As part of the Matador Twitter contest, we will be spotlighting cool gear we’ll be giving away to lucky readers.
Sure, learning a language can get you closer to a culture, but mastering its local lingo can speedtrack you right into its heart.
That’s what the Speaking Boricua! series accomplishes.
Penned by Jared Romey, an American expat who has lived in Chile, Argentina, and Puerto Rico; Jared has compiled the unique words and phrases of Puerto Rican Spanish into two books which we will be giving away.
We will pick two winners and both winners will receive copies of the following books: Speaking Boricua! (Puerto Rico) and Speaking Phrases Boricua! (Puerto Rico).
Be sure to check out Matador review’s of Speaking Boricua! (Parts One & Two) as well as Jared’s 6 Tips for Sounding Like a Local.
AND THE WINNERS ARE…
@photogjenn and @catauskali.
We’ll be contacting them directly to send them copies of the books.

Me too; it’s my main concern with starting Spanish class in two weeks.

I inadvertently insulted my boyfriend’s grandmother in Ecuador when I addressed her with the informal you instead of the formal. That’s what happens when it’s been 8 years since your last Spanish class and you haven’t used it since!

This is an absolutely amazing giveaway! I would give these two books to my nephews, so they are able to start learning some spanish. You can never start too early!

Once when in Germany I was explaining that I lived on a farm, and wanted to tell my friend’s little brother he could “feed” horses there… but I ended up telling him that he could “eat” horses. Oops! He was a little shocked.

Trying to explain to people who tries to speak with me in Spanish that since I’m from Brasil I actually speak portuguese!
Please! I don’t use “Holla que tal?” or “gracias”!↵
