"coger" means fuck in latin america, but not in Spain where we use it as "grab/pick" normally. It causes fun reactions to latinamericans visiting or living in Spain for sure as it's used a lot.

"correr" is also "run" in Spanish, we share a lot of words with Portuguese . ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น

that's what i'm suffering at the moment. learning spanish with pop songs was a mistake :')

tell me you're not learning with Shakira songs.. native speakers can barely understand her ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜

even worse(in the sense of lyrics). it's maluma, guaynaa and the likes.
fortunately, I've been leaning more towards enrique iglesias, catlos vives, etc. lately.
but I'm always open to recommendations if you got some :)

I'm not sure if it's your style, but search for Extremoduro or Estopa. I'll link something later if I remember

[โ€“] lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

I'll surely check them out. thanks!

Try Raphael (classic) and Pablo Alboran. Both have easy to understand lyrics and it's mostly pleasant pop.

For something more artsy try El Kanka. Great lyrics, more poetic with lots of word play but generally also easy to understand.

On the other hand I have no idea what Extremoduro songs are about.
