I know that the 16th of September is independence day for Mexico, but what are some things I should write about for this prompt? Thanks for the help.

I know that they are differnt dialects and I noticed some of the mexicans at my old job had some difficulty conversing with the south american spanish speaking people. I speak Moderate Mexican-Spanish not fluent and was wondering if that would get me by in spain, Travelling mind you not trying to work or anything

I've always been attracted to mexican guys.Theres some really cute guys that work at the supermarket, But the language barrier makes things kind of difficult. How could I tell them that i'm interested ?

illegal or not wont it be more practical to learn the countries primary language before moving there
if you were moving to mexico you'd learn some spanish

I'm already 72 and I don't want 30 more grandchildren. Are hispanics from Guatemala or Salvador any different?

Many on here claim that the pro illegals always pull out what they call the "race" card,yet all they ever mention is mexico and illegal mexicans.And when they talk about deporting illegals they are quick to shout "send them all back to mexico" how do they know they are all mexican and not from another latin american country.
p.s just a quick note to let everyone know that i'm female.i know has nothing to do with the question but hate those that assume I'm a guy because of my username.thanks

am I that sexy?. I have brown hair, blue eyes and i like to wear confederate flag hats and overalls. I just moved to LA and I drive a pick up truck and listen to country music. Girls find that attractive. I'm a cowboy whoooa

I need to tell this girl that i love her, but it's got to be more specific than that... i want to say...

" I love you, forever and ever."

I know "i love you" has many different meanings, so, this is someone who i care deaply for and want to start a serious relationship with. We have been VERY close friends for a while now, and i'm leaving for school next week. Also, she is Mexican, so i want to tell her in spanish. She speaks fluent spanish, and i just so happened to have only taken french in highschool so i don't know any spanish.

Can anyone help?
Also, i'm kinda worried about pronunciation...

thanks
E-mail or respond, either would be great.
I'm not really getting the answers i'm looking for, i guess i should elaborate... She told me she loved me, in english... and i want to do something special for her... Her mexican background is VERY important to her, so i figured it would be the perfect way.

I'm writing a story and need name ideas. Doesn't matter the gender or age, just any Mexican name that has struck your fancy. Thanks!

This is in the movie "amores perros." From the context of the situation I understand that he is asking "how much he is willing to put up" but if possible I would like a literal translation. Also, where does the "le" have a point in this?
Jlikesgoo - Your example is a not correct either, or shall I say it is not normative. Le should refer to an indirect object pronoun (objeto indirecto tercera persona). "El carro" from your example is not an indirect object, therefore you are personifying the car. Understand where I'm coming from?
Lo would be the correct object pronoun but then you wouldn't need to put "el carro."

no sarcasm please and No I'm not just going to speak english with them.
i speak Castellano spanish but I'm not fluent and I'd like some tips..
what things should I know how to say in order to buy food there? I'm buying various foods.
muchas gracias!!

My Choir teacher is making people try out for this play called "Salute to America," we have to try out for all of these and then she will pick the best. Obviously I can't do any of these very well but I REALLY need some help. Please give me all the information you can!

Example: Someone is born in the United States of Mexican parents and speaks both English and Spanish fluently since birth. They then go abroad to France to study French. Will they speak French with an English accent or a Spanish accent, or will they speak it with an accent in between English and Spanish? (By English and Spanish, I mean the English and Spanish languages, not the accents of England and Spain. Obviously in this case this individual would have an American English and a Mexican Spanish accent in their two languages).

i think they should probably try to at least try!!!

I need 3 facts and explanations its for social studies! plz write back!

Hypothetically Speaking: If The majority of illegal Immigrants were Haitian instead of Mexican would this change the view on illegal immigration. I mean if the illegal immigrants were black instead would the views on illegal immigration change. Can you imagine white people marching on the streets demanding illegal blacks to leave their country. Would this be seen as racism in the eyes of the black community. What would Jesse Jackson say?

PS don't think I'm racist I am looking through a Hypothetical point of view.

if all immigrants learned english. assimilated into our society and blended with our culture we would have no issues, but the damn people want to fly their own flag in our country. Grounds for treason/hanging not too long ago.
*** i am all for anyone immigrating who i can speak with, and whom shares the pride of being an american. thats it, is that too hard to figure out?

That is your language after all.

Does anyone know a good place to eat mexican food in the dallas tx area? Im talking about real mexican food, not tex-mex. Mi Cocina, taco cabana, or on the border do not count as real mexican food so if you agree with me on that and know a good place , let me know :)
Something similar to Chacho's in Houston would be nice

We're Mexican-American, but we speak TOTAL English at home. Only time we speak Spanish is when our dad is pissed and is lecturing us. So if we hear someone yelling like a guy from a Spanish soap opera, it only means one thing. We're in trouble.
And we (the kids) can understand Spanish, but we can't speak it. Talk to us in Spanish and we respond in English.

hello people, well im mexican but i'm testing my english, that's why i'm here,
Have you ever tried mexican food ?, if you have, what dou you think abou it?. Thank you so much for your answers.
By the way, could you tell me how good my english is?, i know i didn't write so much but its something to qualify.
GReetings from México.
Sorry sorry, iknow its "do" not "dou" but i was a finger mistake jeje
ups, sorry again i wrote "i was a finger mistake", but what i tried to write was "it was a finger mistake", i promise that next time i write, i'll read it before submit

A first generation immigrant Mexican family has moved into my neighborhood. Mom and Dad speak almost no English, and their 12 year old son speaks very little. Their financial situation doesn't allow for things like bookbags for the kids or a coat for Mom. My family has so much extra stuff, including coats never worn and bookbags never carried. I take their kids to school everyday with all the other kids I take, and Mom makes us homemade tamales. They are a lovely family, and even though we have a language barrier, we've managed to find ways to communicate and I don't want to damage this new relationship between our families. How can I give them things without offending them? I'm sure their Mexican Pride is just as great as my Southern Pride and I'd rather give people I know things they can use rather than just take them to the Sally. Any help? Thanks.
This family is here LEGALLY, and it wouldn't matter to me either way. AND if you're gonna be mean, just move on without answering.

I thought it was a blatant attempt to convince weak-minded people to think breaking the law was ok, and to think otherwise meant you are a 'racist'.

I think a day with out a mexican, would expose the companies that illegally hire them because the want ads would suddenly be bursting and the gov't could easily see who the illegals worked for.
I also thought it was 'racist' as MANY LEGAL immigrants from other countries do the low end work because of language barriers and disparate educations.
I married a mexican so I don't want a day without her, but without the illegals?
A day, week, month, year, decade and lifetime?
Fine by me!
What do you think?
johnny zondo, you say this:
stop being racist and remember that you white people need mexicans
I reply:
stop being racist and remember that mexicans need white people to give you jobs!
Go down to baton rouge and see white, black, cajun and creol people who live on k a year!
see on mexicans doing menial jobs for next to nothing!
They are born in america and THEY want a better life too.
but they are poor and often have no choice, but illegals choose to be law breakers!
and the movie assumes that anyone who is anti ILLEGALS is anti mexican. THIS IS A LIE!
I hate the fact that they are LAWBREAKING CRIMINALS!
How the gov. could control that??? Impossible!!! Peolple will keep hiring illegals and illegal will keep working!
brazil girl, you paint yourself as intelligent, so stop playing that you do not understand!
you ARENOT an example, as you are legal and so on. and as for the above quote,
that arguement is absolutely false and you know it. apply that reasoning to ANY other crime
drug dealing, murder for hire, mafioso activity,
selling answers to tests, kidnapping (they will always kidnap and parents will always pay!)
perhaps the one quality you lack is
HONESTY!
See the wizard, he can help you now
follow, follow, follow, follow
follow the yellow brick road!

Is it difficult to be legal in Italy from America?

There are mostly Mexicans in my town, and I do love Latina women as well as Asian and White Women, I'm Mainly Irish, quarter Japanese, but look White like Italian, and I only speak and understand English, and lately the girls I've been hanging out with are Mexican and speak both Spanish and English

WHY?!!!!!!

If Spaniards are white, how come they speak Mexican!?!?!?!?!?
Fernando Torres!!!! =D

I'm writing a story. What are some Italian or Mexican last names? Thanks!

I've always wondered, all the people who're anti mexican or latino seem to just love Mexican food, and often Corona! I've never understood this. Why would they talk negatively about Mexicans or Latinos as a whole, then run on over to Chipotle! Are most so called racists just fake? You claim not to like a people, then want to enjoy their food, which is made by them, then served to you!

I'm Mexican and I'm learning Italian. I just wanna know if our accent sounds bad or good when we speak Italian.
Thanks!

There is a Mexican girl in my class and we got into an argument about variants of the Spanish language. She says that Mexican Spanish isn't Spanish and that if a Mexican goes to Spain that the Spaniard and the Mexican won't understand each other. I understand that pronunciation is a little bit different, and I also know that Mexican Spanish has indigenous pre-Spanish Mexican words added to it, but I know it's not a completely different language.

yea my parents and i have a very weird relationship,
they dont speak english and i dont speak spanish, they can understand english and i can understand spanish but thats it. we understand eachother just fine though is that weird ive lived like this my whole life am i the only one? i lived just outside of dallas my whole life and never really had use spanish in school or to my friends so inever used it. im just wondering is there a generation of hispanics that dont know how to speak spanish very well.

I don't get it, why are there so many people who can only speak spanish when English is all around them? It seems like you would have to try harder not to learn English.

and not the way they teach you in college. Because if you ask a Mexican how to say something, they say something different than what you learn in college.
