    As someone who speaks Spanish and English

    When I first moved to Texas my neighbors were Hispanic. I was so confused at first when I’d hear them talk Tex-Mex. Like perfect Spanish conversation, and then they’d just drop into English for a few sentences, and then back to Spanish.

        A lot of speech scholars do consider it a language! It’s called code-switching and is considered very difficult.
