¿Sabes qué eran las clases de mecanografía? Es una cosa que hacíamos cuando yo era niña y que ahora es muy útil para esta vida tecnológica en la que vivimos.

Curiosidades sobre el español y su cultura

Las clases de mecanografía

My mom and I take a quiz about American dialects to discover whether we speak the same way as other people from our region.

FULL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT AVAILABLE HERE⁠⁠: https://american-idiom.com/f/006-exploring-american-dialects-part-one

During our conversation, we also discuss regional vocabulary and accents from distinct sociocultural regions across the United States, including the South, the West Coast, New England, Texas, the Midwest and more.

You'll certainly learn a bit more about regional American cultures as well!

(This is just the first half of the quiz. I'll be posting the rest next week.)

Straw

Durante mi estancia como profesor para nepalís en India, algunas noches entre té y té, disfrutaba de charlas sobre el Himalaya. Fábulas del Nepal sobre el origen del mundo, de la cascada que nace el Ganges desde la cabellera de Shiva y también de las hazañas de los sherpas que conocen hasta el más mínimo secreto de la cordillera más impresionante de nuestro planeta. Casi todos decían lo mismo: el Everest es el más alto, pero no es el más difícil de ascender.
