  • Why Mexico Loves Lucha Libre (and Why the World Does Too)

    Why Mexico Loves Lucha Libre (and Why the World Does Too)
    Jan 13 2026
    In this fully bilingual (Spanish/English) episode of Your Mexican Friend, Carlos takes you through the magic, the myth, and the business of Lucha Libre—from its modern origins in 1933 with Salvador Lutteroth and the birth of what we now know as CMLL, to its massive boom in the 1950s thanks to television. You’ll meet the legendary icons who shaped Mexico’s cultural identity—El Santo, Blue Demon, and Mil Máscaras—and discover why Lucha Libre is far more than a sport: it’s a universal story of the Técnico vs. the Rudo, a collective emotional release inside the arena, and a powerful symbol of identity and resilience. Carlos also breaks down the modern scene: CMLL vs. AAA (tradition and classic technique vs. spectacle and drama), and how Lucha Libre has become a global phenomenon through major international connections with AEW, WWE, and NJPW. Plus, you’ll get essential arena vocabulary so you can understand the energy and the chants. The episode closes with one clear idea: Lucha Libre reflects Mexico—colorful, loud, and always ready to rise after a fall.

  • Listening – Comprehension: Daily Life in Mexico

    Listening – Comprehension: Daily Life in Mexico
    Jan 8 2026
    This listening episode (A1–A2 level) is narrated by Carlos and introduces learners to a typical day in Mexico and how people get around in everyday life. First, Carlos describes his daily routine. He wakes up early, prepares coffee, and has a simple breakfast with common foods such as eggs and tortillas. Then, he talks about leaving home to work or study. Carlos explains that in Mexico the main meal of the day is usually eaten between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m., and it often includes rice, beans, chicken or meat, and almost always salsa. In the evening, people relax, watch TV or listen to music, and get ready to sleep. Next, the episode focuses on transportation in Mexico. Carlos explains that in big cities like Mexico City, many people use public transportation, especially the subway and buses, which can be very crowded during rush hour. He also mentions that driving a car can be difficult because of heavy traffic. In smaller cities and towns, people often walk, ride bicycles, or use local taxis. The episode ends by highlighting that at night transportation is calmer and it is a good time to rest after a long day.

  • If you’re learning Mexican Spanish… travel to Mexico (and here’s why).

    If you’re learning Mexican Spanish… travel to Mexico (and here’s why).
    Jan 6 2026
    In this episode of Your Mexican Friend, Carlos explores how traveling can transform the way you learn a language, not only through practice, but through the mindset shift it creates. He explains that traveling turns the language into a real-life tool: you’re no longer speaking “to practice,” you’re speaking to handle everyday situations like ordering food, asking for directions, or introducing yourself. Throughout the episode, Carlos shows how this kind of exposure helps you tolerate the discomfort of making mistakes, build confidence, and understand that the goal is communication, not perfection. He also explains that language sticks better when it connects to emotions and real experiences: you don’t just remember words, you remember moments. In addition, he shares practical recommendations to make the most of a trip: preparing useful phrases before leaving, focusing on listening and observing how people actually speak, choosing natural interactions in markets and small cafés, and not relying on English all the time. Finally, he gives tips to keep your progress after returning home by using the language in your routine and revisiting the trip through writing, speaking, and related content. The final message: traveling isn’t required, but it can be a powerful part of the journey because it turns language into something you live, not just study.
