My son is a college freshman and is attempting to get some extra credit in Spanish. He can add 2 % to his grade if he makes and brings in something authentically Mexican. Translation help would also be appreciated. Thanks!

San Diego is basically a Mexican city and therefore people speaking English are disrespecting Mexican culture. This is very offensive

Speaking more than one language is cultural enrichment. Most civilized and industrialized countries are bilingual or trilingual.
Why the USA is not if Spanish is spoken by millions and it represents the second most spoken language across nation?

what english to learn? how can you improve all your skills? when you attend classes in english but by mexican teachers with bad pronunciation and boring methods of teaching. Hi I am learning.. english but I want to expand more and more vocabulary, pronunciation etc.. you know please tell me.. good

Between 1914 and the spring of 1917, the European nations engaged in a conflict that became known as World War I. While armies battled in Europe, the United States remained neutral. In 1916 Woodrow Wilson was elected President for a second term, largely because of the slogan "He kept us out of war." Events in early 1917 would change that hope.

In January of 1917, British cryptographers deciphered a telegram from German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to the German Minister to Mexico, von Eckhardt, offering United States territory to Mexico in return for joining the German cause. To protect their intelligence from detection and to capitalize on growing anti-German sentiment in the United States, the British waited to present the telegram to President Wilson. Meanwhile, frustration over the effective British naval blockade caused Germany to break its pledge to limit submarine warfare. In response, the United States severed diplomatic relations with Germany.

All the synonyms. I'm a mexican dude intending to build his vocabulary. Would you help me.
If anybody speaks Spanish too. How could I translate "es que" from Spanish to English.

For example: "Es que soy mexicano".
How could I say that in English?

I have a happy life. I can't complain. Most people say it is perfect.
But since I have met you I have realized that if I had to start from the beginning, I would wait my whole life looking for someone like you.

Hello!
Well, I am mexican and I always have wondered that. You may know that spanish has different pronunciations, in Spain the 's', 'z' and 'c' aren't pronounced in the same way, in Mexico they do.

So, do you learn spanish with mexican pronunciation?

Thank you!!!

I speak spanish, but i learnt in spain, so its castellano. I want to find out some pure mexican words to expand my vocabulary.

I know.. 'chido' so far. Very cool.
Saludos y besos para mis amigos mexicanos

What is the Mexican translation to Murphy's Law?

Rosanna Pulido, Illinois spokesperson for You Don't Speak for Me, a national coalition of American Hispanics who oppose illegal immigration, states, "Actually Elvira Arellano is a testament to the utter failure of the Mexican government. Because of widespread corruption, the government of Mexico has consistently failed to provide economic opportunity to millions of Mexican people and encourages them to violate U.S. immigration laws. The Mexican government could care less about people like Ms. Arellano. What they are really here to protect is the billion a year that the millions of Mexicans living in the U.S. send home to Mexico," Pulido charged.

He says

YELLOW?!?

people speak? Do you notice that the other has a heavy accent?

If they reside in the United States then they most likely speak three languages. English, Spanish and Nahuatl. Most Mexicans don't know that when they speak Spanish they are actually using a lot of vocabulary from the so called Aztec language. As many of you may know. Mexicans are basically a combination of the l Aztec Warrior and the Imperialist Spaniard from Europe. They use a lot of words from the Nahuatl language and dont even realize it. Mexicans speak a hybrid of the Nahuatl language and Spanish. Now three with English haha.

It serves "authentic" Mexican food, but as far as I can tell, it's still tacos and shrimp cocktail, by any other name.

But it's supposed to be a good review (they're paying for it).

Got any ideas? I'm at a loss. I'll take anything to get me started...

Let's say that an Mexican is living in Spain with his Spanish wife, or French Canadian is living in France with her French husband, something like that.

How much will the different accent of the minority parent affect the pronunciation of the child?

My 29-year old sister was basically chewed out by a complete stranger for not knowing how to speak Spanish--right here in America! We are about and 1/8 Mexican and an 1/8 Ecuadorian (with the other 75% being Danish, Dutch, French, Irish, Italian, and Scottish mixed in)--should we also be able to speak those 4 languages--along with the Irish and Scottish accents?

I only need their culture about the stuff above/\
