Sobre este título
Where do names come from, and most importantly, where do country names come from? Usually, they have some sort of historic link with tribes who already lived there, with a great historic figure, or simply as a description of something that explorers saw. But in Latin America, quite a few names were given due to transcription or translation errors, such as "Costa Rica" being literally from the explorers noting "this coast looks rich, let's come back and plunder it".
Yes, country names can carry quite a funny history, and Latin America is a good example - but there's more than just humor in this week's episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast... you are about to learn a lot of fascinating history, and finally get the grasp of why Venezuela is based off a beautiful European city, why Honduras is actually a 'deep' country, and what the "guay" means in Paraguay and Uruguay.
Enjoy the episode, and don't forget to subscribe!
