The Surprisingly American History of Cinco de Mayo [Interactive Spanish Lesson] Posted by on May 5, 2015 in Language Learning

You may be more than happy to throw back a margarita and enjoy some delicious Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo (and we don’t blame you!), but do you know what actually happened on the 5th of May? Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day and it has actually become far more popular in the United States than in Mexico. Want to know why? Learn more about the holiday and celebrate in style with some Spanish holiday vocabulary in our interactive Cinco de Mayo Spanish Lesson for Beginners and our full-immersion Cinco de Mayo Spanish Lesson for Intermediate Learners.
