I pretend to buy an Mexican PS3, because i live in Brazil, and i need to know if i can change the language to English, because i think it comes in Spanish...

ok so i was born in mexico but was raised in the usa since i was a baby so i dont know anything about mexico like its history traditions etc.... and i really want to learn about where i came from or off my country you know but i don't know where to start from is there a book out there or what. that can teach me about mexico's history . cause all i know is about USA's history which is alright of course. i am married to a american guy an i have a fear that when we decide to have children i wont be able to teach them about their Mexican heritage they will only know the american one. for example i have a aunt who also married an american guy and has 4 children that don't even know how to speak Spanish at all because my aunt never taught them how too she never taught them about mexico or traditional dishes from mexico, nothing. even my aunt forgot she was Mexican she doesn't know how to cook Mexican food and is always calling my mom to tell help her out. my aunt acts like shes more american than Mexican you know and i don't want that to be me. i want that when i ever take my children to mexico that they can be able to communicate with the family down there and that they know that there not only american but Mexican as well an that they know the history of mexico its traditions and everything. so basically what is a good website or book or something that is going to help me discover about my Mexican heritage.
i wasnt sure what category so i just posted it on this one. also if ur a racist asshole this is not for u too read to move along

I'm a big fan of regional mexican music and well being hispanic is one of the reasons why. Anyways, I have always wanted to learn to play the accordion and have been saving money to buy one and learn how to play it. I'm 21 and I should of started when I was younger, but I still have the desire to learn to play the accordion. Does anyone know where I can learn to play it? What kind of accordion is the best for a beginner?

I just moved to a new school in early may
And at this school no girls tend to even look at me
at my old school every girl loved me or crushed on me
I dont get it
is it because i barely talked and i let the black and Mexican kids tease me is that why???
i feel like i got ugly all of a sudden??

Let's say I had a baby. If I were to put headphones on the baby and play Mexican music all day and let it watch Mexican movies while it's not listening to the music, could the baby learn how to speak Spanish and start speaking to me in Spanish?

I'm wanting to teach my 7 month old daughter some American sign language so it will be a little easier to communicate with her. I know it's a little late, but better late than never, right? What I was wondering, was if there's a difference in American sign language and Mexican sign language since I was wanting to start teaching her that too. I've already been speaking phrases to her in spanish, so is there a big difference or is it the same gestures in a different order, like how you would speak spanish?

If mexico is so great why are you here. go back to it.

I work at a local electronics store and a man comes up and started talking to me in Spanish like i should know the hell he's talking about!! Then we got a translator and he says that I am the one who need to learn to speak Spanish. Shouldn't he be the one who needs to learn English?!?!?! This kind of stuff is getting on my nerves more and more all the time. We are letting these people into our Country, yet they refuse to learn our language..

Both of my parents are Nigerians and they both speak Igbo. However, none of my siblings including myself can speak it. I used to speak a little bit but i was really young. However I can COMPLETELY understand it, I just can't speak it. My parents are always talking about how they see Asian, Indian, and Mexican kids speaking their language but we can't. I feel really ashamed because I have both parents that speak the language. I am 15 years old and would like to speak fluently before i get too old or leave home. any advice?

Like we have 1 cent is a penny, 5 cents is a nickel, 10 cents is a dime etc.
Do they have 100 cents is 1 dollar, do they have 5.00 and 10.00 and 20.00 like we do. And how do I covert so I understand what each money is?? Any suggestions on how to learn about mexican money? Explain like you are talking to a first grader. This all seems so confusing.

i know English, and Spanish and am currently learning German. but i cant seem to make it stick. some words r easy but others i keep getting confused with my spanish (even though i know little of and have a huge american accent! and even though im mexican! lol )

so i was wondering, does anyone else ever have this problem when learning a 3rd language?

Mexican president says it's okay to put troops on the border but don't arrest Mexicans illegally crossing the border. What? How about we shoot anyone sneaking across. How about that?
Turns out the 1200 national guard troops are not actually going to be manning the border, they are going to be in the back offices. So once again the government is just all talk and no action. This is all for show to make it look like Obama is actually doing something.

what did you learn when you went to a mexican restaurant? what were you hoping to learn?

I decided a few days ago that I want to be bilingual, but I have no idea which language is easiest. Obviously, I only speak english, but I know a few words/phrases in Spanish, because I have a mexican friend, and my brother is taking Spanish in school. So I picked up a few things here and there, but not too much. And I'm not interested in learning Spanish. I kinda want to learn French, but I don't know the difficulty of it. So, what's the easiest to learn?

....how much effort do illegal immigrant make to integrate themselves into American culture?

A Mexican woman in my office makes two visits per year to the grave stone of someone who died 20 years ago. She takes time off of work to go and speak to the dead person in hopes that he hears her..................are all Mexicans like this and if so, why?
I never heard of such a thing on the scale that Mexicans do it.

I need to chose between spanish, french, german and mandarin for my foreign language class. Im already fluent in Spanish, as im mexican, so I really have 3 languages to choose from. Im leaning towards German, but I can easily change mind.
I obviously tried to apply for spanish, but they didnt let me choose it, because its not in the spirit of "multicultarism".

I recently learned that Mexican rice is made with chicken broth and tortillas/chips are sometimes made with lard.

Can someone confirm whether the well-known chains such as Chipotle, Baja Fresh, and Taco Bell use chicken broth in their rice? I know Baja Fresh does not use lard but I wasn't sure about the chicken broth.

Thanks.

Me (Mexican) and my partner (British) are planning to get married and need some help, is there any one we can talk to that have already done this process that can tell us the requirements needed and tips for this, along with help full things you and your partner found useful along the way into the uk

I believe it came from Nahuatl Mexican Language.

The problem is i don't know where to take classes. Does anyone know where i can learn to make mexican gelatin? in South California, SD to be specific.

What are the pros and cons of each city? Prague has a special vibe that attracts us dearly but it seems everything in Munich is better organized and works better.
We are both 31 years old. In a couple of years we plan on starting a family. My wife is German of Czech parents. I am Mexican. Language wouldn't be a problem.

Why do Norwegians never say anything?

Anybody know of a sight where I can learn how to play mexican music on the guitar? Types of music I wana learn is rancheras, mariachi, rock in spanish. Some of the artists music that I wana learn are Vicente Fernandez, Antonio Aguilar, Mana, Juanes, and anything else like that.

My Iranian friend claims that his language is called Farsi, not Persian, but my argument is that even though it's known as Farsi in the language itself, in English, it would be called Persian. After all, you wouldn't say to a Mexican, "Hey, do you speak Espanol?"

Any ideas?

This guy I know who is salvadorian called me a chunti because I play soccer and I'm Mexican. He says he doesn't like Mexican soccer players because they are chuntis and he also said that some mexicans are bitches. Does this sound racist? After I pointed it out to him he got all mad and said that he was talking about "some" mexicans.
