Answer 1

I think that the best way (if you are already fluent in Spanish) would be to go to or rent some Mexican movies. Here in California it's easy. You don't have to rent movies.There are so many Mexicans to talk to that one picks up their accent without even trying. The way I talk now one would never guess that I'm Spanish. I don't even remember Spanish slang any more. I have been completely Mexicanized. Los Angeles has the second highest Mexican population. Second only to Mexico City. (La Ciudad de México.)

Answer 2

lol and don't drink their cocktails they'll go to your head! - FELIZ77, Nov 1, 2014
