This week Jim and May cover an interesting topic, Jesús Malverde, better known as a saint of the narcos, or drug traffickers in Mexico. 

Malverde, who many people pray to, is not in fact recognized by the Catholic Church like most saints, but a saint that people come to in a time of need for not necessarily “pious” matters. It’s grown to be a cultural thing. 

Check out the episode to learn more about Malverde and the story of his supposed assassination.

Ok, so you’re having a conversation in your target language. What's the most necessary component of conversation?

Having an extensive vocabulary? Understanding how grammar works? Perfect pronunciation? Or maybe….comprehension!

Jim and May agree that comprehension is what’s most important because if you don’t understand what someone is asking you, you can’t even begin to reply!

This week they go over a bunch of ways to improve comprehension.

Most of the time, we think of people moving to the US to see their “American Dream” fulfilled.

But more and more, people are leaving places like the US and Canada for countries with a lower cost of living. Like Mexico!
