para decirme esta mierda

She bought my book:

How to speak Spanish (or any other languge)
https://www.amazon.es/-/en/Monica-B...efinements=p_27:Bernabé+Pérez&s=books&sr=1-16
with a narco, a Philosopher and a real human.



She said I use too many bad words.
She’s not sure if my book will help her.



And I thought:

Has she never watched Narcos?

Because in Narcos nobody says:
“Oh dear, I feel uncomfortable.”



They say:
“¡Joder!”
“¡Carajo!”
“¡Hijueputa!”
“¡No mames!”
“¡Qué coño pasa!”
“¡La puta madre!”

That’s not decoration.



That’s culture.



Bad words in Spanish are not just insults.
They are rhythm.
They are friendship.
They are anger.
They are admiration.
They are shock.
They are love.
They are ego.
They are blood pressure.

If you remove the heat,
you remove the truth.



In Spain you hear “joder” every five seconds.
In Mexico you hear “no mames.”
In Argentina someone calls you “boludo”

and it might mean idiot… or best friend.

In Colombia “hijueputa” can be rage…

or respect.



It’s messy.
It’s loud.
It’s alive as hell.



And if you don’t understand that,
you don’t understand the culture.



You understand vocabulary.

But you don’t understand people.



And what the hell is language without people?



Look at Bad Bunny.

On the biggest stages in the world he says things like:
“Acho, cabrón, vente y perrea…”

And stadiums explode.

Why?

Because it’s real.
Because it’s street.
Because it’s not sanitized.
Because it sounds like home.

That’s culture.
That’s identity.
That’s power.


The same people who say
“Please, no swearing”

are the ones who later ask,
“Why does my copy feel flat?”
“Why doesn’t my message move anyone?”
“Why does nobody react?”

Because you removed the pulse.

Strong language is not the point.

Emotion is the point.

Intensity is the point.

Meaning is the point.

And sometimes meaning says
“me cago en todo”
instead of
“I am slightly disappointed.”

Anyway

Jajajaja, me divertí leyéndote, llevas razón. Pero tengo una pregunta... ¿Por qué escribes en ambos idiomas a la vez tanto en la web como aquí?


Es sólo curiosidad.
¿Hay un motivo específico detrás? ¿Te da algún resultado?
