Este es un episodio especial en español de Atlas Linguae en el que hablamos con Bryan Rey (@bryanreyy_).

En este episodio hablamos con Bryan sobre de dónde surgió su pasión por descubrir y aprender diferentes acentos en español, cómo estructura sus videos para que sean divertidos y culturalmente precisos, y cómo fue que logró–desde tan temprana edad–dominar el acento chileno.&nbsp;&nbsp;
