Episode description

This fourth season of Simple Stories in Spanish is focusing on celebrations. In the last 70 years, Panama has made a big effort to preserve its past. One way to remember the customs of the past and ensure their existence in the future is to create celebrations centered around them. Thus we find celebrations about agriculture, greetings and even clothing throughout the country of Panamá. 

This story is told in the the present and past tenses. Repeated words and phrases include “costumbres” (customs), “artesanías” (crafts), “ropa” (clothing), “concursos” (competitions), and “alrededor” (around/surrounding). No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way.
