This episode is the first of two parts where I tell you what the expression "dárselas de encachao" means. Technically, it's a verbal expression, but let's not get fome.

And why it matters if you want to sound good — or encachao — in Chilean Spanish. Also because it's at the core of one of the most popular songs you'll hear during Fiestas Patrias, back home in Chilito:

La cueca del Guatón Loyola.

Grab a pen and some paper because this episode is more like a class, and you'll probably want to take a few notes.

Or… You can subscribe to my newsletter chucheta where I tell you how to join my Patreon and also send you emails about how the hell you can get into my Chilean Spanish classes and/or new courses.

Besito.
