Getting to know Ecuador – Cultural Shocks for Americans

Have you ever traveled to a country with a totally different culture than your own? If so, you probably experienced some cultural shocks.

In this episode of Aprende Español con Latin ELE, we interviewed Andres from Spanish with Andres, who shared with us the things that surprise Americans the most when they visit his home country, Ecuador.

Some of the things that surprised Andres’ American friends were the fact that Ecuadorians eat popcorn for lunch, that they use the US dollar as their currency, and that they have a different way of using the bathroom. But these are just some examples of the many cultural differences that make Ecuador such an interesting and unique place to visit.

If you’re curious to learn more about these cultural differences and the surprises that Americans face when visiting Ecuador, make sure to check out our latest episode. We promise it will be an eye-opening experience that will make you want to grab your passport and book a trip to South America.
