Once upon a time in Panama
In 2006, I lived and worked in Panama and so it became a priority to learn Spanish. On weekends, I’d visit a friend on his farm in the Panamanian countryside, and this scarecrow would always catch my attention. And yet, try as I might, I could never seem to remember the Spanish word for it.
It’s espantapájaros. (Here’s how you pronounce it.) Go on, say it out loud yourself!
It’s a hard word, right?
