I don’t wanna discriminate against some ppl but I cringe so much when Americans of Hispanic descent throw a random Spanish word in every sentence like saying “I’ll visit my abuela” sounds like they’re characters from Coco no actual Latino speaks like this

Kinda get where ur coming from with this. What if someone pronounces it the right way. Like if I’m ordering food and I want pico de gallo, like I’m not going to say it like an American ima say it in my Spanish voice

Because if you call your abuela abuela it’s second nature ….

If I’m speaking Spanish, I just call her my grandma if I’m speaking with primarily English speakers.

Like I said, if you normally call her abuela I’m sure it just comes out and not that they’re purposely tryna confuse English speakers

Nah yeah I say my Tia my abuela etc, I speak Spanglish on the daily but that's just with my sibilings or people that also speak Spanish, if I'm speaking to someone who doesn't know Spanish I wouldn't say abuela or Tia lol I would just say grandma or aunt 😩
