If there is a word one of us does NOt unerstand, we ask each other what it means...Thus we increase our vocabulary..When I was in Virginia I lost alot of Spanish because there wasn't any one to practice with so I had to relearn it when I came back to Texas...I wil always speak Spanish because when you lose a language, you loose a culture....Adios
El problema es que el resto del mundo cree que sea cual sea el país donde se hable castellano es México, y esto no me gusta porque de la misma forma que a un francés nadie lo va a relacionar con alguien que viva en Sierra Leone por hablar el mismo idioma, un español no tiene nada que ver con un mexicano. Compartimos idioma, sí, pero son culturas y países completamente distintos. De hecho, hay montones de gente que creen que España está en centro América... sólo trato de combatir la ignorancia.


may all youя dяεamiиg fill the εmpтy sky.
