3. Spanglish and a bat! | Spanish in the US (Spanglish, The Switch, Latinx) | part 3 of 3

Spanish We Do

In part 3 or our opening series, we take a look at the language itself, meaning past and current use of Spanglish --the mixture of Spanish and English--; the evolution of that into something we can call The Switch, the appearance of the term Latinx and we also talk about a bat, yes, a bat, the animal, in Spanish it’s a “murciélago” and how that “murciélago” will reveal to us something very important about the evolution of the Spanish language, and languages in general.

Part 2 dissects current approach and use of Spanish in showbiz.
