Spanglish

When I think of the term Spanglish, I think of the movie. The movie really epitomizes the barrier that arises when two parties cannot understand one another and must resort to other ways of communicating at times. Flor, or the maid who recently came from Mexico, attempts to help in matters other than just those that have to do with cleaning the house. She struggles to come to terms with the fact that she is in a new land, and must learn new ways of living and customs.
Similarly, immigrants from different Spanish speaking countries come to the United States and are forced to learn English in order to be understood. Hence, many residents of the US have resorted to using Spanglish, or mixing English with the little spanish they know so that they can make new residents feel a little more uncomfortable.I think that Spanglish, though incorrect in its content, is helpful not only for the sake of natives, but for those that don't speak spanish as well.
