MND Tutor | Cempasúchil & Día de Muertos

Welcome to MND Tutor! This interactive learning tool helps you improve your Spanish by exploring real news articles from Mexico News Daily. Instead of just memorizing vocabulary lists or grammar rules, you’ll dive into authentic stories about Mexican culture, current events and daily news.

Mexico City has produced a record 10 million cempasúchil plants for Day of the Dead, a 53.8% increase on last year. The flowers were grown by producers in Xochimilco, in Mexico City’s southern outskirts, with government support. They are generally available across the capital for 15 to 30 pesos per plant. The city is also hosting free Day of the Dead events, including a monumental Catrina display in the Zócalo and a cempasúchil trail in Chapultepec Park.
