The biggest city in North America isn’t New York or Los Angeles, it’s Mexico City.
Mexico City is also the oldest capital city in the entire Americas and the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world.
Today, this enormous metropolis is home to over twenty million people. But its story began centuries ago, long before the arrival of the Spanish, when it was an island city built by the Aztecs in the middle of a vast lake.
In this episode of Thinking in English, we’re going to explore the incredible history of Mexico City from its origins as the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán, to its destruction and rebirth under Spanish rule, and finally, to its rise as a vibrant and dynamic modern city.
At the same time, we will learn some new and useful English vocabulary and practice our listening comprehension at the same time!
