Ah, ok thanks that is interesting. I am aware of the bilingual environment of the US border cities/towns. It is true on both sides of the border. Many differences in this type of Spanish when apposed to base Latin American Spanish.

@Difintur: The language doesn't change. It's only colloquialisms that change. Some uses of language are also influenced by the indigenous groups that speak another mother tongue than Spanish, but you can understand and be understood by any Spanish-speaker in Mexico.

Además de estar en México mucho he estado en Cuba dos veces. Cuba es de 600 millas de largo y he estado en casi todas partes de Cuba a lo largo de esos 600 millas en carro/coche desde la Habana a Santiago. Después de pasar dos semanas en Santiago volví a la Habana con algunos parientes y tenía un fuerte relazation de la deferencia del acento entre los dos puntos extremos de Cuba. México es mucho más grande que Cuba por lo que tiene aún más cambios en el acento. Todo esto pasa en todos los paises del mundo. Por mi es la cosa mas interesante del los idiomas y sobre todo con el español. Hay por lo menos 21 countries de habla hispana asi que imaginate todo la variedad de como es hablando el español. Sin embargo es basicamente el mismo idioma en todas partes. So I'm just talking about the changes in the accent above all and not the changing to another language. All so social classes speak differently in any language. A Harvard graduate for an extreme example is going to speak English very differently than a person who has never been to school or doesn't know how to read. Same thing of course with Spanish. This is why I like to watch the Mexican novelas because they show all these differences in how people speak the Spanish language. Besides living and going to school in Mexico I have been to Cuba two times. Cuba is a small island 600 miles long but I was very surprised at how different the people in Cuba speak from one extreme end of the island to the other. I noticed it as much as somebody might notice the difference between the accent of Mexico and Argentina. There are 21 Spanish speaking countries in the world. Each one of these countries as a variation of how Spanish is spoken(accent above all but colloquialism too) even within each country so just imagine the rich and interesting ways Spanish is spoken. All this is why I like the Spanish language all the more. Last edited by Villa; August 14, 2013 at 11:18 AM. |

I'm 99.% sure the Spanish word 'ruca' means hut.
Well, a place I go to practise Spanish is called 'la ruca/the hut'. XD. |

The word 'ruca' has several meanings. A good dictionary will help you to see this. All the other meanings given were correct. So is yours.
Many words have more than one meaning, in most languages. The meaning you're using only works in certain contexts. If you use it in other contexts, it doesn't mean the same thing. |

Hiii! As I told you before, I did hear about it and I had seen it but I didn't know about the war you wrote about. Personally, I love it, but of course I love my native language that, as you notice, isn't English. Thanks a lot. |
