That is a pretty good question although a very open ended question. It is good that you are interested in the culture as well as the language. Having lived in a foreign country, I had the opportunity to learn and understand a little bit the importance of cultural awareness. Do you have some particular areas/subjects about which you would like to learn the associated cultural aspects? I am guessing that, because of the wide range of countries where Spanish is spoken, that there is some variety in the cultural details.
BTW, the people on this forum like proper grammar, spelling and capitalization to be used.
In Colombia and other latin american countries, a traditional Christmas dinner is eaten on Christmas eve.
En Colombia y otros países latinoamericanos, una tradicional cena de Navidad se consume en Nochebuena.
"Ahora" does often not mean "now"
Comer doce 12 uvas en Nochevieja para buena suerte.
Eating 12 grapes on New Year's Eve for good luck.
How about kissing as a greeting? I understand that varies by country in how widely used and the style.
Bullfighting is certainly one of the best-known-although at the same time most controversial-Spanish popular customs.
Corridas de toros es sin duda uno de los best-conocidas-aunque en las costumbres populares de mismo tiempo más controvertido-español.
Sorry if there is any mistake in the Spanish translation.
