Add Mexico to the Regional Series

[rodney]

I'm actually quite shocked Mexico isn't already included in the Regional Series. Any plans on adding Mexico anytime soon?

Not in the immediate future, but we have considered it seriously and have been developing a couple of different strategies to get a Mexican team up and running. For now, our priority is the Intermediate Series.

Any updates on when or if we'll be getting a Mexico series anytime soon?

Rodney,

Thanks for keeping up on this thread. Seeing that we have temporarily put the Regional Series on hold, Mexico is unfortunately on hold too.

I agree with you, though, I want to learn more about Mexican Spanish. When I hear Ana make a reference to it, in a Lower or Upper Intermediate Lesson, I always wish she would go on more to learn more about her culture.

Here's an option. In Upper Intermediate Lesson 6-10, the Lesson Conversation is about disputes in literature, and one of the main characters is from Spain, while the other is from Perú. Naturally, this makes for a great situation to talk about preferences and idiosyncrasies. What I'm wondering is if it would be helpful to create conversations for Lessons 11-15 in a Mexican context, or in a context in which there is at least one Mexican...? While this wouldn't be a properly "Mexican" lesson, I'm sure it would give Ana a chance to talk some more about how Mexican Spanish differs from other regional forms. What do you think?

I think that's a great idea!
