Nine days of Las Posadas:

Mexican Christmas Customs

By Tara Spears

 

  In Mexico, the holiday season picks up momentum with the celebration of Las Posadas from December 16th to Christmas Eve. Traditionally, children perform the 'Posada' processions and families gather for fiestas. (Spanish for inn or lodging.) The Posadas days celebrate the part of the Christmas story where Joseph and Mary looked for a room in an inn but were turned away. For the Posadas, the outside of houses are decorated with evergreens, moss and paper lanterns. Inside, the usual holiday decoration is the nativity scene, El Nacimiento.

Good morning Dorothy I meant you, your husband Bill and daughter Dillan last night at Rocky's opening. I am here from Canada and I have a little kitty I have taken under my belt. Bill told me to email you a photo and hopefully you could put it in your newspaper for me. I will enclose a photo. Yesterday I took him to the Vet and had him neutered, dewormed and on December 16/08 he will get his rabies shot. He is a very compassionate kitty with lots of love to give. For now he is staying with us but we go home in March of 2009 and cannot take hime with me as I am allergic to cats.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dorothy,
 
We are planning an extended trip to Mexico in our 34' motorhome in January.  We want to leave from McAllen, TX and travel along the Gulf Coast, down to Chiapas, west along Southern Mexico to the Pacific Coast, then north along the coast and return to the U.S.  We can not decide whether we want to take our tow vehicle with us.  Can we rely upon buses, taxis, and rental cars to "get us around" once we settle into a campground?
 
By the way, we have enjoyed your newsletters and website.  The information is invaluable.  We have purchased some of your downloads and appreciate the work you have done to make our journey more enjoyable.

Speak Spanish - That Should be Your Goal!Free Spanish Lessons

Learn Spanish Today 

Can you Speak Spanish? How long have you been studying Spanish? Between high school classes, college classes and you own efforts you could easily have a couple years already under your belt. During this time you have likely built up a good Spanish vocabulary, along with a basic understanding of Spanish verb conjugation. But can you speak Spanish?

Why is speaking Spanish so hard? Would you feel comfortable approaching a native Spanish speaker and starting a conversation? Why not? Why is it so hard to speak Spanish even after years of study?

Beginning high school and college Spanish classes, as well as most self study Spanish courses start off by teaching vocabulary and verb conjugation. You practice speaking, but the focus is on the individual word or phrase. Lists of words are memorized and tests are given on verb conjugation. So when it comes time to speak, the words and phrases are separate in your mind. It becomes a matter of trying to pull all the pieces together and form them all into a sensible sentence, not just speaking.

The key to becoming more comfortable in speaking situations is to practice and learn the sentences as a whole, not in separate pieces. This way when you are trying to remember what to say, the whole sentence pops in your mind, not just one word. You will speak Spanish more correctly, more fluently and more confidently than ever before.

The Visual Link Spanish Course allows you to utilize this effective way of learning and practice speaking Spanish. In our free online demo lessons, you can see how we utilize these strategies to truly teach you to speak Spanish. You will be able to recall everything you learn and words will come into your mind as a complete sentence not separate individual words. You will already be on your way to speaking Spanish more fluently and more confidently.
