My sister's best friend in Rio was from a Cuban family, so she had some exposure to being around Cubans. But I can say that once we moved to South Florida, Que Pasa USA, quickly became not only our favorite show on TV, but looking back, now I realize that much of what I learned about life in South Florida and the culture of Miami, came from that show! Now we are fluent in Spanish, but at the time, we did not speak Spanish. It was such a clever show and so ingeniously written, that I do believe it helped us learn Spanish. We felt such a connection with the characters and stories on that show!Just recently I had my 10 year old niece watch some episodes and we were all laughing! It is TIMELESS....It IS Miami in all its colors and flavors! Que Pasa USA will forever be in my heart!! MIL GRACIAS! My family and I moved here from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the early 80’s.
