El Carnaval de Guaranda
This fourth season of Simple Stories in Spanish is focusing on celebrations. Many countries celebrate Carnaval and they all have their own twist. In a previous episode, I told the story of Carnaval en la República Dominicana. Today I will tell the story of Carnaval en Guaranda, Ecuador. Like the Carnaval Dominicano, El Carnaval de Guaranda combines indigenous culture with European influence to create a truly unique celebration. This story is told in the the present and past tenses. Repeated words and phrases include “desfile” (parade), “maíz” (corn), “divertido” (fun), “divertirse” (to have fun), and “ropa” (clothing). No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. You can find a transcript of the story and read along at smalltownspanishteacher.com.
