El Día de los Muertos

El Día de los muertos se celebra el 1 y el 2 de noviembre.

For Mexicans, death is another stage of life; it is not something we have to fear. Even though their loved ones left for the earth, their souls will remain here forever.

Day of the Dead is a funny and colourful celebration, where people honour and remember their beloved relatives who passed away.

Likes and Dislikes

To say we like something in Spanish, we use the verb GUSTAR.

The structure of the sentence is different than in English, it is backwards, we could translate it literally as “something is pleasant to me”. Ejemplo: Me gusta el tenis (Tenis is pleasant to me), Me gustan los gatos (Cats are pleasant to me).

For the negative sentence, just write “no” at the beginning of the sentence. Ejemplo: No me gustan las zanahorias (I don’t like carrots).

Use GUSTA when:

•the thing you like is an action: Me gusta montar a caballo (I like riding horses)
•the thing you like is singular: Me gusta mucho el café (I like coffee very much)

Use GUSTAN when:

•the thing you like is plural: Me gustan los gatos.

Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month begins on September 15, the anniversary of independence for five Latin American countries—Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico declared its independence on September 16, and Chile on September 18.

In Mexico DF, every September 15 at 11pm the President delivers "el grito" or cry of independence.
This ritual recreates the moment in which Father Hidalgo, the heroe of the independence, gathered his followers in Dolores Guanajuato.
2010 is a special year, because Mexico celebrates 200 years of independence from Spain.
