Episode 1: Why Do Mexicans Say “Ahorita”? — And Why It Doesn't Always Mean Right Now

Welcome to the very first episode of Mexico, No Translation Needed, a podcast about understanding Mexico beyond the words.

In this episode, Héctor Adrián Morales Vela explores one of the most famous — and confusing — words in Mexican Spanish: “ahorita.”
