Top 5 Spanish Lessons: Que Delicioso!

Latin American and Spanish food are as varied and diverse as they are delicious – personally, my reason for studying and speaking Spanish!  Afterall, taking Spanish lessons is great and all, but when you’re not speaking and hitting the books, you have to enjoy yourself sometimes, right?   If you haven’t tried these delicious dishes, we recommend you do! 

If you are a meat lover, you should try “churrasco”, which in Latin America means “grilled meat”, and Argentinians are known for their love of savory steaks.

If you want a taste of Caribbean food, venture into Puerto Rico’s “mofongo,” a delicious dish of fried plantains and pork rinds, vegetables, meat, or seafood.

Another typical Latin American cuisine,the unique technique of curing seafood with citrus juice rather than heat, ceviche, is also very delicious, invented in Peru and elevated to an art form.

And while it’s difficult to pick one dish that represents the diversity and complexity of Spanish {cuisine|cooking|food|culture}, we recommend paella, the short-grain rice dish flavored with saffron. The classic paella of Valencia is made with escargot, meat, and vegetables. Other popular versions are made with seafood or with meat and seafood.

Another very typical and accessible dish are Mexican tacos. There are different types, but we will feature los tacos al pastor, meaning “shepherd-style tacos,” made from pork that’s been marinated with spices and roasted with a hint of pineapple, making the meat tender and juicy.

Que delicioso! (How delicious!)
Venture into trying these delicious Latin dishes, and tell us which was your favorite! You will surely not be dissappointed!

In par with the culture, festivals and holidays in the Spanish-speaking worldare fascinating and lively!

So maybe this stuff makes sense but when you hear ACTUAL Spanish you realize you stillneed more help than just this?  One of the best places for learning Spanish is a free podcast called SpanishPod101.com where you can download audio Spanish lessons for free!  Give it a shot and good luck with Spanish in the future!
