4. From 'Chévere' to 'Cachai': A Venezuelan Lost in Translation


Listen Later

In this episode, Venezuelan expat José Lopez-Coronado shares his laugh-out-loud experiences adjusting to life in Chile and his shock of not being able to understand Chileans at first, as a native Spanish speaker. We dive into the delicious Chilean “once" tradition, how he discovered “ahora” has a different interpretation in Chile, and even uncover quirky speech impediment differences between Spanish and English that might help you with your own pronunciation. It's a fun-filled hangout about language mishaps, cultural surprises, and the joy of learning as you go!
