From Website

My name is Eleena (Elena in Spanish) and I’m so glad you’re here right now, reading my blog. Thanks!

So, what would you like to know? Well, I’m an American and I’m a Spanish fanatic. Say it loud, say it proud! I found religion, the Spanish religion that is, a few years ago during a trip to South America when I fell completely head over heels for the language. It wasn’t my first trip overseas but it was a life-changing one that made me realize how much I wanted to spend my life studying and learning Spanish.

Voices en Español is a blog and a podcast. That’s the short version. The long version is Voices en Español is a place to evangelize the Spanish language. It will be a place with tips on learning the language as well as musings on different topics and interviews with fascinating people from all walks of life in the U.S., Latin America, and, of course, Spain.

Things to remember:

I’m not a native Spanish speaker, so be gentle with me. I’m a work in progress!

If there is a particular topic related to the Spanish language that you would like to see addressed, drop me a line. Ditto for people you’d like to hear interviewed.

Communication is good. Two-way communication is even better! Leave comments on this blog, link to and/or forward my posts, email me, whatever. Just don’t be a stranger!

¡Hasta luego!

Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink

The south of Spain is an extremely arid region, so much so that it’s well on its way to becoming a desert, according to some climatologists. The financial stakes keep rising as Spanish farmers and land developers battle it out over water rights. As a result, water and water conservation are hot button issues [...]

Watch your step! The confusing minefield of swearwords and insults in Spanish

By Veronica PamoukaglianSpanish is a unique language known for its variations, not only in pronunciation but also in its lexicon and grammar. So much so that at times it can get rather complicated for a native Spanish speaker who travels to another Spanish-speaking country to speak the way he normally would en casa. In case [...]

Is it a repository of info with tips and suggestions? Is it a corporate branding tool? Thanks to the almost non-existent barrier to entry, today anyone with [...]
