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

A podcast in Spanish from Queretaro Mexico

Here's something quite different from the various other blogs I've been finding -- this is a podcast, which means it's created in MP3 files, created by what seems to be a variety of people, mostly young, from the city of Queretaro, the capital of the state of the same name in Mexico and about an hour away from where we rent a house in Bernal. Clicking on the title of this blog entry takes you there.... oops, not to Mexico, just to the podcast!

In case you're not familiar with podcasts, as I wasn't till recently, they are basically sound equivalents to blogs, or you could call them a form of radio broadcasting that anyone can do. If you have any MP3-playing software on your computer, clicking on the title of any entries in the Queretaro podcast will automatically start the podcast playing.

I love how the internet and all these various electronic toys (camera, MP3 recorders, etc.) are bringing people with similar interests together worldwide. Kelly and I were reminiscing the other day about our lives pre-email. We're all living through a remarkable revolution, one that we don't always notice.

    Thanks for posting this. I've been looking for some Spanish podcasts to help me learn the language and this looks like it will be perfect.
