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 Mexico News Resource

Ana Maria Salazar, a bilingual American attorney with impressive credentials, has a blog and two radio programs in English that are well worth knowing about.

Her daily blog, www.mexicotoday.blogspot.com, has just found a place on my browser's toolbar, so I can be sure to check it often. Here is the blurb at its top:
Mexico Today is your daily dose of news and analysis on current affairs in Mexico. This blog is moderated by Ana Maria Salazar, host of "Imagen News", the only nation-wide radio news program in English broadcasted from Mexico. Need to know what is going on in Mexico? Mexico Today is the place to go.
She hosts the nearly half-hour "Imagen News" every day at 5:30AM and 11:00PM on 14 FM radio stations around Mexico. I am not normally of a mind to listen to the news at either time, but you can either download the broadcast in mp3 format or just listen to it on your computer, at any time. Here's the link:

I'm starting to listen to this as I cook or do housework. She does interesting interviews.

On the weekend she offers "Living in Mexico, " which is a weekly summary of news in Mexico.

A good way to be better informed. Both of these programs seem to list about 4 of the most recent broadcasts; scroll down the pages to see them.
