I learned this one from Leidys

When you have fewer words in a language, they must mean multiple things.
A morning will come tomorrow, but if it is morning now, then it must be 'today'!
Buenos Dias, good days... let the good times roll! |
Morning = Almanecer
Hence, 'Mañana, temprano" = Tomorrow, early
Mañana, en el almanecer = Tomorrow, in the morning
Un almanecer puede llegar mañana, pero, si hoy es el almanecer, debe seria hoy = A morning will come tomorrow, but if it is morning now, then it must
be 'today'.
The problem with visiting pueblos and backcountry spots, is that your better Spanish grammar is not observed nor practiced regularly.
Case in point, I make it a point to eavesdrop on 'Mejicanos' whenever Leidys and I got shopping, to ask if they way something was said is grammatical
or not? For example, the Castillian Spanish heard in South America is comparable to the Queen's English heard anywhere outside of the United States.
I consider myself a student and not a master of the Spanish language, so I always ask those raised with the Spanish language for pointers and examine
its use in order to make my Spanish more grammatical.

I'd love to take my Jeep up to Alaska for some 1st class summertime exploring, too! My Wife has really helped me along with my Spanish. Its nearly
impossible trying to learn Spanish in a sidewalk cafe, ordering Tacos y Champurrada. I think the best way is for someone to help you on a daily
basis. After 2-3 yrs., you'll definitely be on your way.

As a native Spanish/castellano speaker a lot has to do with the differences and similarities between both forms of Spanish.
http://www.spainexpat.com/spain/information/castillian_spani...
In some countries we mix both forms as we see appropriate for the situation.

I see that Ken tried to show you how to make an ñ,
Let me say it differently: With the left hand finger, press and hold down the 'Alt' key at the bottom left. At the same time, using your right hand
finger, press on the right keyboard: 1-6-4 then release the Alt key.... ñ If you want a big one, it is 1-6-5 : Ñ

In Los Barriles, we are looking to get native speakers to teach us how they talk. Remember, most did not go all the way through the education process
and may not know all of the verb tenses. However, they know how they talk and I want to know how they do it so I can listen to it. Have any of you
been succesful in doing this?

I was at a grocery store, and a woman used an incorrect past tense verb form. I was puzzled, and immediately asked my Wife if there was an exception
to the rule?? She told me that this woman must have grown up speaking Spanish wrong her entire life.
example: Me hablo por telefono ayer.
The speaker said, "Hablo" instead of "Hable". I told my Wife, "This is why it can be so difficult to learn to speak Spanish - because, you might
practice with someone who insists of speaking it incorrectly."

I have been told repeatedly that Mexico City is where the standard Mexican-Spanish language is spoken correctly. Regional variations exist, but for
the standard form, the educated come from or were educated in Districto Federal, or Mexico City.

Ken: algunas clarificaciones para tí.
Dawn, daybreak = el amanecer (you’ve got an “l” that is extra in the word).
Mañana al amanecer = tomorrow at dawn / early tomorrow / tomorrow when (I, you, etc…) get up.
And a very common question in Baja and beyond, asked of a person as a first greeting: ¿Cómo amaneció (amaneciste)? Literally “how did you wake up?”,
but meant more like “How are you this morning?”
And some other info:
por la mañana = in the morning.
Mañana por la mañana = Tomorrow morning
Saludos :-)

Muchas gracias por sus clarificaciones. No he visto una sala de linguaje hasta 1994, y por eso, necesito la ayuda de Profesores para entender las
variadades que encuentro diariamente. 1994 - 2012 = 18 years!?! How did this amount of time go so fast??

No recuerdo. ¿Han pasado 18 años? ¡Híjole! 
Y debe ser:
"No he visto una sala de idiomas desde 1994..."
