How Many Spanish Speakers Do We Have?

Just curious about how many of us speak Spanish here. I know Rosy and Inka are native Spanish speakers, but what about everyone else?

I tried to learn for years, but it wasn't until I met my husband that I really could speak it fairly well. I love being able to speak Spanish with everyone while in Mexico while shopping, in restaurants, etc.

Tyler conducted a poll a few month back, here is the link

it will give you an idea of those spanish speakers, although there has been a lot of new members joining lately!

Thanks Inka!

I grew up with a lot of Mexicans but all they taught me were the RRREEEAAAALLLLYYY bad words. I know enough spanish to get by. I am fluent in SPANGLISH

My husband hasn't taught me any bad words - I think he did it on purpose so I can use them around him! He wasn't counting on me becoming addicted to Spanish novelas, though. I learned how to be a real drama queen and argue in Spanish like the best of them! LOL!

Hey Melissa,
I can teach you some bad words...........LOL!

I have had Rosetta Stone Spanish software for six years. Does that count. I have the best of intentions.

I have no doubt that you can! LOL!!!

Have lived in south of the border 8 years and the last five years worked south of the border with womens' artisan groups, so speak Spanish fluently.
