My name is Sheri Summers, and I live in Panama where Spanish shows up all around me every day: on signs, doors, menus, labels, packages, shops, and everyday errands.

And here’s what I’ve noticed.

Spanish can look confusing at first, but sometimes there are little clues hiding in plain sight. Once you learn how to look for them, you may be surprised by how much you can figure out.

I’ll show you what it means, how to think about it, and how to recognize it if you see it again.

No pressure. No grammar overwhelm. Just small, useful Spanish discoveries to help you feel a little more confident, one clue at a time.

Example: If you see leche entera, you may already know leche means milk. Then we’ll look for the clue in entera together.
