>>Hugo,

>>You mean that Mexicans speak Spanish too? :). I would love to get together. But to be honest, and I hope you understand, I always feel like I am imposing on when speaking with bilingual people in Spanish (since I have to ask them to speak slower) and it is much easier for you to talk to me in English. The advantage of meeting people who speak no English (and this couple from Buenos Aires are older people, relatives of my sister-in-law) is that I am sure they would have no problem speaking slower since my Spanish is much better than their English :).

>>Speaking about Spanish and Argentina, I love Argentinian movies. I have several Spanish movie channels that I subscribe to which gives me an opportunity to see some good movies.

>It is evident that you never heard me speaking in English, not even my daughter understands me! Furthermore, the mother of 2 of my Mexican friends is from England, she lived in Mexico long enough to be bilingual, and she confessed that when we are speaking in Spanish, she can understand everyone but me! So I even suck in my native tongue!!

Then you must be in, what is called, "no-man's land"; somewhere between English and Spanish. Hopefully some day we will have the battle of the languages :).
