Step into the rich world of Spanish language and culture with The Macondo Man, a podcast designed especially for English speakers who are learning Spanish. Hosted by Jeff, a passionate tutor and storyteller, this podcast brings fascinating words, anecdotes, and traditions from Spanish-speaking countries straight to your ears.

In the latest episode, we dive into the intriguing concept of "la ñapa"—a small extra gift or bonus rooted in generosity and community, common in countries like Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, and more. Learn about its fascinating origin from the Quechua word yapa ("something added") and discover its cultural significance, including modern uses and humorous anecdotes.

Whether you're a language learner or simply curious about the Spanish-speaking world, The Macondo Man is the perfect blend of fun and learning. Tune in for stories, insights, and practical tips that will enrich both your vocabulary and cultural understanding.
