    In the western area of the U.S, the most common Spanish speakers are Mexican, making their food the most prevalent. This has created a disconnect in the minds of the residents because they automatically assume any Spanish person or Latin food they come across is automatically from Mexico. In reality, Mexican food is uniquely known for its heavy use of spice and the main ingredient in their dishes, is corn. Even the candy is coated in a layer of chili. In an article with detailed facts about Mexico it is stated “Mexican candy is not only a piece of Mexican food, but also a piece of Mexican art. The “Calaveras de Azúcar”, or sugar skulls, are specially prepared for the Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead” (Mexican Food 7). Dominican or Puerto Rican however, have a strong Caribbean influence so their food is more focused on flavor then spice. The island herbs are combined into a paste called sofrito, the main seasoning that makes their food so distinguishable. Other popular foods are mango and plantains, the green banana. Spain, the country that every other one is supposed to have descended from, would not be seen as typical Spanish food. The people eat in small portions called Tapas that contain a huge amount of sea food because of the ports all around the country. Just by looking at how drastically different the foods of some of the countries are, it is hard to…

    Dominican Republic wins overwhelmingly on United State on lifestyles. In my country you wake up and its music everywhere in contrast with this country. You walk out of your house and everybody have loud music, giving you salutes, knowing all the peoples of your neighborhood. Compared to United States, where you don’t even know your next door neighbors, it’s a big contrast, you can live in the same place for years and you haven’t fraternize with nobody else that your landlord. Dominicans are always happy, smiling and making jokes, dissimilar to Americans that not even smile at you when you walk to them in the supermarket. We love to dance on the street; we even have a song that says that, unlike USA, that if you’re dancing on the street you become a parade for other people. We love our culture and we’re very knowledge of our own history.…

    Learning the Spanish language provides insight on the culture of different places around the world. By learning Spanish, we learn and can understand their culture. Also, learning Spanish provides another way for Christians to communicate and spread the gospel. WIthout learning spanish, we would be unable to communicate with other countries about Christianity, which is our main purpose on earth. In Latin America it is normal to call Spanish, castellano. Latin Americans do not use vosotros. Instead they use ustedes because it is more formal. People from spain, on the other hand, do use vosotros. For some different objects, the names are different. For example, a pen is boligrafo in Spain, but lapiz pasta in Chile.…

    I am a proud Hispanic, but I believe that if I were living in a different city I don’t think I would have had the opportunity to speak Spanish as my first language. Not only were my parents born in Mexico, but my grandparents as well. In order to communicate with my family and others around me, it became so important that I learn Spanish as my first language even though I would attend school in El Paso. In El Paso, 82.2% of the population is Hispanic. I believe this is what makes it so crucial for me to speak the language of the country that borders my city. With so many different people I encounter every day, majority speak Spanish and as I continue to grow, it will continue to be a part of who I am.…
