Spring 2017 FOREIGN 13 "Pero Like...Is That Spanglish?" Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in all the world. Chinese is the first and English, the third.

Today, more than 60 percent of the residents in our very own Miami-Dade County speak Spanish at home, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Spanish speakers living within an American culture like this one will often take the English pronunciation of a word, then add the suffix -ear to turn that “borrowed” English verb into a Spanish verb. This is what we know as Spanglish!

The heavy workload from classes doesn’t allow you to visit the beach as often as you'd like so, you'll be at the beach catching up on your tan, more than once this spring break. You may even travel to the West Coast or some island for a new beach to lay on, if you're ready for a different beach scene.
