I have trouble finding Spanish music I like. I tried listening to covers of my favorite music but I kind of hate them. Like, the song doesn't sound good to me language wise and it frustrates me bc I listen to Portuguese music and Asian music more frequently. I just don't know any entertainment/social media that can help me practice w my Spanish. I've tried looking up yters but they are normally beauty bloggers or vloggers.(not my thing).

Danny Ocean - Me rehúso

Mexican Slang: Los Mexicanismos
Lately I’ve been watching a lot of Papá a Toda Madre (a Mexican telenovela that I totally recommend), so I thought it’d be a good idea to share some mexicanismos that I’ve come across in the show. Enjoy ~
chambear | to work ; la chamba | work. “voy a encontrar chamba, no te preocupes mi amor.”
la neta | truth. “dime la neta, Toño!” it’s also used to talk about something that’s the shit, the real deal.
güey | means ‘dude’, but can also be used to call someone a fool. “cálmate, güey, no es mi culpa.”
el chamaco | slang for kid. “¿esta chamaca es muy inteligente, verdad?”
la alberca | mexican word for swimming pool.
¡no manches! | used to express suprise or disbelief, kind of like ‘no way’. “van a vender la empresa, güey. -no manches, ¿qué vamos a hacer?”
chingüetas | used to express discontent; a mild word for ‘fuck’. “¡chingüetas, vamos a perder el autobús!”
la chela | slang for beer. “quieres tomar unas chelas con nosotros?”
la carcacha | a car that’s run-down or in very bad shape.
el changarro | a small store or stand. “hay un changarro de tamales a la vuelta de la esquina.”
la chava | used to mean ‘chick’. “Valentina, esa es la chava con quién se fue mi papá?”
el cuate | buddy, friend. “voy a salir a beber con mis cuates ahorita.”
mugre | literally means dirt or filth, but is used to call insult sth or call sth worthless. “mugre chava, ¡me está poniendo los cuernos con mi primo!”
types of study breaks for every situation
if you realize you’ve been studying for hours: grab a snack to refuel your body and watch a sitcom to refuel your brain. then back to the books.
if you’re feeling stressed out: take some deep breaths, text your friends, maybe stare at a wall for a few minutes. gather yourself.
if you can’t seem to focus: get moving and get outside. take out the garbage, check your mail box, maybe walk your dog. just get moving and get fresh air. it’ll help bring you back.
if there’s something else going on in your life and you can’t get it off your mind: write down what’s going through your head, sort of like a diary entry. it’ll help you work things out.
if you’re just mentally and physically exhausted: set a timer for 25-30 minutes and take a nap. any longer and you’ll hit REM and you’ll wake up feeling just as tired. once you wake up, get some caffeine in you.
if the material is boring as hell: find another way to study. see if there’s a crash course video online about it or draw out what you’re trying to learn in diagrams and pictures to make it fun.
if people around you won’t shut up: listen to some music. soundtrack and classical music is always good because they won’t absorb you as much as music with lyrics. white noise (like ocean waves, rain sounds, etc.) also works.
if you only half understand a concept: call/message a friend who’s not in the class and try to teach the material to them. this will help you mentally work through the material and will help you remember it as well.
