Welcome to the forums! This is a good place to both improve your Spanish and help English learners with English.

Welcome, Alan, and you're in good company - I'd venture to say that's why we're all here. Good Luck!

Just for precision: "Lada" in Mexico, is the acronym for "larga distancia", so Hanita is talking about Mexico's long distance code.

You're welcome.

Some suggestions to make your text a little better:

Angelica so much (When you are talking about things that can become a plural, "many" is the right "mucho".) thanks!

Lol, "lada" is new for me, must confess I like it, "larga distancia" takes up too much energy to say
