curanderos: healers Healers, or Shamans are called in Spanish curanderos or brujos. People think they can cross over to and manipulate the spiritual world, either for good or for evil. It is believed that diseases are caused by a disequilibrium, and that in order to heal them, shamans have to enter into a trance in order to travel to the spiritual world. Here's an example of it used in a sentence: El curandero compró hierbas en el mercado. (The healer purchased herbs in the market.) Want to learn more about Mexican culture?

Speaking is usually the #1 weakness for all Spanish learners. This is a common issue among language learners everywhere. The reason for this is obvious: When language learners first start learning a language, they usually start with reading. They read online articles, books, information on apps and so on. If they take a class, they spend 20% of their time repeating words, and 80% of the time reading the textbook, doing homework or just listening to a teacher. So, if you spend most of your time reading instead of speaking, you might get better at reading but your speaking skills never grow. You get better at what you focus on. So if you want to improve you speaking skills, you need to spend more of your study time on speaking. Here are... Show more

farmacias: pharmacies Mexican pharmacies or farmacias sell most of their medicines without a prescription or receta; only specific medications such as antibiotics or drugs that cause dependence cannot be bought over-the-counter.

Here are the useful phrases that you can use at a Mexican pharmacy. ¿Tiene este medicamento? (Do you have this medication?) ¿Necesito receta? (Do I need a prescription?) ¿Puedo... Show more
