I had to learn all of these when I studied Spanish in high school, and I came up with all sorts of weird tricks to remember them. Fifteen years later, I only got 8/12, but the ones I did remember were because of my dumb tricks! LOL
I knew the opposites. You give me the capital, I'll give you the country.
Which gets me to thinking... Are there opposite quizzes? Country to Capital, then Capital to Country? They should be linked somehow. (Maybe in my browser)
I always mix up Guyana's capital. For some reason I always wanna put Jonestown instead of Georgetown. Oh well I got it this time. And I finally remembered Paramarino.
Chile is the southernmost country in South America. (Or if you put both North America and South America together and call it the Americas, then Chile is the southernmost country in the Americas.) I like to think of Chile as a worm. Because it is long. I like long countries.
I feel French Guiana and should be on here with the capital as Cayenne...although that would mean the Falkland Islands should be on here too with the capital Stanley.
Ha! I went ahead in time the furthest. I am hereby dubbed "Marty McFly," whom actually should be called "Doc Martin" because he really liked the shoes, and kinda became a doctor after all that time machine stuff with Dr. Emmet Brown. Hooray! Yay 80s movies!
Blanked out and combined Paramaribo (capital of Suriname) and Maracaibo (lake and city in Venezuela) to get Paramaracaibo and then realized that I added a few too many letters there.
Just watched I Still Know What You Did Last Summer the other night... very dumb movie generally speaking... but the thing that kept bothering me the most was that nobody knew what the capital of Brazil was. This was a major plot point, too.
11/12 🇸🇷 Couldn't get Montevideo even though I knew it started with M. Got confused between Ecuador, Paraguay & Uruguay's capitals, but good thing they didn't have to be in order!
I remember South America's map being stamped in our notebook and we had to color it and label the countries and their capitals. The ink got smudged, causing pages to stick and stained our hands :/...
it should be asunscion
