Oh I hear you loud and clear Jonna! Spanish is a lovely language indeed. I guess it is similar in Filipino where the words are mixed in like what you are describing in the Yucatan. I know there is an area in the Philippines where their dialect is called chabacano and it has strong roots from Mexican Spanish. And the Philippines has around 170+ dialects..,talk about not having the proper vocabulary, so English is a good fall back language, anyways it is taught in all schools at an early age. So pretty much most people there are bilingual or trilingual if you include their dialects
I grew up speaking Tagalog and English, and Tagalog is the main basis for the Filipino language, so good for me..I only know smatterings of the other dialects there. So if I add learning Spanish...whew....makes your mind whirl! But I do speak some Japanese and some Italian too..
Just fun to talk about things
