Hoy hablamos (de nuevo??) de libros! Tres libros distintos, de hecho.

In this episode, we chat about how stressful cooking for other people (including friends) can be, and try to think of reasons for why we create this stress for ourselves.

In this episode, we chat a little bit about books, audiobooks, and give some advice about reading to develop your language skills.

In this episode, we chat with our dear friend Zandokán about making big changes in life.

In this episode, we chat about University, theses and higher education in Colombia and Canada. There are some pretty interesting differences between our experiences! 

In this first episode back, Kamila and I talk a little about what we've been doing and how we moved to Victoria, Canada. We get into some of the first cultural differences that she's noticed.

In this episode, Kamila and I are back together for my birthday in Bogotá! We talk a little about her experiences teaching Spanish to a native francophone, and compares these experiences with those of teaching me Spanish. We also set out some grand plans to discuss what we like about rock climbing and a play we went to see last night, although this will have to wait for the next episode...

Here's a second short interview with Nicole, my friend who works in the same lab. She tells me a little about the field courses she just finished, and we chat about how grad school stacks up to our expectations.

This is a shorter episode where I talk a little about some of the words used in Panamanian Spanish, that actually come from English. I also give two suggestions of really fantastic tools for practicing Spanish in a way that will get you understanding native speakers more quickly!

After a 2-month Christmas and field-work hiatus, we're back! I apologize for not having published anything recently, tell a little about my recent work trip to the Darién Gap of Panamá, and share a recording I made of a friend telling a story about a Panamanian who finds gold in a stream, but also finds a nasty surprise thanks to scheming in the family!
