English everywhere



Hi english lovers!!

I  come with a new challenge for you! Are you ready?

Did you notice that english is all over the place? Even in Spain, far away from english speaking countries, english is present everywhere. More and more we are starting to mix spanish with a lot of english words, check this worldcloud:


Have you ever used some of the previous words... and do you recognise these things?





Corn flakes: The name of this cereals is in english and literally it means "copos de trigo".


Burger king: This is easy, is it? "El rey de las hamburguesas"



Hot wheels: These cars are so fast, that their wheels are always on fire so they couldn't have a better name "ruedas calientes"






Spiderman: Super heroes are not very creative when choosing their names, what do you think?"hombre araña"





L.O.L: You use a lot this expression but do you know what it really means? Laughing Out Loud "Riéndome muy alto"








U.2. Music band: It's true that in spanish the name of this group doesn't have a lot of sense, but have you pronounced it in english...It will sound similar to: "you too" "tú también", interesting right?





Now it's your turn, I can't wait to see your examples!!!
Best!

  1. Isabel: Saying "Estar al liquindoi" is typical in Cadiz and Malaga. Sometime during the XVIII or XIX centuries an English ship come to the Cadiz port and the captain said to one Spanish docker: "Look and do it". The captain wanted that person to have an eye on the ship so no one could steal the goods in the ship. "Look and do it" has evolved to "al liquindoi" that is used every day in both Cadiz and Malaga !!!
