Analizando mi español después de 16 años - Analyzing My Spanish After 16 Years (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does 16 years of learning Spanish really look like? In this episode, May and I take you through my personalized Spanish evaluation, from the strengths I’ve developed over the years to the grammar mistakes I still need to work on. We talk about tricky areas like ser vs. estar, articles, prepositions, “se” constructions, and fixed expressions, and why these small details can be difficult to catch in everyday conversations.

Read excerpt
How do you know whether to shake hands, hug, or give someone a cheek kiss in Mexico? Why do Mexicans offer food even when they barely have enough for themselves, and why can a party’s start time be more of a suggestion than a rule? In this episode, we continue our conversation about Mexican cultural codes and explore the social meaning behind physical greetings, “¿gustas?”, sobremesa, flexible timing, and softening negative responses and requests. We also share some funny personal experiences...
Por qué los mexicanos dicen “provecho”? 10 códigos culturales Parte 1 - Why Do Mexicans Say “Provecho”? 10 Cultural Codes, Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We explore some of the small but important cultural habits that shape everyday interactions in Mexico, from wishing strangers provecho at a restaurant to greeting someone before making a request. We also compare Mexican and U.S. customs around saying hello, saying goodbye, and even those famously long goodbyes! Plus, we explain how and when to use con permiso and discuss the nuances of tú, usted, don, doña, señor, and señorita. These expressions may seem simple, but understanding when and why...
