Practice Tips
- *In Mexico, "la comida" (the main meal) is usually around 2-3 p.m., not at noon.
- *"La junta" is the most common word for a work meeting in Mexico. You'll also hear "la reunión."
- *Use "de la mañana/tarde/noche" instead of a.m./p.m. when telling time in conversation.
- *Practice saying times out loud — it helps build fluency with numbers!
