Title

A guide to Chilean Spanish

content

Once you've made it to Chile and you've noticed that everyone is chatting 'weones' and 'weas', you might have noticed in the midst of all this lexical confusion that all pronunciation seems to go out the window on the other side of the Andes. Well Yes you're right, it does! Chileans are famed for how quickly they speak, with simple phrases sounding like a gobbledygook of vowels and mumbles to some! Don't worry, you will become accustomed to the speed they speak at very quickly, however make sure to remember that often Chileans will not pronounce the letters 'S' and 'D', particularly common examples of this being 'má' o meno'', and 'pesa'o' .
