I am glad that I chose the oportunity to go to an university where no other german or european students studied while I was there. This was clue to proceed in learning the language that well and fast as I have done. The chilean people are not considerate of the fact that you cannot follow them. They do not speak slowlier or pronounce better, but they are glad when you speak a bit spanish and they offer you help in every ocasion.

No one ever talked about Chilean slang or pronunciation before my trip. Modismos (slang)are out of control. Prepare to hear "huevon" and "cachai" all the time. Also Chileans cut off the ends of many words, so that can be a struggle. You get used to it after a while, but it can be shocking and tough at first.
