I want to move to a spanish speaking country. Low budget.
I have worked woth immigrints from México and heard their stories. But they are from Chiapas.
Anyway. I am hispanic and latino but i am less indigenous. Probably about only 6 percent. But the typical educated person can tell because of my facial features but my skin is light but i can get tan. But i dont speak much Spanish. And i dont want to be mistaken for a Gringo either. And my mexican friends said it is bad for american citizens to go their. And he said they Will mistake me for white to get money off of me.
help please.

The better your Spanish, the better your ability to avoid being cheated or victimized. An area with a fair amount of English-speakers would be easier to navigate than Chiapas, where gringos are less common.

my parents are of Argentinian extraction and I speak Spanish fluently, although with a indecipherable accent for most Hispanics. you'll be an outsider in a nation where, although there are definite exceptions, the folks are reserved, borderline xenophobic at least amongst themselves, and are, understandably, anxious amidst those who are not from their same nationality. to be brutally frank, you will either be considered a borderline lunatic and/or someone worthy of being exploited, especially if you do not speak Spanish grammatically and/or with a heavy foreign accent, although there are definitely Mexicans who are fascinated with foreigners and are bored with their own people. there are Korean, Chinese, Lebanese, Spanish, and Chasidic Jews, say, in Mexico City but they are usually there to enhance themselves economically via some opportunity that has been offered to them via some prominent organization. on this site, you will be given, for the most part, the ra-ra's as its participants are mostly expatriots. areas that appeal to expatriot retirees are mostly far more costly than areas where you will be living like a real Mexican, for example, in Pachuca or even taxco. then, you have the issue of the medical insurance that you're going to have to pay for and the visas, etc., which usually require utilizing a lawyer who will charge you several thousands of dollars. I feel that living and working in such cities as Antigua or Xelia, Guatemala are a far easier route, and are also usually cheaper than mexico. if this doesn't appeal to you, try it for around 6 months, or consider el paso or one of the border towns in the united states.

these are my own perceptions. obviously, they differ from yours. i'm just trying to be helpful and the objective- realist as opposed to the romanto-intellectualist. i have mexican friends who feel the exact same way that i do. being brutally frank all too often revolts those who may have an intellectual blindess t'other side of the story, i'm afraid.
