If you'd like to hear more about some of our adventures, then feel free to check out this episode. Thanks for listening!
Grab your coffee and join us in today’s podcast where we chat about how we met and why! In 2017, we started chatting on a language learning app. A lot of stuff has happened since then. Not only did we end up improving our respective Spanish and English levels, but we both visited each other’s countries and learned so much! We were looking for a fun way to connect and share our stories. Thus, MEXCAN was created. Thank you for joining us!
Welcome back to MexCan! We are pumped to release this episode, and we hope that you enjoy it.

It's Jamen here, and in today's episode, Alan and I decided to reflect and discuss some of the things we've learned from creating this podcast. It's been wonderful getting to work on a project together that allows us to interact with cool listeners like you. We also ventured to the topic of language learning. Alan shares some of the ways he incorporates English into his everyday life. Stay tuned and if you'd like to collab, let us know. 😄 You can find the new website here: https://mexcanpodcast.wordpress.com/ Thanks for listening!
Grab your coffee and join us as we chat about the realities of living in Mexico and Canada. Have you ever wondered at what age can a teenager get their driver's license? Maybe you're interested in going camping because you've seen it in movies. Well, let me tell you, not all of these things are as glamorous and simple as they may seem. Although Canada and Mexico have certain similarities, they also can be quite different at times, and some of these differences may be surprising! From camping to driving, we chatted about it all! 🚗 Thanks for listening! You can find the new website here: https://mexcanpodcast.wordpress.com/
Grab your coffee and join us as we gather for another MexCan chat but this time in Spanish. Have you ever wanted to become an architect? Why is playing an instrument such a beautiful thing to do? In today's episode, we have a very special guest, Lucio Muniain. Not only was it wonderful getting to meet such a talented person, but it was also very interesting hearing his experience as an architect. From music to literature, we chatted about it all! 🎶 Thanks for listening, and don't forget to check out Lucio's socials: @luciomuniain
Grab your coffee (or should I say wine?) and join us as we gather for another MexCan chat.

Grab your coffee and join us as we chat about music and the ethics behind it. You may have heard about some of the recent news surrounding some popular musicians and lawsuits. Alan is the more musically inclined one between the two of us (Jamen here!), and he brought it to my attention. Although we aren't professionals, we do enjoy listening to music like many of you guys. Some of the topics we asked ourselves include: - What qualifies as copying? - Finding the line between inspiration and copying - Is sampling okay? Thanks for listening!

Grab your coffee and join us as we chat about long-distance relationships with two awesome guests! Today's episode is all about long-distance relationships, commonly referred to as an LDR. We had the pleasure of talking to Cassidy and Carlos, a couple who now lives together after being in an LDR. Like us, Carlos is from Mexico and Cassidy is from Canada. It was an absolute pleasure getting to speak with them. Sometimes it feels like travel will never go back to normal, which is something no one in an LDR wants to hear. Realizing that you are not alone, even during these uncertain times, is so important! They shared their story and talked about what it was like flying to one another before they were able to close the gap. We also chatted about some ways to stay close even when you are far away from someone. This episode is ideal for anyone who is in an LDR or is curious about what it is like. Thanks for listening!
Grab your coffee and join us as we chat about STEM! We have a special guest joining us for today's episode! Please welcome Alma, an aeronautical engineering student from Mexico. It was a pleasure getting to hear about her experience as a woman in this field. Not only is she a wonderful person to talk to, but Alma is also a huge inspiration to other women and girls who would like to study something related to STEM. She is very motivated and passionate about what she studies. If you have ever wondered what it is like to go into engineering, this bilingual episode is for you! Some of the things we discuss include future job opportunities, gender differences, potential classes, and more! You can find her on Instagram @amphoenixro.
Grab your coffee and join us as we chat about social media. When we wake up, we grab our phones. When we go to bed, we grab our phones. It's pretty safe to assume that most of us *cannot* live without our handy little devices. So, why is that? In today's episode, discuss the implications of social media. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tik Tok, and every other popular social media platform has a lot of pros and, sadly, a lot of cons. But, the question is: why do we feel so drawn to social media? Thank you for tuning in! We would love to hear your opinions.
Grab your coffee and join us as we chat about university! This time the focus is all on habits. Whether you're in university or high school, you've likely developed a few habits that pertain to education. We decided to sit down and discuss what we've learned so far. Do you use online calendars or paper ones? Do you study all at once or break it up into chunks? Do you get enough sleep (if you're anything like us, the answer is probably no!)? Well, those are some of the questions we try to answer in today's episode. Thanks for listening!
Grab your coffee and join us as we chat about Black Friday and El Buen Fin. It's a showdown of the sales in this episode! Imagine this: You look down at your shopping list. Christmas is right around the corner. You still have 14 people to buy for! Hmm, you think. What would your coworker whose name you've forgotten want? How about your dad? You can't get him a coffee mug for the third year in a row. All hope is lost until you remember it's Black Friday/ El Buen Fin! There are loads of sales going on. Hope is no longer lost. You can do all of your shopping in one day and save tons of money. Many of us have been in a scenario like that. Whether you are wanting to buy a gift for a family member or treat yourself, Black Friday and El Buen Fin are some of the best days to do so... right? Tune in to hear what this day full of deals is like in Canada and Mexico.
