I like a wide variety of music and would like to know if anyone knows any good songs with a sort of mexican/spanish feel or riff

I need to know how to say
[I would tap you twice] in spanish?

I can't think of a single immigrant, illegal or legal, who refused to speak English. usually the illegals struggle, but they try.

I wish I could say the same of my own countrymen in regards to Spanish.

so be 100% honest: have you REALLY ever met an immigrant, illegal or otherwise, who refused to speak or learn English given the opportunity?
40 MILLION people in the USA speak Spanish as their primary language. that's reason enough to learn.
I grew up in an agricultural area 30 minutes outside SF, I know ALOT of immigrants.

If I were to go to South America, I know they wouldn't be catering to my needs and my language should I decide to become a citizen. I would have to become completely fluent - no translator would be provided. I would not be allowed automatic foodstamps, housing, welfare. I would be expected to function like everyone else, including speaking the language coherently and fluently. If the US is going to go to such great lengths to make immigrants comfortable here, shouldn't other countries do the same for immigrants to their countries? And to visitors from other countries who live and work there? Fair is fair.

I've always wanted to learn this
language.
I'm a native spanish speaker(I'm mexican btw)
and I can also understand a little bit of Portuguese
But I just want to know where can I go on the web to
learn how to speak French

translate this for me into spanish.. (slangish.. MEXICAN spanish)

I love to dance at clubs, espiecially with my papi's. I hate fake bitches, but I love mine. If your going to start s h i t, don't start myspace drama, please. you will never forget my name. and now it's your turn. tell me.
Translate this from english to spanish.. spanish speakers only :]
my girls/bitches is what i meant.. but thank youu soo much Remy!! :]

Yeah, so, my ex who I was madly in love with years ago married my once best friend. When parting, they would say T.Q.M. She was taking spanish courses and he spoke spanish fluently. They made allusions to it being a spanish term as well. Does anyone know what this might mean?

i'm looking for mexico spanish, not spain spanish. there seems to be quite a difference between the two. Help me out please!

During the last 100 years, the racism in Mexico has shown 3 characteristics: 1) it has slowed the process of modernization; 2) it has contributed to the dissolution of public consciousness 3) it has damaged the moral assets of the nation.

1. During the Porfiato nobody hindered the subsistence of the racial social structure, or the heritage of colonization, and Mexico was pledging to overcome these things by "whitening" itself. From here the government was trying to directly structure itself around the descendants of the European colonists.

Today racism still subsists in Mexico as it did during the beginning of the 20th century and before during the period of colonization, all the while hindering the modern growth of its populace. There are indications of growth such as the increase in literacy, the expansion of elemental education, electrification, the introduction of telephone services and the Internet, laser computers, radios, televisions, etc... Mexicans, however, not only live with discrepancies of incomes directly correlating with race, but also live with the rest of the inequalities that are linked to the caste system present here. The original criollo (direct Spanish descendants) structure still has a hegemonic position within Mexico.

Some have defended the status quo, talking of how the racial mobility of Mexico has dramatically increased during this century. But as soon as they have the opportunity to proclaim the implicit supremacy of the "white race" in the process of promoting the sales of products and services, they never hesitate to do so.

2. Our racism is not up for debate. There is no political official to denounce it, confront it, or overcome it, and of course, this in no way worries the elite. The classical studies of Vasconcelos, Ramos, and Molina Enriquez aren't circulating. Santiago Ramirez makes a freudian interpretation and speaks of our inferiority complex in the face of Europe, without realizing that this inferiority complex exists independently amongst Mexicans as a result of the racism present here. The study about the correlation between income and race done by Jose Iturriaga was an important study that was never followed or expanded upon. Bonfil Batalla has a book, "Mexico Profundo" that takes a look at some of the race issues in Mexico, but it has only stimulated a little interest. The official position is not so much one based on support of the Mestizo, but one based on the continuation of criollo dominance. The presence of an increasingly angry indigenous consciousness has unfortunately not led to a greater level of consciousness for the dominant class.

3. The worst damage as a result of the racism present in Mexico is the psychological and cultural damage. Agustin Basave in Mexico Mestizo, describes the results of the imposition of culture on the identity and improvement of Mexico . He points to the contempt of the achievements of the national culture, and the embrace of western culture, particularly that of North America. He continues by indicating that this attitude is impeding Mexico from making the necessary synthesis away from our racism, and creating internal security for ourselves. This embrace of western culture, according to Basave, is also breaking our internal images, and generating unequal dualities, making it nearly impossible to create a true national project. In total the racism present in Mexico, along with the embrace of western culture is dividing and debilitating our nation.

It is very difficult to attack the racism inherent in Mexican culture when those that suffer from it, mainly mestizos, seen to be accomplices in the process of discrimination. But it is possible to go at the dissolution of racism from a different angle. Of great importance is to accept that we suffer from racism in this country as a result of the caste system. It is absolutely necessary that the government and intellectual side of Mexico promote the expansion of this consciousness. They should prohibit the use of commercials in Mexico that promote racial dominance, or at the very least modify what already exists. Also of importance is to change the informal education system, particularly that which offers access to different types of media, such as books, newspapers, radio and television. They should all be attempting to create a type of race consciousness that directly goes at the problem of racism in Mexico.

The decadence of the public education system is currently greatly contributing to the augmentation of racism throughout Mexico. In private universities, the criollo population is being educated and taught to control the media for the particular reason of maintaining their dominance. Vicente Fox recently declared that the slowly increasing access to education for all, is at the root of the continuation and spread of racist ideology. This t

ya seee. pero ugh estupidos gueros con ojos azules. los quiero matar. conectate y te cuento jajaja

My suite mate in College speaks spanish and wrote this note- but we have no clue what is says/means. Can you help?

and what were pablo escobar and carlos lehder are they both mexican or were they both spanish thanks

I'm a native-born Peruvian. I have brown eyes, brown hair, and tan skin. My family speaks Spanish. Here in Colorado, everyone automatically presumes I'm Mexican. "Oh, she's brown and speaks Spanish, she MUST be Mexican." Frankly, it's a bit annoying.

Does this ever happen to any of you guys?Any Canadians, South Americans, dark-skinned people had any similar experiences?

Spanish is my second language, but I would consider myself fluent (Spanish major, spent a year in Costa Rica studying abroad, girlfriend is a native speaker).

I know my potential to get a job will increase, but would my salary increase as well?

links to where the info is, are appreciated!

"hey, man. I didn't mean to offend Mexican girls... I don't have anything against you people, why the hate?"

Hi, I'm Mexican I speak Spanish and a little of English.

I have been studying of it very hard lately , I think it is a beautiful language, but , then I would like to learn French, because the sounds are very pretty!.

and you?

thank you for your answer!
bye

I do not think it is. I live in Texas, and it is like Mexico over here. They do not even take the time to learn English. Instead, others have to learn spanish. That is not how it is suppose to be. Psh, what do you think?

I do speak pretty good spanish, and have dated other mexican men

for example what does it meen in "Porque ya no me contstaste"

I think it's a fairly popular spanish song but I just don't know the actual title. If it's actually called Ai Mama, then I sure can't find it on Youtube.

Example: A person born in East Los Angeles, CA, lives there for the first 20 years of their life, yet never has learned to speak with a Mexican accent, like their family, friends and neighbors do.

I saw it in a restraunt. Cuidado! No paseo en el vomito de mono.
Is it something about not catching the disease mono?

I'm in Spanish 1 but I already know quite a bit of Spanish from listening to Spanish music and talking to friends in Spanish, but I still can't have an actual conversation in Spanish.
By the way, i'm 18 in April

Why is it that Mexicans in Tijuana speak English but in San Diego they cant? As soon as I came back into the United States, none of them could speak English. Do they only send the dumb ones to the US????

My phone is on spanish mode and everything is in spanish so don't have a clue what my phone is saying. Anyone have a marroon motorola cel phone and can kinda tell me step by step where to go, Thanks so much

i have to make a spanish tapa for spanish class, and i thought bread of the dead sounded good....so is it a spanish tapa, and/or mexican tapa?

Or State dept. and how do I contact them?
I live near Detroit,MI

If you are qualified to do a job, is it fair to have to be able to speak Spanish because they don't know how to speak English? If I was dealing with people abroad and must speak their language in order to do business, then yes I would understand. But, this is to deal with people right here in America. What's your take?

I live in California and will be starting work at a hospital. There are many people who speak Spanish and are from Mexico, I speak Spanish, but I find this accent to be the hardest to understand. I am looking to travel in Latin America to improve my understanding of the different Spanish accents so I can assist those who speak at the hospital where I work.

Im 16 and and my friend mike always corrects me when i say im not bilingual and i speak American... Is he stupid or something? Of course I speak American! just like Mexicans speak Mexican, or English people speak English or how Indians speak Indians!!! How should I tell him that he isnt a bright boy? only serious answers please.

Hi, I'd like to learn another language, I'm already fluent in english polish and spanish and just wondered which else would be most useful to me since I'd like to pursue some type of an international career..
Thank you!
