Is this correct?

Is this correct?
 
Is this sentence correct?

Me gusta latinas mujeres

or would it be:

Me gusta latina mujeres

or

Me gustas latinas mujeres

???

It would be: Me gustan las mujeres latinas.

The verb gustar is a "backwards" verb. You will get it right if you think of it as meaning "to be pleasing to me" instead of "to like"

So:

Me gusta comer carne. I like to eat meat (It is pleasing to me to eat meat)
Me gustan las mujeres. I like women. (Women are pleasing to me)
(Tu) me gustas (a mí). I like you (You are pleasing to me)
Te gusto? Do you like me? (Am I pleasing to you?)

Hope that helps.

Those backwards verbs are the ones that always get me. I can't seem to understand how they work but thanks fro the examples. 8)

Do you think this would make a good topic for a quick tutorial?

A tutorial would be very useful. I often get confused with that.
