I regret many things. To not have learned English as a boy. I had the time to have at least studied English and I didn't do it. I deeply regret it. I experienced situations where I was with incredible and spectacular personalities to be able to talk and have a chat and you feel half ignorant.

A 2024 New York Times report notes that Mexico is home to over 1.6 million U.S. citizens - the largest American community abroad. But it's more than Americans: Argentinian, Spaniard, Chinese and Russian populations have all grown significantly, with Mexican authorities reporting a 64% year-on-year increase in Russian migrants in 2024 . The stereotypical CDMX immigrant - a digital nomad typing furiously from a café while nursing the same almond-milk cappuccino for hours (yes, I'm describing myself) - isn't the full story.

Parents often hear the warning: "If your child doesn't learn a second language early, they'll never be fluent." Adults, meanwhile, are told: "It's just too late for you to learn now."

The short answer is that it depends on what we mean by "better."

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has been viewing all of this as steps or small steps in the right direction, but will they be enough for the government that declared itself aggrieved by the Spanish monarch's latest statements?

Between selling our home in Connecticut, finding a place to live in Spain, and figuring out where our sons would enroll in school, I deprioritized my new social life. I assumed we'd naturally meet people once we got here, and we eventually did. But those first few months were lonely.
