Follow along and see how much of this you can understand.


Live television is another great way to gain exposure to the language of Spanish.

Miss Mexico will be a representative to her people and to others who hear, speak, and understand Spanish.

If you don't watch pageants in general, I urge you to watch some of the program at least to gain an understanding about how world cultures come together in unity for a common purpose.

These occasions are rare and few, but with the advent of the internet and global communication, we should expect it even the more.

A lot of the time, spanish language stations broadcast in Spanish, so viewers have a choice to view either in English or in Spanish.

One year, I watched it in Spanish, and it was wonderful to view the contagious excitement of people who are biased toward the delegates from their areas. Watching in English often gives you the Western perspective and fans of the USA, although at times, subjective, eventually find themselves caught up in the excitement revolving the women who are representing the world.

The pageant is a fun way to keep abreast of the world and practice languages.
