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

Where is Lake Chapala?

Technorati Tags: ,

People are always asking me where I live. Here is Lake Chapala relative to Guadalajara. I just discovered I can embed Google Maps in my site! San Juan Cosala is to the west (left) of where the town of Chapala is marked.

And here the green arrow points to Guadalajara. We're pretty far south of the border. By the time any hurricanes might get here -- and ones from the Pacific do bring us a lot of our rainy season rains -- they have lost a lot of steam coming through the rugged mountains! If there is a big white box over the map, I don't know if there is a way I could have gotten rid of it but just click on the X in its upper right corner to close it. You can probably move the map around with your cursor to see further in any direction, or use the arrows. The + and - will take you closer in or further out.
