We almost always answer your questions over in Washington Square Park, where there is so much noise:
police sirens, construction equipment, live music, it really gets in our way.
But today will be much better, because we're in my house in Queens where everything is quiet for Amigo Gringo…
Ah, that's my friend Mariana, sorry.
Hi, how are you?
Come in.
OK, sorry everyone. Let's do that again. Amigo Gringo…
OK, finally, Amigo Gringo...
ah crap, now the baby woke up. Wait a minute, I don't have children. It must be our editor Dreiky putting in sound effects,
I'm going to kill him, Dreiky, you're going to...
...get a raise, and a "13th month" bonus, which doesn't even exist here, because you are the best editor I have ever seen.
Amigo Gringo Responde.
Today's first question is from Gustavo Holzmeister, from Viana, Espirito Santo, who asked "What do Americans think of the English?"
Gustavo, that's a question we receive a lot, which is not to say you're unoriginal, but your originality is...shared by many.
OK, what I think of the English is that they wear absurd glasses and look sort of Mexican.
Yes, did you know Eric was born in England and is a British citizen? OK, but speaking of real English,
just like with you and the Portuguese, we make fun of them for some stereotypes, like 1) horrible teeth;
2) disgusting, tasteless food; 3) they drink a lot of tea, always at 5pm, and they drink lots of beer, always at...always.
And 4) it rains every day in London. But in general, Americans actually like the English, at least more than Brazilians like the Portuguese.
We love their accent, for example. We always say that it is so sophisticated that whoever has one sounds intelligent even when they're just talking crap.
Greetings! Sir, you are a fricking idiot!
Wow, Eric, you are really sophisticated. OK, there are many scholarships available to study in England, and we also like English comedy,
music, and of course actors - some of whom imitate an American accent perfectly, it's incredible.
Like Rick from the Walking Dead, and I saw several seasons of House before I found out Hugh Laurie was English.
His American accent was perfect. And, folks, the director Eric Hinojosa always does a perfect American impression.
And let's also remember that our governments are buddies and that our armies love to wage war together and invade countries. Wow, what a great partnership.
Cool.
And the next question is from CK Comedy, who wrote, "Hello Amigo Gringo. If I were to ask you something, what would it be?"
Hmm, good question.
Ah, it would be this: "Amigo Gringo, is it true you use a can of powdered chocolate in your pants for your @#*$(* to look bigger?
Ha, how ridiculous! This can of powdered chocolate in my pants is in case I get hungry. It's this bag of manioc flour that I use to make my @#*$& look bigger.
And now, Fabio Carlos wrote: Hello Amigo Gringo! I'd like to know how someone, like minors or blind people who aren't eligible for a driver's license can identify themselves in case they are approached by the police.
OK, just to explain, Fabio wrote to us after another Amigo Gringo Responds in which we explained that in the United States there is no national identification card,
and that we use driver's licenses as identification. Two part response.
First, even if you don't drive, you can ask for state ID, that's an ID that's the same as a driver's license, without the driver's license part.
And many minors use school IDs, which is also valid. And one bit of news here in New York, is that if you are 14 years old or older,
you can request a municipal identification card, which makes life easier for undocumented immigrants who don't have the right to a driver's license.
Second part of the answer, listen to this. In New York State, you are not obliged to carry identification.
If an officer stops you, you don't even need to say "Hi", let alone show ID.
Now, if the officer is going to fine you or arrest you, it's different. You need to prove who you are in some way or other.
Even if it's to call your parents and tell them to meet you at the police station. I think it would be highly preferable to carry an ID.
NEW YORKESE CLASS

and if you have a time machine at home, participate in our Orkut community, "I like like to wear Speedos in winter."
And now, your New Yorkese class, which comes from a question from Wellington Rodrigues, who wrote:
"Seth, explain the difference between 'get together,' 'hang out' and 'see each other.' Interesting.
OK, those are three ways of saying "spend time together," but they're subtly different. To get together - a phrasal verb, I know you love them,
is simply the act of hanging out socially: "Let's get together" is like, let's make plans to do something, like go to the movies or have lunch or go to a bar or whatever.
"Hang out" is more or less the same but implies something less involved: imagine two friends having coffee or watching television.
But now imagine something else: if a guy who likes a girl says "Let's hang out", it's to pretend they only want to have coffee or watch TV.
But in reality, they're not fooling anyone with that "Hey, let's hang out sometime." Now, "see each other" is different.
You can't use "let's see each other" to make plans. It's used more to describe the act of two people running into each other.
But careful, because if you use the present continuous tense, "They're seeing each other," it means they're starting a romantic relationship.
OK, so here you'll see Eric and me hanging out.
And here, Eric and me seeing each other.
Folks, those are characters from our Valentine's Day episode, first - don't take them too seriously, and second, watch the video, it's right here.
