f you read Errores de un guiri (Frases del día) and Errores de un guiri (palabras no confundir), you already know what this is about, and you can skip the following two paragraphs.

I started Errores de Un Guiri to help people learn about Spanish culture and improve their Spanish by laughing with (or at) the mistakes I made. By understanding a language's common structures and idioms, you understand the humour and culture of the people (and vice versa).

Before reading, it's important to know what a Guiri is. "¿Qué es “guiri?” Un guiri es un extranjero que vive en España. Alguien que pone ketchup en la tortilla, mezcla los verbos estar y ser, deja propinas, busca restaurantes abiertos entre las 15:00 y 20:00, sale al club a las diez, llora en el ayuntamiento, pide paella fuera de la comunidad Valencia, y comete otros errores graves." What is “guiri?” A guiri is a foreigner living in Spain. Someone who puts ketchup on the tortilla, mixes the verbs estar and ser, leaves tips, looks for restaurants open between 15:00-20:00, goes to the club at ten, cries at the town hall, asks for paella outside the Valencia community, and makes other serious mistakes.

For today's article, we will start by testing your guiri knowledge.
