Welcome to MND Tutor! This interactive learning tool is designed to help you improve your Spanish by exploring real news articles from Mexico News Daily. Instead of just memorizing vocabulary lists or grammar rules, you’ll dive into authentic stories about Mexican culture, current events, and daily

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year, Mexican style.

Mexican New Year’s Eve is a chaotic, joyfully superstitious whirlwind where families cram into kitchens, shout about missing grapes, and believe — deep down — that this is the year everything changes. From racing to eat 12 wish-filled grapes at midnight to choosing destiny-colored underwear (red for love, yellow for money, green for health, white for peace), the night turns superstition into a full-contact sport. People jog around the block with suitcases to “manifest” travel, burn stuffed año viejo dummies to torch bad vibes, feast on bacalao and tamales, then cry, laugh, and hug under explosive fireworks that light up every barrio and big city alike.

Dive into a joyous celebration and learn Spanish at the same time as we take a look at the first MND Tutor of 2026!
