    25. Barbecue and Puerto Rican Spanish | Raquel Montañez-González part 3 of 3

    The word “barbecue” came into English from Spanish —barbacoa— BUT it is not originally from Spanish either. Enter the Taino, the native inhabitants of Puerto Rico. Let’s talk about the Spanish language in Puerto Rico and we’ll end the episode with the most Puerto Rican of all Spanish words —although, it’s not a safe word to say in all environments! This episode is part 3 of my conversation with Raquel Montañez-González, Ph.D., born and raised in Puerto Rico and currently a Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor at University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA. Raquel is also a science communicator hosting and co-producing the Spanish version of Tiny Vampires Podcast. http://www.tinyvampires.com/ Besides talking about Spanish as a language, we’ll also go over the stereotypical Puerto Rican: kind, loud, expressive, good cooks, good dancers, aggressive drivers. And Raquel confesses she’s all of that —proudly! ¡Muchísimas gracias, Raquel!

    24. Puerto Rico, part of the US or part of Latin America? | Raquel Montañez-González part 2 of 3

    Puerto Rico has never been independent in modern history —except for a couple of months; yes, just a handful. It went from being controlled by Spain to being controlled by the United States of America. In the present, this means that Puerto Ricans live under the influence of two major cultures —or three? maybe four?-- and two major languages: English and Spanish. This episode is part 2 of my conversation with Raquel Montañez-González, Ph.D., born and raised in Puerto Rico and currently a Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor at University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA. Raquel is also a science communicator hosting and co-producing the Spanish version of Tiny Vampires Podcast. http://www.tinyvampires.com/ We talk about Puerto Rican migrants to the US, whether Puerto Ricans feel part of Latin America, music, cooking, and more. In part 3 we’ll talk about the particularities of Spanish in Puerto Rico and other cultural aspects, such as the Puerto Rican “personality.” ¡Gracias, Raquel!

    23. Spanish in science, and a vampire | Raquel Montañez-González part 1 of 3

    What this state and relevance of the Spanish language in science? ‘Tiny Vampires’ vs. ‘Vampiritos’, what sounds better to you? This episode is part 1 of my conversation with Raquel Montañez-González, Ph.D., born and raised in Puerto Rico and currently a Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor at University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA. Raquel is also a science communicator hosting and co-producing the Spanish version of Tiny Vampires Podcast. http://www.tinyvampires.com/ We talk about the purpose of the podcast, Spanish language and science, SACNAS —the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science—, and the difference between Spanish and Portuguese last names that look very, very similar: e.g. Fernández vs Fernandes. In part 2 we will talk about Puerto Rico as a country and the results —and current feel— of its very particular history. And in part 3 we’ll talk about the particularities of Spanish in Puerto Rico and other cultural aspects, such as the Puerto Rican “personality.” ¡Gracias, Raquel!

    22. The last sound kids learn in Spanish | Hanne Evhammar part 3 of 3

    Hint: Swedish and Spanish share that sound! Also, the ‘invisibility’ of Central America, the general geography of the Spanish-speaking world, what is Chilango, the biggest historical figures in the Spanish world, the most famous current showbiz figures of the Spanish world (reggaeton, anyone?). This is part 3 of my conversation with my guest from Sweden. Useful, curious, and funny things related to the Spanish language and culture come up in this series of conversations with people who are not from a Spanish-speaking country. And, at the same time, we also learn useful, curious, and funny things about how the Spanish language and culture are seen from the outside. Hanne Evhammar left her hometown of Stockholm over five years ago and has since been living in London. Currently she works for Acamar Films, producers of Bing —an international award-winning animated series—, and interestingly enough that’s where our paths meet. At the end of this episode in particular we talk about the challenge of translating and dubbing that show into Latin American Spanish. ¡Muchísimas gracias, Hanne! --- Spanish We Do is hosted by José Erre and it's a production of SpanishWeDo.com; a translation and localization team for text, subtitles and voice-over from English into Spanish and Spanish into English.

    What are the Spanish variations? Are Latin American laughter and Spaniard laughter the same? Hint: No! Home many native speakers of Spanish in the world?
