Painful to listen to…

This is the worst narration I’ve ever heard. The pronunciation clearly came from someone who has no experience speaking or even hearing Spanish, Portuguese, or Guaraní. Not only was the pronunciation VERY inaccurate - even for anglicization - but it was inconsistently changed from passage to passage. The narrator’s reading was also very sing-songy which made this book even more difficult to finish.
The content itself was decent but it sounded like a college freshman wrote this book. The author kept adding in disclaimers which really discredited their own work.
Overall disappointed because I was extremely interested in this topic. Completing this book has become a chore rather than an intriguing source of entertainment.

Have you ever thought about visiting South America but just don’t know which country to choose first? Would you like to know more about the heart of South America, the country called Paraguay? The country of Paraguay, though small and often overlooked when considering South America, is a country that boasts of beautiful sights and indigenous people. With its location placing it at almost the centermost position within South America, Paraguay is often referred to by the locals as the “Heart of South America”.

An interesting, yet concise history of Paraguay
- De Steve Adams en 06-26-24
Sophomoric writing
Revisado: 05-13-24
The information was decent and for such a narrow scope, it presented information efficiently. However, the writing was very reminiscent of a high school student trying to fill a page with fluff words just to reach a word quota on an assignment. It would have also been better if pronunciation of words like Paraguay and Guarani were more accurate.
