  • Corridos Tumbados in 2026: Lyrics, Culture, and Real Mexican Spanish

    Corridos Tumbados in 2026: Lyrics, Culture, and Real Mexican Spanish
    Jan 28 2026
    In this fully bilingual (Spanish/English) episode of Your Mexican Friend, Carlos shares an updated 2026 guide to corridos tumbados and Regional Mexican music: what the label really means today (because it has become a whole “universe” of styles), why the genre keeps growing globally, and what the most common lyric themes are—status and aspiration, loyalty to your inner circle, romance and heartbreak, and also the more controversial side in certain subgenres. The episode also includes a short language breakdown using a brief snippet from a popular lyric to help you understand real-world Spanish (register, casual vocabulary, and a more neutral equivalent). It closes with practical tips so you can use this music as a learning tool without messing up: how to choose songs based on your level, how to learn complete phrases, and how to separate “slang to understand” from “slang to say” depending on the context.

  • Entrenar con dolor: conversación en español para estudiantes intermedios y avanzados

    Entrenar con dolor: conversación en español para estudiantes intermedios y avanzados
    Jan 26 2026
    El dolor crónico cambia la forma en que te mueves, comes y piensas… pero no siempre tiene que controlar tu vida. En este episodio 100% en español, enfocado en estudiantes intermedios y avanzados, hablo con Tom Pfeiffer, personal trainer y chronic pain coach en Williamsburg, Brooklyn, sobre cómo entrenar sin miedo cuando hay dolor, por qué dejar de moverte muchas veces empeora la situación y qué papel juega la alimentación en la recuperación. Platicamos de mitos comunes sobre el dolor, del famoso “no pain, no gain”, de cómo la relación con la comida puede ayudar o sabotear tu progreso, y de por qué la constancia suele ser más importante que la dieta o el entrenamiento perfectos. Si estás aprendiendo español y te interesa el fitness, la salud o entender mejor tu cuerpo sin extremos ni promesas mágicas, este episodio es para ti.

  • Spanish for Daily Life: Conversations You’ll Actually Use (B1)

    Spanish for Daily Life: Conversations You’ll Actually Use (B1)
    Jan 23 2026
    In this episode of Your Mexican Friend, you’ll practice real-life Spanish through natural conversations designed for B1-level learners.
    The episode is mostly spoken in Spanish, with occasional English support only to provide clear instructions or brief context. This is not textbook Spanish, but the kind of Spanish people actually use in everyday life in Mexico. Throughout the episode, you’ll hear common situations such as:
    • Shopping for clothes
    • Asking for information about a tour in Mexico
    • A conversation between friends talking about their past vacations
    The goal is to listen first, then repeat out loud, and gradually get used to the rhythm, pronunciation, and expressions of everyday Spanish. At the end of each dialogue, you’ll find comprehension questions to help you check how much you understood and reinforce your learning.
