We both survived, haha! The book is "Uno soñaba que era rey" by Enrique Serna. It's a tantalizing glimpse into the realities of Mexican society, with chapters written in "barrio" Spanish, "fresa" Spanish, and everything in between. Everything by Serna is excellent, btw. Thanks so much for the tip 🤗

Thanks for watching, Brian 🤗

@@spanishunraveled so whats the best way to focus just on Mexican Spanish?

Glad you enjoyed it 🤗

@@spanishunraveled Slang can be a hot topic.

@@Rev14v7 Indeed ;)

Mil gracias por vernos, Kevin 🤗

Yes, we won't be doing another chili challenge, that's for sure 🤗

She survived ;)

Thanks, Joe 🤗

Yay, so glad you enjoyed it :)

Yep, that would actually be more appropriate if you were speaking to someone older than you :) We didn't go into all the nuances in this video, but will make one on "tú" + "usted" v.soon. As an aside, I'd say the easiest + possibly the best option in Mexico is "¿A cómo están las manzanas?"

Hey Andres :) We haven't actually done one on "echar" yet, but will 100% do one in the very near future!

Your comment doesn't even make sense, mate

Hey Andres :) 'Fueron' is in the 'ustedes' (or formal you plural) form here. Hope that helps 🤗

@@spanishunraveled muchas gracias !

Thanks so much, and welcome to the channel! Yep, you're going to hear "ya" all the time, no matter which Spanish-speaking country you're in 🤗

Haha, thanks so much :) I think we all just appreciate languages (and learning in general!) more when we're older

Muchas gracias 🤗

Hey David :) I don't think so! Chat GPT says the following: "Pachuco" refers to a cultural and fashion movement that emerged in the Mexican-American communities in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Would that make more sense?

Hey Jim :) Sería "cuántas tomarías"... ojalá que fuera verdad ;)

Thanks so much! Un abrazo desde México 🤗 ​

Hey :) You could just say "no me hace falta." There's no need for an additional pronoun as the thing that's needed or lacking is already implied in the structure

Gracias, Sonny 😃 Y sí, ya no estoy castigado ;)

Hola :) Sí, son buenos ejemplos, pero el verbo en esas oraciones es "tocar" y no "tocarle". En "No vayas a tocarle el hocico al perro," el "le" funciona como un complemento indirecto, refiriéndose al perro 🤗
