Tereré Talks: Part 8. Paraguay is a mixture of surprises when it comes to language.
Yes, they speak Spanish, but Paraguayan Spanish is completely distinct from other South American countries' Spanish. Plus, the second official language of Paraguay is Guarani, the most widely spoken native American language. And on top of that, there's Jopara, which is a mixture of Spanish and Guarani!
To make things stranger, within the foreigner community, sometimes German is more useful than English!
