¿De qué estado eres?– informal
¿Dónde está? – Where is it?
¿Cómo es? – What’s it like?
Action steps:
1. Look for a map of Mexico that shows the states
2. What are your favorite travel destinations in Mexico and what state(s) are they in?
3. Make an effort to ask your current friends from Mexico what state they are from and find out a little about their state and home town. They’ll really love that you’ve taken the time to ask.
4. Make some new friends from Mexico and find out about their home state.
