This series is based on an interview with Francisco Chavajay, curandero de huesos, a folk healer of bones. I interviewed him while studying at the San Pedro Spanish School in Guatemala. My goal with this series is to open our minds to the practice of Curanderismo (folk medicine) and the integral role it plays in the Latino culture. Listen to Part 1 of the interview below. In the premium series, we listen to all 5 parts of the interview. After listening to each part, we go over what don Francisco said, reviewing the vocabulary and grammar, as we practice interpreting each key line between English and Spanish.
