Ep. 5 — Telenovela Spanish Class: "An Indian CEO in Mexico?!"
In this powerful Telenovela Spanish Class, Profe Levi breaks down a dramatic scene from La Rosa de Guadalupe — where a man says: “¿Es una broma, cierto?

In this episode, you’ll learn: 💬 What “licenciado” really means in Mexico (and why it’s not just “lawyer”) ⚡ The difference between indio, prieto, and de piel morena — and why tone matters 🧠 How racism, class, and identity show up linguistically in everyday Spanish 🎧 How to listen emotionally — not just translate words — to understand true meaning and attitude This is real-world Spanish meets real-life culture — the kind of lesson that turns learners into bilingual badasses. 🎙️ Listen now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.
