TQ 104 Marcelo from El Salvador, Central America

Marcelo spent several days with me in my apartment in Nanning, China. He rested, relaxed, and did some research on China. He has been cycling around the world for the last six years! He entered China from Vietnam and is on his way north. His home country, El Salvador is very small in size, and has a population of only 7 million. He talks about the problem he has at some borders, because the border guards have never heard of his country! Listen as he talks about his trip, and lists all the countries he has cycled in. There's a good chance that Marcelo will say your country!

Marcelo has a strong Spanish accent. Some of you may find it challenging to understand him. I usually repeat the words that he says incorrectly, so that you can understand him. I don't correct his grammar. He told me that he didn't have to study English in school, so he chose another language. He learned English as an adult.

Here are some words we use that you may not know: saint, humidity, tropical, journalist, optimistic, Nordic, Scandinavia, malaria, picky, cemetery, to surf, shade, Bedouin, and nomad.
