The main language spoken here is Spanish. There is a Peruvian native language called Quechua that is typically spoken in the Andes region where I live. Most of the older people speak Quechua and Spanish, but less of the younger people know it and usually just speak Spanish. In high school they are given English classes, but most people don't speak more than a few English words.
The currency here is called soles.("suns"). One sol is written as s/1.00. There are coins for 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, one sol, two soles, and five soles. There are bills for 10 soles, 20 soles, 50 soles, and 100 soles. There is also a larger bill but it is super uncommon to see anyone use a bill higher than 100 soles because stores won't accept them for risk of being fake. The exchange rate fluctuates a little but is typically around 3.7 soles for every 1 U.S. dollar.
A normal sized water bottle costs three soles or about one U.S. dollar.
