Guest Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 You could teach the children a few common words in Mexican to use across the day: Yes = Si (see) No = No Please = Por favor Thank you = gracias (gra.syas) Hello = Buen dia (bwen dee.a) Goodbye = adios Let me know if you need other words/numbers/days, etc. I have a handy book as I'm off to Mexico in July for a friend's wedding (can't wait!) Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
