I`ve been taking intensive "Spanish" for 12 weeks.Talk about having a blast.
Living in South Florida for 27 years, i`ve become accustomed to speaking
Spanglish — (Spanglish, Spanglish, el Spanish broken, ingléspañol, ingleñol, espan'glés, espanolo, (blends of the language names "English" and "Spanish") or jerga fronteriza — refers to the range of language-contact phenomena, primarily in the speech of the Hispanic and Anglo population of the United States and the population of Mexico living near the Mexican-American border, who are exposed to both Spanish and English.) as a form of communication.
After much debate, I decided I had to learn the language and culture. It`s awesome to hear words in Spanish and now I can communicate without sounding like a 3 year old!
This started as a New Year`s resolution.. I wanted to have languagesuges under my belt.
In South Florida it`s a must.
Suddenly, I`m into http://tv.telemundo.yahoo.com/ as well as listening to new music like Mana (http://www.mana.com.mx/) this band rocks in English or Spanish....
It`s like I`ve been introduced to another world. It`s an eye opening experience after so many years.
