The Vocabulary Goldmine

Regardless of whether you guessed correctly, the episode is packed with vocabulary you'll actually use:

La cancha — The court. This is your go-to word for almost any playing surface in Latin American Spanish. La cancha de fútbol, la cancha de hockey, la cancha de whatever-sport-you-just-guessed.

Las paredes de vidrio — Glass walls. Yes, this sport has glass walls. And yes, spectators can watch through them. Clara explained: las personas que no están jugando pueden ver a las que juegan a través de un vidrio.

En dobles — In doubles. This sport is almost exclusively played two-on-two. Siempre dobles. No es individual.

El saque — The serve. The opening shot of each point.

Devolver — To return the ball. You'll use this verb constantly when talking about any racket sport.
