality
03:57and I think
03:59we are looking
04:00in the opposite direction.
04:02The patriarchy
04:03is what I would say
04:04is the worst
04:05because
04:05at the end
04:06there is always
04:07this current
04:09that is noticed
04:10in terms of
04:11women
04:11in terms of
04:12salaries,
04:13men keep paying
04:14more than women
04:15and
04:15and
04:17well.
04:22I think
04:25that
04:26if you like
04:27videos
04:29with subtitles
04:29in Spanish
04:30and English
04:31and also
04:31different topics
04:33of politics
04:33or drama
04:35for example
04:35the sponsor
04:36of today
04:37can be interested.
04:38It's called Lingopie
04:39and it's a platform
04:41where you can find
04:42a lot
04:42of videos
04:44or movies
04:45or series
04:46to study Spanish
04:47because they also
04:48have subtitles
04:50in the two languages
04:51that you can select
04:54generalist
04:54of vocabulary
04:55and
04:56you can see
04:57the video
04:57more slow
04:58and faster
04:59as well
05:00as well
05:00as well
05:00of other
05:01functions
05:01that is
05:02well
05:02also
05:03if you are
05:05registered with the link
05:06in the description
05:07you will have a
05:097 days
05:10and
05:11very good
05:13for your plans
05:14and
05:16Echadle a look, we will leave more information in the description.
05:20Now, let's continue with the interviews.
05:23Do you consider European citizen?
05:27It's complicated. Politically, yes, but culturally, no.
05:36I'm the best citizen of the world, because I'm only European.
05:39I'm the best citizen of the world.
05:42Yes, I don't have that respect to European.
05:47But rather, I'm the respect to catalan, at the beginning.
05:53I suppose, yes. I've used the advantages that you have, so I say yes.
05:57At the beginning, yes.
05:59I don't know if I'm a click or a change, but yes, yes, yes.
06:04Yes, yes, yes.
06:05Why?
06:05Why?
06:07I think, because we've always been here in the same place,
06:12I've never been outside of Europe,
06:14I've never been outside of Europe,
06:16so I've always considered European.
06:18Well, I'm part of an ancient culture,
06:21of some benefits that we've given the time,
06:24in terms of being here present.
06:26I've never been outside of Europe,
06:30and I've lived from many parts.
06:33I've never been outside of Europe,
06:34I've never been outside of Europe,
06:36I've never been outside of Europe,
06:36nor American, nor anything.
06:38Europe is also built based on the great powers, Germany, France, which are the ones that, let's say,
06:46have built up some policies of well-being, but I think they are the ones that are the ones that
06:49are more beneficial.
06:50The PICs, Portugal, Italy, Grecia, Spain, it seems that we are not European, that we are like the second,
06:56so I don't know if culturally or economically, or how to express it correctly, but we are a little bit
07:04desprestigiated.
07:05Do you want to vote in June 9?
07:09Yes, I don't know if there were, but I will vote.
07:12I have to tell you that there are elections.
07:16I didn't know about two days ago, so I didn't know.
07:19Well, I don't know, I have big doubts, because I'm absolutely decepcionada with the political class.
07:28You have to exercise the right to vote, then you can go that way.
07:32You have to vote, you have to do it, even if you don't agree with what there is.
07:37There are a lot of parties that if you don't like the ones that are now, there are animalists,
07:41there are many parties to vote.
07:44So I think it's important, because we are deprived of what I said, women of these rights,
07:49it has costed a lot, you have to go to vote.
07:51How do you imagine, or how do you like to imagine, the European Union in the future?
07:57Menos hypocrite.
07:59Con más unión.
08:00A ver, primero de todo, inclusión, que se acabe la segregación.
08:06O sea, quieren ver que dan muchas oportunidades, sobre todo a la gente que viene de fuera,
08:11pero a la hora de la verdad, bueno, sí que invierten unos recursos hasta un tiempo limitado.
08:16Creo que la política inmigratoria de Europa, espero que cambie, porque ahí nos estamos, bueno,
08:22ya lo vimos con Siria, cuando hubo el conflicto con la guerra, que hay muchos países que directamente,
08:30España uno de los primeros, no trabajó en esa línea, para atraer más gente.
08:36Entonces, hay como una especie de inmigrantes privilegiados a nivel europeo.
08:41Una Unión Europea sin privilegios, y esto es imposible.
08:46Hay muchos mundos, pero están en este.
08:50Y nosotros vivimos en uno privilegiado.
08:54Y esto ha sido todo por hoy.
08:56¿Qué te han parecido las opiniones?
08:57¿Te han sorprendido tanto como a nosotros?
09:00Déjanos en los comentarios qué opinas tú de la Unión Europea.
09:03Y lo que también puede sorprenderte es ver que han contestado personas en otros países.
09:08Por eso, te aconsejamos que cheques el vídeo que dejamos por aquí,
09:12donde otros equipos de Easy Languages hacían las mismas preguntas.
09:16Muchísimas gracias y hasta la próxima.
09:18¡Gracias!
09:19¡Gracias!
09:20¡Gracias!
09:22¡Gracias!
09:22¡Gracias!
