Living in Mexico and Learning to Speak Spanish: Tales & How-to Tips

The purpose of this blog is to provide information about Mexico -- mostly through my husband's and my day-to-day experiences of living in Mexico, specifically in San Juan Cosala, Jalisco, by Lake Chapala near Ajijic. I write for people who might live or retire in Mexico, for expats or travelers currently in Mexico, and for Mexicans. I write about how to learn to speak Spanish, why it's important, and how to get started. For more, visit my website www.mexico-with-heart.com as well! -- Rosana Hart

Back to Platiquemos Español practice

Yesterday I got back into working on my Spanish. It felt good! I have a new MP3 player, which I will no doubt blog about soon, and I put my Platiquemos Español lessons on it. So when I went out for a walk before dinner, it was easy to slip the little thing in my pocket.

It was a little less easy to keep up a steady stream of repeating words as I began my walk... we live at over 8,000 feet and my usual walk begins with a long uphill stretch!

I decided to start over at the very beginning, even though I had done several units while we were in Mexico. The bits I reviewed yesterday were mostly pronunciation, and I noticed how badly I pronounce the r sound in Spanish. But I did have most of the vowels decently enough. Adelante!
