Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! Wait, Spanish is spoken differently in Peru? Join Joe and Bea as they ask the question, “How might the conversation sound in Peru?” This is the place to find out! In this lesson, you’ll learn about the Peruvian Capital, Lima, the biggest city in the country and the once viceregal Spanish capital. Today, Lima is the home to nearly 1/3 of Peru’s population. The recent migration which has given rise to this phenomenon has resulted in a diverse form of Spanish, spoken by inhabitants who have come to Lima from all over the country. Listen in and see what Peruvian Spanish sounds like! ¡Aprendan con nosotros! Don’t forget to cross reference this lesson with Iberian 4 and Costa Rican 4 for an even deeper understanding!

I imagine that “¡anda!” is said in other countries as well. I’ve also heard “¡vaya!”, which is Iberian, right? Can anyone offer any other variations on these?
I find it interesting that in Spanish and English, we use expressions like “go on!” to show disbelief. I’m not quite sure if I understand it as “get out of here!” or “keep lying!”. What do you think?
