The only thing I know about mexicans is that you shouldnt ever ask where to "take" (coger) the bus, 'cause they'll tell you the best place would be at the back, through the exhaust [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I studied in Sevilla, and the local accent there is also considered as an insult to Spanish, a rude accent for peasants. So just to be on the safe side, the last month I had to dump the accent I tried so hard to learn, to improve my chances for the exam

But aside from the accents, I think mexican and spanish differ a little anyway,.. I was told that if I wanted to go to mexico, taking a course there would be better, as some words dont exist in Spain's Spanish,.. and the grammar is different at certain points as well..

Anyway, the Mexican accent takes a steady 2nd place, behind my personal favourite, the Cuban-accent.
Helping you was my pleasure, as I'm struggling to keep my newly acquired language alive now that I'm back
So thank you !
