Spanglish: Mi Vida Remixed takes an in-depth look at Spanglish. New generations of Latino youth are using Spanish and English to create their own unique form of language, culture, style and influence. From the spoken word scene in the Bronx, to school and sport in Miami, to bordertown life for teens in Texas, mun2 explores how Spanglish has emerged and continues to shape young Latinos and pop culture. The special features interviews with teens and celebrities who collectively speak to the way language defines them across generations, regions and cultures.
Most cultures that speak two languages, like english and something else mix their words. I have a friend that is vietnamese and she does the same with her language and english. I think it is just the way we communicate here in the states. If you can't think of the word in spanish or whatever other language you are speaking, you will just go ahead and say it in enlish.
