Colombian accents, culture, identity & teaching Spanish online
🎙️ In this episode, I sit down with Mely (@charlemos_in_spanish), a Colombian Spanish teacher, content creator, and entrepreneur with a powerful story and a lot of sabor.
Mely is from Colombia’s Pacific region and brings a unique perspective on language, culture, and identity. We talk about Colombian accents (paisa, caleño, Pacific coast), salsa, reggaeton, and how music, rhythm, and culture shape the way Spanish sounds and feels.
This conversation is relaxed, honest, funny, and full of cultural insights — not just about Colombia, but about language, teaching, and staying true to who you are.
I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it 🙌
