Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! Today, we have another great edition of our Peruvian Spanish Series. Today’s lesson focuses on expressions of origin, that is, on ways of telling someone where you’re from. In today’s lesson, Beatriz and Joseph talk about Chincha, a costal city south of Lima, renown for its food and friendly people. Have you ever eaten “manchapecho”?! Chincha is the best place to try it. In fact, most “chichanos” (people from Chincha) might say that it’s the ONLY place to try it! Be sure to compare this lesson with Newbie Lesson #7 - I’m Argentine. I’m American. Also, be sure to keep your eyes open for an Iberian Spanish Lesson that references both Newbie #7 and Peruvian #7. By comparing these lessons, you’ll be able to broaden your understanding of the Spanish language. ¡Suelta la lengua con SpanishPod101.com!

Has anyone ever seen the famous “zapateo” that’s danced in Chincha or El Carmen? It’s amazing! The “zapateo” is a kind of “tap dancing”, made famous by Afro-Peruvians and now renown in the modern day Creole culture.
I love the idea you all have newbie, beginner and regional side by side everyday. I am so glad and happy there is no more audio blog.
Waterman,
Glad to see you’re still around! Yes, we’ll be publishing more Regional Lessons from now on, with one Audio Blog on Sundays… We’re also talking about coming out with an Audio Blog for Beginners. Is this something that would interest you? If so, what would you like to see in it? Thanks for you help!
Best,
Joseph
