LOVING THE GRINGO, A BICULTURAL LIFE describes a special, long and loving relationship, through real life anecdotes. The first time I laid eyes on my Gringo, he was doing the 'twist,' and I learned about the US 'native' dance of the times. He resisted embracing my love for the opera, but did become enamored of our language, our way of life, and our food! Light, funny, and unexpected, these stories mirror the lkives and adventures of husbands, wives, parents, children, grandparents, friends, and colleagues, as they cope with multicultural challenges.
LOVING THE GRINGO can also provide a unique resource for educators of multicultural studies. The acquisition of Spanish by my Gringo, makes a perfect case for the communicative approach. An additional resource is a short skit about a visit by some 'Gringa' girls to Uruguay, and their exxperiences through the Christmas holiday celebrations.
