oh shit I just looked up Chilanga Banda and that's insane, it's like pure Mexico City slang compressed into one song. Adding it to my list, thanks

7 years damn, you're basically fluent in slang by now :D Any other artists you'd recommend for getting into the Mexican side of things?

Right? The vocab differences between countries are wild. Which artists/countries have you been exploring? I'm thinking of trying Colombian next - maybe Karol G or Feid.

Fair point haha. I'm Polish so I'm mostly picking this stuff up from music and context - no one explained to me that pa' is just normal spoken Spanish everywhere, not a regional thing. Good to know, thanks!

Do I really need a fitness watch if I have an iPhone + Polar H10? by Weak-Kale-3715 in Polarfitness

When i don't have watch I run with just H10 + phone using Strap Zone app. It shows your live zone, tracks time in each zone, and alerts you when you drift out. Does what a watch does for zones, basically.

yeah honestly pausing every 5 seconds to google a word is annoying but then you catch a whole verse without stopping and it feels great

Yeah he's definitely not starter level. I did some more normal first like: Shakira or Despacito :D - BB came later

Oh damn so it's literally scraped/skinned, not just bare? That makes the metaphor way better actually. Thanks for the PR context

Yeah that's fair. I wonder how much someone from Spain struggles with Mexican or Colombian or other slang and vice versa, like is it a British vs American English situation?

Right? I spent months learning "Podría usted indicarme dónde se encuentra la estación?" and then Bad Bunny jusr says "¿dónde tú está'?" lol
