Episode 87: 10 More Fun Phrases!

Today's episode will be a little more light-hearted. Let's look at two phrases from each of the 6 Spanish-speaking countries we've recently focused on: Chile, Guatemala, Ecuador, Bolivia, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic! This episode is a continuation of Episode 81: 10 Fun Spanish Sayings (and if you'd like even more fun phrases, check out Episodes 27 and 62). :D
Side note: because this is a cultural experience in and of itself, we won't have any Cultural Tips at the end of today's episode.

Remember, learning a language is a lifelong journey.
