ACCESS THE FREE GUIDED SESSION "Why Spanish Feels Hard and It's Not You": https://thespanishontheroad.com/spanish-for-neurospicy-brains/
What happens when you understand the words someone is saying, but completely miss the unwritten cultural code behind them? 🌍🇧🇷🇪🇸
In Episode 63, I am joined by the wonderful Jordana Borcks, a Brazilian Spanish teacher, to talk about everything that goes Más allá del idioma (Beyond the language). For a neurospicy mind, navigating the sensory and social shifts of a new country—like sudden physical touch, intense greetings, and different styles of humor—can be both hilarious and completely overwhelming. Jordana shares her raw, funny experiences adapting to the Hispanic world and surviving the ultimate cultural plot twists.
What we break down today:
🫂 The Sensory Shift: Navigating the unspoken rules of physical proximity, from the sudden hugs and kisses when greeting someone to family dynamics.
🤯 Lost in Translation: Hilarious language misunderstandings and how identical gestures can mean completely opposite things between Brazil and Spanish-speaking countries.
🧠 The Social Blueprint: Why decoding local humor and body language is the ultimate dopamine-friendly shortcut to real, authentic connection.
Hit play to expand your ear, embrace the beautiful chaos of cultural differences, and learn to read between the lines! ✨
