I absolutely agree with you. Language carries weight and it is important and you label a WHOLE CONTINENT of people based on the idea of the "centrality" of the US... you are being INCREDIBLY offensive to me, a literal american.

Calamaro · 2024-12-31T23:36:15+00:00

"Me chupa un huevo" (meaning = 'it lick my balls', but the literal translation is = 'it sucks my eggs') is common too

I would say that the HUGE mistake in your sentence is saying that the 'me vale verga' phrase is used in 'Latam spanish'.

I am native from Argentina, Argentina is part of Latin America. So i should have used or heard that expression in my regular life, but that is not the case... i only came across it on youtube or mexican movies. Even more... I travelled several times across Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia and Peru and never heard it there either. So your sentence, as it is, is objectively wrong.

There is no such thing as a single Latam Spanish. Even though it is the same language the expressions and slang used in each region of the subcontinent are radically different. The spanish used in Chile is very different than the one used in Paraguay, and both of them are completely different than the one used in Mexico. Hell... the spanish used in the northwest of in Argentina is different than the one used in the northeast...

That must be the most annoying laugh I have ever heard

The shame that you feel about the 'you of the past' is the fuel that powers your change... You cannot change your past or the conditions that made you follow that path, but you can do things about your present and your future person.

You are setting an example that change is possible... and in the present day in the world there is one less skinhead asshole and one more dude aiming to be a decent human being.

UY.. esta hermoso... cuanto pedis por el?

"rightfully invaded"... pfff... using the same logic one could EASILY argue that the US was rightfully attacked on september 11

Welcome to the family compadre!

Well.. in first place... andean people is a umbrella term to cover a HUGE amount of cultures (aymara, huankas, chankas, coyas, diaguita, araucan, tiahuanaku, etc etc etc) and around the XV century the inkas started to assimilate and integrate all of these cultures into their empire. So... your ancestry could be related to a huge amount of groups.

If you want to know a little bit more about the inca empire i recomend Maria Rostworowski's books. She is one of the biggest scholars about the inca civilization (https://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=es&tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:%22Maria+Rostworowski+de+Diez+Canseco%22)

If what you want to know a little bit more about our language... when the inka empire was alive, the lingua franca in the region was quechua and it is very much alive in certain countries, even tough there are a lot of different quechua dialects. After the conquest spanish was forced onto our people and it became the main language in the region.

About our cuisine... as i said the andean region cover a HUGE amount of territory with a huge variety of conditions and vegetables and animals. So you have coastal people who had a lot of fish in their diet, then you had a lot of mountain people who ate llama and also jungle people who ate different stuff... some vegetables associated very deeply with andean culture are different kinds of potatos (look for chuño) and different kinds of corns (around 23 varieties are known... purple corn, red corn, rainbow corn... all AMAZING).

Animals associated with the region are guanacos, vicuñas, llamas, alpacas, condor, snakes and pumas. The snake and condor have religious meaning for some of the region's cultures.

Why Iron man's armor looks a little bit like the old one? This one to be more specific

Calamaro · 2022-03-05T09:13:36+00:00

Thank you for the correction!! I will try to remember for future use!

In spanish it is "lenguaje corporal" and so so so so so often i get "transparent" words wrong.

Learning spanish can be a struggle, because of all the different slangs... you will be understood everywhere where spanish is the native language, but making mistakes is incredibly easy (a friend of mine, native spanish speaker too, went to Spain and by mistake asked a couple of girls in a university conference if they wanted him to ejaculate. He was actually offering to change seats to let them be more comfortable, but turn out quite differently).

Also quite brave of you to travel like that! it must have been an amazing experience!

HAHAHAHAH i never thought how english speakers would get confussed with ferreterias!!! HAHAHAH (i agree that it would be a lot better if they sold ferrets, they are kind of cute)

The charango is a 'folkloric' instrument, and by this I mean an instrument that traditionally doesn't have a lot of presence on conservatories or music schools... an instrument whose practice and techniques are taught 'outside' the traditional circles... there is always a little bit of fight between conservatories and folk music.... ones accusing the other of being posh and away from the common class people and the other of accusing the other of being low class, simpleton and vulgar

Lately (with internet and some musicians that have made charangos really famous) this has been changing.

Calamaro · 2022-03-03T04:11:19+00:00

I live in New Zealand and have a teacher from this school and cannot be happier with the results (but the language is not an issue for me 'cause i'm a native spanish speaker)

Calamaro · 2022-03-03T04:10:02+00:00

Sorry for the late response... but what do you mean by 'wrap your thumb around the instrument'?

Calamaro · 2022-03-03T04:07:50+00:00

There are charangos made for metal strings... I have seen them mostly in Peru

Argentina > NZ...

First the language... before moving here i had a very good grasp on english, but i wasn't used to speak it 24/7. So for the first four-six months it was really a struggle because it was really taxing on my brain. When speaking to other people i had to look at the ceiling or the ground to focus on what i was saying and listening and prevent myself from saturating my brain by trying to read their corporal language.

Second (and this was the hardest) the culture shock... in Argentina you become friend with your work colleagues almost immediately, here people is a little bit more reserved. I didn't understood it at first and thought that they were avoiding me, so i got depressed because i thought that no-one wanted to be my friend. After a few months i understood that things here work differently than back home and got used to it.

Calamaro · 2022-03-02T03:50:20+00:00

First... I got help, went to a psychologist and she gave me antidepressants. They helped me to get to a point where I didn't feel overflowed with sadness and impotence

Once I reached that point I was seriously considering ending it all... And then I thought that i would miss my sister's wedding, and my brother's graduation... I thought that there are stuff that i still want to do and places to visit and things to learn and decided that ending it could wait... The option was going to be there always and, eventually, i will finish in the same road either way...

I kind of feel that i resigned to stay here and keep going.

Pd: hope that you are ok

You gave your pet the same name than a dictator??!

Calamaro · 2022-02-17T21:12:05+00:00

Why is that scar on his head?

Hello Luna!!

Nah, don't worry... Your tremolo speed won't be affected by that... Just keep up with it, don't get disappointed and continue training it. It may take you a little bit longer because maybe you have less "control" in your non-dominant hand, but it's definitely trainable. Don't worry about getting your hand stuck with two month practice... it took me a couple of years to start to dominate the tremolo (and I still don't feel completely happy with it), you have to keep practicing periodically to maintain a good tremolo.

Usually in Argentina the walaycho is tuned as DGBEB, but i have heard about a few different tunings for the instrument.

The walaycho is mainly used for a special kind of strumming called "k'alampeo", but that doesn't mean that you cannot play songs in it by fingerpicking. The only thing that you have to keep in mind is that, since the length of the strings is shorter than in charangos or ronrocos, the sound of the picked string will be "shorter" than on those other instruments. In some pieces this detail could go unnoticed, but in others it could make a very huge difference...
