I was in Barra de Navidad and had a drink called a Dirty Monkey - I think it was changa souciou or something like that but can't find it.
Also, do you have any reccomendations for learning spanish in a certain dialect? (Jalisco) It seems there are many different ways to speak it that mean different things in different areas. I would like to concentrate on Jalisco.
Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure of the first word because the word for monkey is mono, simio, macaco, mico, antropoide. The second word should be sucio.

It means "mono sucio" in some countries chango = mono.
There are many ways of speaking the spanish language, I'm Bolivian, i speak spanish since i started to talk. when I'm with some friends from Colombia or Mexico somtimes I have to ask "What's that'". If you're trying to learn a language, I think it's better if you learn it from the core, without regionalisms or modisms.

Thank you Jorge,
When we were in Barra, our fishing guide Bernardo, said there are at least 6 distinct dialects in Mexico, and sometimes he does not understand what other Mexicans are saying. The difference of chongo=mono would be a good example. That is why I was thinking I should only concentrate on one area. But, there is much to learn just learning the core. Is this correct - today is trecera de febrero dos mil ocho. Domingo.

I'm sorry I didn't add a reply before, I was to busy.
OK, first, you're welcome, adn second the right way to use dates is:
today is feb. 13th 2008. = "hoy es trece de febrero de dos mil ocho"
In spanish we use cardinal numbers for dates, except the first day.
