Spanish Slang Ecuador new book to be released

9 years ago

When I first arrived in Ecuador around November 15th or so of 1980, I had a pretty good grasp of basic Spanish and I was 24 years old. What surprised me after having been both in Quito and Guayaquil was how many words and phrases I had no idea existed in the Spanish lexicon.

I also had no idea that I would meet and fall in love with an Ecuadorian on my first day in Guayaquil although I had a premonition that my destiny lie in Ecuador. Well, falling in love with someone from another country clearly motivated to gain a deeper grasp of the language. That is when I took out a little black notebook and started jotting down all the unique words and phrases that I heard and that made no sense to me.

Through the years studying these words and phrases and learning more all the time, I have put them into a collection for any of those wanting to know more about the Spanish language in Ecuador. It is now available for pre-order on Amazon for the Kindle. There are over 2000 entries of which many I think you will find interesting. There are also terms that some may find offensive and not politically correct. Anyhow, I hope you will be entertained and gain a stronger knowledge about the culture of Ecuador. It is from a my heart and I had to visit a lot of bars to accumulate this lexicon.

If you don't have a Kindle, Amazon does provide free apps to read on almost any device.

I hope this helps you in your study of the Spanish language in Ecuador.

Preorder - release date June 1
