Questions
What are the 20 Spanish-speaking countries?
Spain, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Equatorial Guinea. Equatorial Guinea is the only one in Africa; Spain is the only one in Europe.
Why 20 and not 21?
Lists for Spanish class often add Puerto Rico. It is a US territory rather than a country, so it isn’t in the quiz — its capital is San Juan.
What is the capital of Bolivia?
Sucre is Bolivia’s constitutional capital, and that’s the answer in the quiz. The government sits in La Paz, so you’ll see both names.
Can I use it in class?
Yes. It’s free, needs no account and works on phones, tablets and classroom screens.
