93. Speaking LatAm Spanish

Hello Language Lovers! Thank you for joining me for this episode of Speaking Tongues- the podcast in conversation with multilinguals. This week, I bring you episode 93 and a lovely chat with Mauricio who joins me to talk about his language of Latin American Spanish. We’ve covered Spanish as it’s spoken in a few different countries but since Mauricio is quite the traveler and has lived in several places, we’re talking about the broad topic which is Spanish as it’s spoken in Central & South America, Mexico and the Caribbean.

In this episode, Mauricio tells us about his upbringing between Argentina and Peru. We talk about some of the variations that exist in Spanish including the three geographical “blocks” that share similarities and why Chile and Argentina can be considered outliers to the rest. We talk about the uniqueness of Chilean Spanish and Mauricio gives us some examples for us to hear these variations. He tells us about his career translating for media - including movies and television- and explains some of the changes that technology has made in the field of translations over the course of his career. We also have a chance to learn about some of the things he’s observed about Spanish spoken in the U.S. during this time traveling throughout the country.

Big thank you to Mauricio for this fun conversation and taking us on a journey through Latin America.
