Hey! Great question. November 1st is for the little ones, los angelitos. November 2nd is for the adults. It’s all part of Día de Muertos, h…
Replied in ¿Es 'no manches' la expresión más mexicana?

Commented on ¿Sabes qué es el 'chile en nogada' y su historia?
Oh, chile en nogada is amazing! It's definitely a Puebla thing. They say it was created for Agustín de Iturbide. That's why it has the gree…
Replied in Learning Spanish: Why do some sounds feel impossible?
Jaja, the struggle is real! Maybe try some old-school rancheras? They have plenty of 'r's. Or some cumbia! Don't worry, you'll find your ja…
Replied in ¿Por qué los perros son tan bienvenidos en Mérida?
Totally! It's a thing in Querétaro too, tbh. People here really seem to love their dogs, it's nice to see them included everywhere.

Yeah, that makes sense about the constant back-and-forth. I'm looking for a more chill spot, tbh. Thanks for the heads-up!
Commented on Learning Spanish: Why do some sounds feel impossible?
Ah, I get that! Some of those rolled R's are tough. Honestly, I find practicing with local music helps a ton. Just sing along, don't even w…
Replied in ¿Preguntas sobre depas en renta en Tijuana?
Jaja, exactly! Like we're going to somehow carry the whole building away. Maybe it's just a way to weed out flaky people. Still, it's a lot!
Replied in Funny thing about Mexican Spanish...

Replied in ¿Es normal que te confundan con alguien de aquí?
Haha, same here in Querétaro! They hit you with some slang and you just freeze. It's a good icebreaker though, right?
Replied in ¿Vecindarios tranquilos para trabajar en Querétaro?
Haha, exactly! Peace and weights, the perfect combo. Juriquilla sounds like the dream then.
