If this is Europe-focused, how do Latin American Spanish speakers talk about weather?

I currently am focusing on Latin American Spanish, specifically Mexican Spanish / Californian. What are the differences in vocabulary?

Me alegra que ellos sean los primeros.

Why is this subjunctive? Is it because it comes after "que"? This sentence doesn't seem to express any doubt about their being the first.

Could I say "me alegra que ser el primero?" if I were talking about myself or would I have to write "me alegra que yo sea el primero"?

Can the speaker use ojalá for himself?

Can the speaker say, ¨Ojalá aprueba el examen¨

or does he have to say it the other way, ¨Espero aprobar el examen.¨

Thanks.

English sounds clumsy________ este cuadro en el dormitorio grande. Let's hang this picture on the big bedroom.
Hi, “on the big bedroom” doesn’t make sense in English. “In the big bedroom” makes sense and/or “on the wall in the big bedroom”. Shirley.

Should I learn to use vos as I’m going to Costa Rica?

I am going to Costa Rica. Should I learn to use Vos? Or is it best for non-native speakers to stick to usted and maybe tú?

"Cuánto falta?" means "how much longer".

Can't it also mean "how much do I owe you?"

For example, if you're paying for something with cash and you gave them some bills but still owe them a few coins to reach the total..? (how many coins are still needed?)

Thank you!

Should be "impose" not "impouse" for imponer

I checked to make sure it wasn't a word I didn't know in English ;)
