Check out Mexico Bob, an ex-pat living in Mexico. His popular blog is a delight.

He's fascinated with language and details his adventures in mastering Spanish. His humorous dialogs are one of the best features. They deal with ordinary events - ordering in a restaurant, shopping, getting a hair cut, an appointment with a dentist.

The style of writing is often playful, but what comes through is a man who's the best type of "foreigner in a strange land." He's passionately dedicated to learning the culture, respecting it, enjoying it, and most of all, avoiding entirely the stereotype of the so-called "ugly American." In that, he succeeds by any measure.

Here is the direct link: Mexico Bob

Isn't Mexico Bob great? As you know, he also has a book (or books) published for people who don't have easy access to computers!

Hey Volpon, I added the direct link for you. I think that will increase the likelihood that people will check the site out.

I always appreciate any new sites dealing with Spanish. So muchas gracias mi amigo.

Thanks, Nicole. For some odd reason, my "Answer" screen has blank boxes where that function is. (Also missing is strong text, italics, etc.) May I ask a favor? Could you check out another site I also posted this morning and add a link? - 0057ed01, Jan 27, 2010
My post's title starts with "Here's an excellent free site..." And is is, ever! Thanks. - 0057ed01, Jan 27, 2010
Sure thing Volpon! Have you tried other browsers? That has to be your problem. - Nicole-B, Jan 27, 2010

I changed the title from "Ever Visit Mexico Bob?" It was not drawing the views this helpful, amusing site merits.

His site is fun, inspirational, and very down to earth, especially in the way he presents his "journey" into mastering Spanish.

You'll leave smiling and with new language skills you can use. Guaranteed.
