No, not good at all. About the same level as some 3 year old. Still trying to get better, though. Practice, practice... Classes (online) are taught primarily in English, since they are for worldwide and not country-specific.

You know what worked for me?  Hang out with children.  They're not critical and can be at your level.

Here's an off beat gig you can get in Mexico .. a musician.  Been doing it for years, never been hassled.  In GDL it usually pays 500P a night. 

Here's another you would probably never get hassled for .. a supplier.   You'd need to go around to the ma and pa grocery stores and and ask them what they'd need that's unreliable from local suppliers.   Or make suggestion on what they might need but don't know it yet, like sea salt, or confection sugar, or half and half. 

And it doesn't have to be groceries.  My buddy did it with wooden toys he bought in bulk in Michoacan.  The impulse market is a hit here, as the folks are definitely impulsive. 

Or open a taco or hotdog street stand.  You'd need a trusted employee tho.  It'd look a little queer for a Gringo to be flipping tortillas.  There are lots of people sending their kids to college and paying their mortgage doing just that, 3-4 hours per night. 

Daycare English Academy.  It'd be a bit of an investment, chairs, desks (picnic or patio tables work too) whiteboard, teaching aids etc.  Parents eat that stuff up!

This store supply idea sounds interesting. I have good sized trucks and trailers and feel comfortable driving.

Wondering about zipping around doing this in the Baja. Perhaps getting some supplies in San Diego from wholesalers.

On highway 1 going south about the time you hit the BC/BCS border the highway goes East over the mountains to the coast of The Sea of Cortez.  That stretch is called La Espalda del Diablo.  Rated number 1 most dangerous highway in the World.

Gringo products rule here.  Even used clothing.  Stuff that goes bang tops them all tho.  Quality makeup too.   Also you can get orders from folks before you leave, personal items like sport shoes (not Chinese). Auto parts, Quality appliances,  Boutique clothing.  Computer parts.  There's a name for that profession: Fiuquero.

There's a website .. The Craigslist of Mexico, in fact there are two .. Segundamano and Mercado Libre.  Both pretty active and "free."

Happy hunting!

"If we add that is one of the routes with more assaults, robberies and even murders, it becomes one of the most dangerous roads."

Seems fitting since I live so close to Colorado's "toughest" public 4 wd trail. Even hiking it is arduous.
