Have you ever heard the expression “guay del Paraguay”?

You probably know quite a lot about Spain, Mexico or Argentina.

But what do you know about Paraguay?

Since I moved here I keep running into words, customs and situations that make me think:

¡Hala! ¡Qué dices! Is that how it works in Paraguay?

And that is exactly what I share in my newsletter.

Every week I tell you a true story about Paraguay, so you get a small moment of Spanish in your life while you discover another culture, learn expressions people really use and question some things you may also have considered “normal”.

Or that you had never questioned before (I tell you about a few below).
