- Mexican Slang.
Good day. I'm about to reach 2 years tutoring spanish on Italki, and one of the things that I noticed, since almost the beginning, is that a lot of my students were very interested on mexican slang.
A few months ago, I started gathering info on the topic, to more easily share and explain this words to the people I tutor, because even the ones that were already very good at spanish, had trouble with this, because its not the kind of stuff you learn in regular spanish lessons.
Right now the content is a little "raw". What i mean its I was just brainstorming, and wrote the stuff quickly, but its understandable, and readable, just be aware it has some typos and grammar mistakes that will be corrected eventually, when I reach my goal of 200+ posts.
Right now I have 100+ words and phrases, covering all kind of topics. A lot of this words are considered vulgar, swearing or extremely informal, so I dont recommend to use all you see here in social gatherings, Its just a tool for knowing what people are really saying.

I hope it can be useful to the people learning spanish, and the ones interested on Mexican and latin american culture.August 28, 201723 El uso normal de jalar, como ya sabes por tu historia es el verbo "pull" en ingles.
Tirar lo usamos como el verbo "throw", pero tambien es slang para el acto sexual en algunas partes de latinoamerica.
En el slang Mexicano moderno, jalar puede significar varias cosas, como trabajar, hacer esfuerzo, ir y venir a algun lado, segun el contexto.
¿Vas a jalar?/are you coming? depending on the context can also mean, are you in your way to job? or are you working today?
Jalense/ come over (more than 1 person)
Yo jalo/ I’m going
Jalate/come over (1 person)
Voy al jale/Im going to my job.0 votedJuly 27, 20170- En el borrador del articulo, tenia mas información sobre el significado de "coger" en México y latinoamerica, pero fue modificado a la hora de publicarlo por el staff de Italki. Gracias por el aporte Carmén, yo conozco una historia parecida, con la palabra "chingar", creo que voy a agregar esta historia a mi blog, en el que explico la jerga mexicana.

From accents to local slang, Spanish is spoken differently in different countries. That makes a great excuse for kicking back with a stack of movies from around the Spanish speaking world. Try this author's suggestions for a broader view of this diverse language.

July 10, 20171 - Si hablas de la diferencia entre "tu" y "usted", se trata de niveles de formalidad, o respeto. Cuando usas "usted" hablas con mas respeto o gerarquia hacia la persona, como un maestro, un jefe o un superior, mientras "tu" es una manera informal, que usarias con algun familiar o amigo0 votedJanuary 8, 20162
