patback Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 That's because you speak Cuban Spanish (so does my wife). Colorado is all about the Mexican Spanish. That stuff is SLOOOOOOWWWW.a guy I work with speaks Mexican Spanish as his first language and says he can't understand the Dominicans because they speak way to fast and use too many different words. At the best, you could say I kind of can get by with Spanglish. At one point I want to visit my family in California and the last time my family visited, they teased everyone but my grandmother about being "gringos" Link to comment

Her heritage is eastern European. But she was born and raised in Miami so she's Cuban by nature. Yeah, Miami Cuban is a LOT of Spanglish. Words that aren't actually Spanish, but rather English and pronounced with a VERY heavy Spanish accent Link to comment

LolWhite boy don't worry I'm not Hispanic enough for work according to some of the people I work with so what I do is pretend I can't speak Spanish when I catch someone stealing that only speaks Spanish = don't have to listen to their putty party Link to comment

(To this day I am not sure how that happened) her maiden name is Santana, can you guess who her second cousin is? Everyone assumes myself and my entire family are Italian until the meet her an.

BluCrab Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm about to order a custom cube sump from Ben, he's local wtf is Mexican Spanish?!?! haha Here in Houston you get it all... wanko (El Salvadorian), Colombiano, Argentinian , Mexican, and Guatamalian.... so I just speak Spanglish or TexMex, call it what you want but down here you have to learn all the slang each group has as well.

It's not just a gumbo of mix cultures but a damn SOUP and SALAD! hahah you got to love Texas Link to comment
