Recently my main work online has been a massive makeover of Mexico-with-Heart.com, which began about five years ago and now has something like 600 pages. Both the main website and the blog have hundreds of pages. It’s been annoying me for quite a while now so I finally began combining everything into one site. Everything will be much easier to find, for sure. For any of you who are into such things, the entire site will now be run on Wordpress. That link to the homepage shows the original site — for another week or two, anyway — and here is a link to the new site:
http://www.mexico-with-heart.com/category/learn-spanish/
That link will take you to a list of the various articles I’ve written on that site about learning Spanish. Here’s one tidbit from there: One night, Kelly and I had dinner in Colorado with our friends Bill and Chinle, who are rock climbers.
Chinle told the story of climbing in Mexico a few years ago. Chinle speaks very little Spanish. They were climbing there when she noticed some Mexican boys climbing in an area where they should have had ropes on.
So she called out to them, “No ropa! No ropa!”
In Spanish, ropa does not mean rope, as she thought. It means clothing. The mother of one of the boys thought this was hilarious, and laughed and laughed.
