Mama Cristobal didn't put up with bad grammar.

Yeah but Manny was like "No hablo defenso!".

Oh ****. I’ve died and gone to heaven.

 

[gruntking]

You MF are bored

I listened to the presser on the iHeart radio up here in MN. I thought that was pretty cool of him. Could tell he was probably very fluent but struggling nonetheless and went ahead with it with some. Speaking Spanish doesn’t win National championships though. I haven’t seen Miami committed to football like this since $$ wise I became a fan.

Well I know someone who became a Miami football fan in 1926, and he told me the exact same thing.

Let’s just say his Spanish needs a lot of work.

Gonna have plenty of time to brush up now that he's back in the crib full time. He'll be smashing dominos & cussing motherfukers out in Spanish in no time. Welcome back homie!!
It's a Canes thing...

No habla espanol so I didn’t understand a word he said so he gets a pass from me.

I was like well **** ya mi amigo, you tell ‘em

Let’s just say his Spanish needs a lot of work.

I mean, even he admitted at the end of that that it was HARD.

 

[Canes2082]

Give him a weeeknd around Versailles playing dominos and having a couple caficitos and it will be like he never left Miami

 

[Hurracanes]

Wasn’t that bad at all….you tend to lose vocabulary when you don’t practice it a lot.

I get it, you lose it if you don’t use it but when you’re fluent, you don’t lose that much. He wasn’t just losing vocabulary. It’s not a knock on him, it happens to many Hispanics who are raised in the States since they are very little.

For some strange reason, Manny had hard time pronouncing "D" in spanish.

**** he had a hard time with it in English my guy

 

[JamesQuall]

I don’t speak Spanish but I was born and raised in South Florida and worked in North Miami for almost a decade so I have heard a lot of Spanish. He sounded Cuban… I showed it to my buddy who is Cuban and he was like “this guy is so Cuban it hurts” his Spanish sounds the same. It’s not Spanish he’s speaking, it’s Cuban.

On the flip side and just as a cultural observation, one could live his or her entire life in Miami speaking Spanish [with very little if any English] and be just fine.

Shoot .. I have a good friend that moved to Miami from Peru in '98 .. he didn't even try to learn English for the first 6-8 years as there was really no need. Virtually every restaurant and supermarket, gas station and "mall" is staffed by Spanish speaking people. Finally, after being promoted to a top finance position he had to start picking up SOME English due to having more outside contacts. We had 60 employees in our office / warehouse .. I was the only "gringo" .. (but I had lived in Latin America for 10 years .. fully bilingual) and many conversations were only in Spanish.

He said he didn't get many chances to speak spanish in Oregon. He might make a mistake, or something bad might slip. However, if that happens, his mom will fling a shoe at him.

Every cuban fears the shoe or the flip flop. ****, even animals fear it.
