Learn Spanish and Go

We explore the phenomenon of Spanglish and why it’s more than just mixing two languages. From everyday words like postear and textear to full-on code-switching, we share examples that highlight how Spanglish works in real conversations. You’ll hear about its cultural impact in places like Puerto Rico and Mexico, how music and social media are spreading it worldwide, and why younger generations use it more than older ones.

Key Takeaways:

• What Spanglish is and why it happens.
• Real-life examples of Spanglish in daily speech, music, and media.
• How learners can recognize Spanglish while keeping languages separate in formal settings.
