The book I’m working on (and that will remain unnamed for fear of attracting spam) contains a lot of really fun Spanish slang. I realized, though, that I’m entirely unfamiliar with Spanish slang. I’m very good with Latin American slang (especially from Argentina, the Caribbean and Mexico) but my Spain Spanish is very prim and proper. The reason is that the only Spaniards I know are academics who speak the beautiful, correct and polite version of the language.

Suprise? Equatorial Guinea! ” In Equatorial Guinea, the Spanish, French, and Portuguese languages all hold official status at the national level, though Spanish is the primary language in the public sphere and several Bantu languages are used at home and family settings.”
