Coffee Creek Spanish Travel Diaries Season 2, Episode 10. Hello, and welcome to Coffee Break Spanish. I'm Mark. And I'm Marina. Well, I go for the last episode. But only for this series. This is the last episode of the series.

We've been traveling through South America with Ainoa, Esteban and Luisa. And they are on their final leg of the journey in Santiago de Chile. We've come some distance, Marina. Yes. It's being a long journey and it's coming to an end, but it's just for this journey. We will have more, I'm sure. More journeys, more journeys soon. So we started in Lima and then went all the way through some of the most famous parts of Peru, Cusco.

And we also then went to Macho Pichu. Then we went to Lake Titicaca, traveled into Bolivia, into La Paz, Cochabamba, and then we moved on to Chile. And last time we were in the Serena, and today we're heading to Santiago. So, as we're going to Santiago. So, as soon, we'll hear him. And then, Marina and I, we'll, we'll be the grammatica and the vocabularial of the text. And we're hoping that this text of today, this, ultimate text of this series. Well, we'll start. Our ultimate parada had to be the capital of Chile, for support.

and offer a multitude of things to do and see. I think that for our last day, also was the most agitreated. Visit us the Cerro of Santa Lucia, a precious place in the center of Santiago, and the Plaza of Arms, where there were many monuments to be. What most me interested was the Casa Colorado,

one of the few constructions coloniales that kept on foot. Before to prove the plato the kind of the Charkikhan or

the Chorillana, we're we pass us the Museum of the Memory and the Rights

Human. More we're we're we we visit us other

garden Japanese, we also we're we're we back

to the barrio Beavista where we visit us rapidly the

Chascona the house that pertenecio to Pablo Neruda. We're tening and and having pisco and probing other things typical as the motte with whesillos. When Louisa was a little content, we

confessed that she had passed very well. No could we're going to more of accord. That had been the voyage of my life, not only for the company and for all what I visited,

but for all what I learned. I'd like to repeat. Okay, let's go through

this final text and we'll see exactly what they got up to in Santiago. Our ultimate

parada had to be the capital of Chile, for supposed, and

I'd and I had a multitude of things to do and see.

Okay, our final stop. Our ultimate parada, it had to be the capital of Chile, for sure,

had to be the capital of Chile, of course, for sure. And it offered a multitude of things, and it offered a multitude of things, a huge number of things to do and to

see, para act, and we've spoken about this to do or what to do and so on many times. So here we've got lots of things that we could see, a range of things to see, not necessarily that we had to see them all.

I think that for our last day also was the most ageteer Okay. I think for to be our last year. This is interesting. This use of para here.

I think we could see in English. I believe that for this being our final day also was the most agitreated. the most busy one, the busiest one. However, Marina, this para, could we almost translate that as despite?

Yes, we could because it has that sense, like, despite being our last day, it was also the busiest one. Yeah, good. So if we, normally to say despite, we would say, a peser de que. Yes, we could change that and say, a peter, we're our

last day, also the most agetreado. Okay, so here you're conjugating the

verb, a peser to be our our ultimate too. Yes,

we could say a past to be our last day. Okay,

so lots of options, but that's what that para is doing there. The para is not really

a normal para in that sense. We've got a slightly different meaning of it here.

Good. And agetreado is a tricky word to see. But it's quite simple in meaning. Yes, the busy. It's a busy day. The busiest is the most agitreated. Okay, so what did they do? Visit them of Santa Lucia, a precious

place in the center of Santiago, and the Plaza of Arms, where there many

many monuments to see. Okay, so they went to sea, visit us the Cerro

of Santa Lucia. Cerro is like a mountain. Yeah, a mountaina, and it's C-E-R-O.

So in Spain, Spanish, we're pronouncing that as Cerro, but if you are more used to Latin American Spanish, and of course you would hear

the Serro of Santa Lucia. Visit us the Serro of Santa Lucia. We would say, visit us the Cerro of Santa Lucia. And it's described as a precious place in the center of Santiago. It's actually quite a great sentence for practicing. Spain and Latin American pronunciation here.

Visit us el the serro of Santa Lucia, a precious a placeuio of Santhiago. Wow. And the place of the arms, too. Very good. Yes, and this is indeed a very nice place to visit because it's full of, you have like a natural place full of trees and

plants and everything in the middle of the city. So it's like in the center avenue of the city and you have this nice place. It has even a castle in there. Wow. Very good. Okay. And the Plaza of the Arms, where there were so they also visited the Plaza of the of the arms where there were many monuments to see. What most me interested was the Casa Colorado. One of the few constructions coloniales

that was in the key. Okay, so the thing that most interested me, what most me interested me, was La Casa Colorado. It was the colored house, La Casa Colorado.

And it's one of the few colonial constructions, which is still standing. So one of the most constructions coloniales that kept in foot. And one interesting thing about this word, Colorado, is another word to say the color red. Ah, okay. So we use that either in Latin American Spanish

and Spain Spanish, is not very frequent. Maybe you can hear an older person saying Colorado, or if you blush, if you are embarrassed for something, you can say, se puso colorado instead of se puso rojo. Right, that is definitely new to me. Okay, so this, so it's basically that it's colored red, this house. Yes.

Okay. Right, and it's a colonial construction, and it quedava in pi. And there we've got Kedar. We spoke about Kedar a few episodes ago. It's one of the few colonial constructions. which was left standing, which is still standing, that was still standing, that was in-pye.

Before to prove those platos typical, like the Charquican or the Chorriyana, we'll pass us pasting for the Museum of the Memory and of the Rights Human. Okay, so before trying some platos-tipicos, some typical dishes or local dishes, and we'll come back to those in a moment, we passed

for the Museum of the Memory and the Rights Human Rights So we walked around the Museum of Memory and Human Rights so a very important

museum in Santiago let's come back to these typical dishes, the plato typical dishes the local dishes. The Charquikan, what is? The Charquikan

Chile is a traditional that is a traditional that's prepared with with with, normally

of a and has various forms of prepared depending of the vegetables

and the foodas can serve with a with a web frito okay

so a dish of meat it's prepared in different ways and it can also be served with a fried egg

and we also have Chorriyana or it's also called Lomo a Chorriana or

Chorrejana so it has different things. And it's basically fried chips or potatoes with different types of meat. And onion and it's like a mixed. A mix. Okay. Very well. And of course the museum

of the Museum of the Memorial and the Derexos Human is a museum dedicated to commemorate the victims of the human rights violations during the regime in the 70s and ladies. Okay, we're going to stop there for a little break and we'll be back very soon to finish off our text. We wanted to let you know that there's a premium version of the travel diaries course and this includes a set of lesson notes where you'll be able to read the text from each of the

diaries and work through the vocabulary and any explanations that we've provided. There's also a video version of the text where we've left space for you to repeat the words and phrases used giving you an opportunity to practice your speaking and your pronunciation. For more information about this, head to coffeebreakacademy.com. Okay, we are in Santiago and we are just heading further into the city. We're adentramos more in the city. Yes. More tard, we subimos to the Cerro of San Cristobal and visit another garden

Japanese, Tampocco no defraudu. Okay, more later on, we went up to the hill of

San Cristobal, St. Christopher, and we visited another Japanese Japanese garden. And this next bit is interesting.

Tampoko us defraudor. Now, let's split this up. Let's first of all look at the verb defraudar. Defraudar

looks like to defraud. When you cheat someone out of something or to evade something and it can mean that. However here it means something different because when you talk about something

defraudar it can mean to disappoint or to let someone down so here in comparison to the previous Hardin Japanese in La Serena this one didn't disappoint either

that's her Tampoko there it didn't let us down either It was as impressive as the previous one. That's it. That's very clear. Okay. Could you give us an example of defraudar in its other meaning? Yes.

For example, if we're talking about cheating with money, for example, you're evading paying taxes. You can say, my companion de Piso, a defraudado to A Acienda. Right. So my companiona de Piso, my flatmate, a defraudado. And then what did you say? A-A-A-A-A-Sienda. So... He's not paying his taxes.

Yeah, okay, good. So that's an example of defraud that in the sense of defrauding. So you're evading your payment of taxis. Okay, let's continue on. A continuation, we're back-a-briamos where we sitamously the Chascona,

the house that pertenecio to Pablo Neruda. Okay, a continuation, next on our visit list, we've gone to the Barrio Beavista,

so we went down into the Beja Vista area, the bario, where we visited quickly, or we had a quick visit of, La Chascona, and La Chascona

is described as the house that pertinecio to Pablo Neruda. So it's the house that belonged to the poet Pablo Neruda. Terminamos, cenando and beviento, and probing other

things typical, like the mote with whesillos. Okay, so terminamos, we ended up, cenando, having dinner, and drinking pisco, and probing other other typical drinks, or again

local drinks, like the motte with guesillos. Marina, another again, you can't explain? Yes,

well, the motte is a very bit traditional that is an alcoholic, is traditional

Chilean and is made a base of a sugarmelado of durazno as

they're they're in Spain we know we're melocotone

Right, okay so it's a non-alcoholic drink made from a juice of peach basically melanchotone is

peach and you said that in Chile they refer to the melocoton as durazno turasno okay and the weizillos part are turasnos desidratados

that are left at the bottom and they look like little bones so they are called weasillos little bones I see right so these are the dried peaches that are left at the bottom

and they take on the appearance of little bones, whizillos. Very good. When Luisa was a little contenta us confessed that she was it was a lot had passed very well.

Okay, so when she was a little merry, tipsy us, she confessed to us that she had had a really great great, time and there's a blue perfect tense, that's a plough perfect tense, that's it, I know how we're pasted

very well. Okay, no we'd be more to agree. That he had been the voyage of my life, not only for the company,

and for all what visited, but for all what I've me'd want to repeat. Okay, no we could not be

any more in agreement. So, to be in agreement and here estar more de accord, we couldn't agree anymore. That one there, as in this journey that they've just been on, that journey had been the journey of my life, the voyage of my life.

Not only for the company and for all what I visited, not only for the company and everything that I visited, but for all what I learned but for everything that I learned for all what I

learned. I'd like to repeat the whole thing. Well, we're just going to have another listen to the text now and hopefully all the things

that we've discussed in this episode have helped you understand it. Let's listen again. Our last part had to be the capital of Chile, for supposed, and he offered a multitude of

things to do and see. I think that for our last day, also was the massagetreated. Visit us the
