I want to acknowledge all interpreters and translators who
attended the continuing education class “Let’s Talk Mexican’

have been made possible.
I want to particularly thank, from the bottom of my heart,
the support and collaboration of Cristina Oliva and Silvia
Behar for their revisions and copyediting, as well as Pedro
Molinero for his design and page layout work.
