According to Adriana, reading is one of the most entertaining and educational hobbies that one can acquire, and essential for learning languages. Let's hear about the most recent book she has read and recommends.

Let's hear a creepy urban legend from Guatemala: El Sombrerón, whose protagonist has a very strange fascination.

In Guatemala, people of Mayan descent not only retain various native forms of dress, but they also speak dialects of the Mayan language, a language many people wrongly presume to be long lost to history. Rafael treats us to some examples of words and phrases in this language, and also explains some of the particulars of traditional dress.

Our friend, Rafael, returns this week to talk to us about his homeland and its culture. As he explains, the Mayan culture continues to thrive in Guatemala via its language, clothing, and customs.
