As someone who speaks Spanish and English I relate to this so much… 😔. When I tell you my cousins in DR didn’t understand me when I pronounced Tatum because over there they pronounce the ta like in the word task. And the um in Tatum similar to the word tomb. Tatomb
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.

In El Paso they speak 100% Spanglish lol it’s like its own language
A lot of speech scholars do consider it a language! It’s called code-switching and is considered very difficult.
