🌎 Mauricio’s upbringing between Argentina and Peru, and how this duality shaped his understanding of Spanish.

🌎 The three geographical blocks of Spanish-speaking regions and why Chile and Argentina are considered linguistic outliers.

🌎 The unique characteristics of Chilean Spanish and how Mauricio navigates these differences in his translation work.
