A castle in Salamanca, Spain with the castle reflecting in the moat in front of it. Inside the picture is a text box that reads: "International Phrase of the Month by Abby Wittmer 'The phrase, rather than the word, that I think sums up my experience here in Salamanca, Spain, is 'No pasa nada.' The phrase literally means 'nothing passes,' but it is used colloquially almost every day. Commonly Spaniards say it to each other meaning that everything is fine and that the other person shouldn't worry. It shows a level of comfort with those around you, and that you are truly willing to help each other out, no pasa nada.'
