Cantinflas

I am busy immersing myself in the world of Cantinflas (Mario Moreno) via You Tube. These movies go all the way back to the late 30's, and the last one was 1981! I am experiencing Mexican Spanish as spoken by Moreno and friends, as it developed through decades of the 20th century. This experience would have been unbelievable back in the 70's when I first struggled to learn Spanish.  Back then, it was almost impossible to find (affordable) sources of spoken Spanish, and I did not live in an area where Spanish was spoken. I could not travel to a Spanish speaking country or area. All I had was books and I was determined to learn! But it was slow going.

I really love this Cantinflas trip.
