Word of the Week: HINTERLAND

This is the very first Word of the Week from Spanish - please let me know if you know of any others, since I completely depend on my readers for this language! Hinterland was pointed out to me by Marta in a comment related to one of my earlier posts. 

In Spanish, hinterland seems to be used the same way as the German original, Hinterland, and the English equivalent, which of course is originally German, too. The French use it, too. I'm not sure how a Spanish speaker would pronounce it, but my guess is that the "h" at the beginning is the point where the pronunciation of hinterland differs most between the two languages.
