I'd like to big up the Cellar for making me aware of this tradition.
Our music teacher came into the staffroom the other week and said she'd mentioned the Mexican Day of the Dead (as part of a Remembrance Sunday discussion with the 10-11 year olds) but she couldn't remember what it was called. "Dia de la Muerto!" I proudly replied. Okay I got it a bit wrong, but I was pleased to show my knowledge.

People of our age mostly learned German and French in school. My neice is now learning Spanish (although she refuses to speak it abroad, being 16 and embarrassed by everything)
