Our Mestizo Mexico: Out with the Traumas!

In his latest blog post, Carlos Brito opens up a necessary conversation about Mexican identity, history, and the scars left by the Conquest 500 years ago.

Following recent political debates that attempt to romanticize colonization, Brito argues that it's time for Mexico to move past historical traumas and embrace its true identity: a vibrant, inseparable blend of both Mesoamerican and Hispanic worlds—the México mestizo.

But healing the past also means taking responsibility for the present. The article sheds light on a crucial pending task: historical justice, classism, and the reality facing indigenous communities today.

Today, May 15th, is Día del Maestro (Teacher’s Day) in Mexico! 🇲🇽✨

At IDEAL Spanish Mexico, we know that learning a language is so much more than just memorizing grammar and vocabulary. It’s about diving into the living, breathing culture behind every word. And who guides our students through that beautiful journey? Our incredible teachers! 💙

Today, we want to say a massive THANK YOU to our wonderful faculty—past and present—who make IDEAL the absolute best place to learn Spanish. We also want to honor the amazing visiting teachers who bring their student groups to Mexico, working tirelessly to create life-changing experiences.

Nuestro México mestizo ¡Fuera traumas!

Otra vez en México se vuelve a hablar de la llamada “Conquista de México” por parte de Hernán Cortés; esto es debido a la polémica visita a México de la presidenta de la Comunidad de Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, un personaje destacado de la derecha española. En su visita, Díaz Ayuso trató de reivindicar el papel de Hernán Cortés y la colonización de México. Ella habló de ese episodio de la historia como una aventura civilizatoria, que se debe entender como un acto de amor y no de odio.

En IDEAL Spanish Mexico estamos a favor de una reconciliación con nuestra historia, y justicia para los indígenas contemporáneos.

¡Es verdad! ¡Está lloviendo!

While our students dive deep into the nuances of Spanish grammar and the intricate layers of Mexican history, we also recognize the importance of hitting the “pause” button. One of our favorite ways to do this is by taking a trip to one of Morelos’ most stunning natural treasures: Las Estacas.
