En el estado norteamericano de Utah va a salir en venta un diario en castellano llamado El Observador.
El periódico se va a distribuir los martes, jueves y fines de semana con un tiraje de 25.000 ejemplares y de los cuales 15.000 serán vendidos en quioscos.
El Observador publicará noticias, como los demás diarios, pero en las ediciones de fin de semana el contenido va a ser acerca del entretenimiento y las familias.
Este periódico va a no solamente ayudar a los hispanohablantes, pero también a las personas que hablan el Español y lo quieran practicar.
Mafalda's Movie is composed of small animated shorts. Around 1973 the Mafalda cartoons stop publishing. As a result, Channel 11 in Argentina began broadcasting Mafalda Cartoons. Next, the movie came out in 1981 and later in other countries.
The 5 de Mayo of 1862 is not the Mexican Independance Day. The Mexican Independance Day is celebrated the15th of September of 1610.
According toMexican history the 5 de Mayo is about the French-Mexican War in which a poorly supplied and outnumbered Mexican army under General Ignacio Zaragoza defeats a French army attempting to capture Puebla de Los Angeles, a small town in east-central Mexico. Victory at the Battle of Puebla represented a great moral victory for the Mexican government, symbolizing the country's ability to defend its sovereignty against threat by a powerful foreign nation.
In 1861, the liberal Mexican Benito Juarez became president of a country in financial ruin, and he was forced to default on his debts to European governments. In response, France, Britain, and Spain sent naval forces to Veracruz to demand reimbursement. Britain and Spain negotiated with Mexico and withdrew, but France, ruled by Napoleon III, decided to use the opportunity to carve a dependent empire out of Mexican territory. Late in 1861, a well-armed French fleet stormed Veracruz, landing a large French force and driving President Juarez and his government into retreat.
Certain that French victory would come swiftly in Mexico, 6,000 French troops under General Charles Latrille de Lorencez set out to attack Puebla de Los Angeles. From his new headquarters in the north, Juarez rounded up a rag-tag force of loyal men and sent them to Puebla. Led by Texas-born General Zaragoza, the 2,000 Mexicans fortified the town and prepared for the French assault. On the fifth of May, 1862, Lorencez drew his army, well-provisioned and supported by heavy artillery, before the city of Puebla and began their assault from the north. The battle lasted from daybreak to early evening, and when the French finally retreated they had lost nearly 500 soldiers to the fewer than 100 Mexicans killed.
Although not a major strategic victory in the overall war against the French, Zaragoza's victory at Puebla tightened Mexican resistance, and six years later France withdrew. The same year, Austrian Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, who had been installed as emperor of Mexico by Napoleon in 1864, was captured and executed by Juarez' forces. Puebla de Los Angeles, the site of Zaragoza's historic victory, was renamed Puebla de Zaragoza in honor of the general. Today, Mexicans celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla as Cinco de Mayo, a national holiday in Mexico.
It is not that mexicans in the United States believe that they are celebrating an independance day, but that they celebrate this day to honorof those who died defending Puebla de Los Angeles, and in doing so, ensure the continuation of the Mexican resistance against the French forces. Here is a small clip I found in youtube:
Que vivan las mujeres que no escuchan canciones románticas y las que lloran con ellas también. Que vivan las mujeres que sueñan con dormir... y duermen. Que vivan las mujeres que apagan sesenta velas porque cumplieron sesenta años. Que vivan las mujeres que dejaron de ordenar las cosas que los demás desordenaron. Que vivan las mujeres que tiene hijos y las que los perdieron también. Que vivan ! Que vivan las mujeres que saben que un panguito nunca superara un pedazo de chocolate. Que vivan las mujeres que se atreven a vivir... que se atreven a vivir... ¡Que vivan!"Que vivan las mujeres que dejaron de preocuparse por lo que piensa el resto y que sin embargo sigue preocupándose de los demás.¡Que vivan las mujeres!¡Que vivan las mujeres!
Hello;
In this blog I wish to teach my first language Castellano or as many know it Spanish. We all speak Spanish, but use different words to refer to certain things. I find the same thing happening in the English Language. In the USA, we say the trunk of a car while in England is the boot. Hope you enjoy and learn at your own pace.
