January 6th marks Three Kings Day, a tradition that means very different things around the world.

In this episode, I share how Día de Reyes is experienced in Guatemala — not as a big celebration, but as a cultural moment connected to family, food, and the end of the Christmas season.

You’ll learn:
✨ where this tradition comes from
✨ who the Three Wise Men are
✨ what Guatemalan families usually do on this day
✨ why the Rosca de Reyes is so important
✨ and how Three Kings Day connects to Candlemas

This episode is explained in clear, slow Spanish, perfect for intermediate learners (B1–B2) who want to learn Spanish through real culture.

Happy Three Kings Day and happy learning! 🤍

In this video, I take you into my kitchen to make Guatemalan rice tamales, also known as pachitos, a traditional Christmas dish that takes time, patience, and a lot of love.I’m from Guatemala, and this year I decided to make pachitos for my American family so they could experience a small but meaningful part of Guatemalan Christmas culture. From soaking and grinding the rice, to preparing the recado (sauce), wrapping the tamales, and steaming them for hours, I share the entire process step by step.This video is also a Spanish learning experience. As you watch, you’ll hear real, natural Spanish used in context, connected to food, family, and traditions. It’s perfect for Spanish learners who want to improve their listening skills while learning about Latin American culture.
