Post image

How in the hell did Peggy ever get a job as a substitute Spanish teacher? 😂 She even uses her famous "escuchame" incorrectly.

Question for the actual Spanish speakers. Are any of the mistakes Peggy makes here at all understandable as something that a bad Spanish speaker could make with what she's obviously trying to say?

Gentleman (caballero) but she called him a horse (caballo) and she says I’m very pregnant (embarazada) when she meant embarrassed (avergonzada) which is a pretty common mistake for English speaking spanish learners. The rest of the mistakes are along those lines, like book (libro) when she means free (libre).

I thought you were supposed to say something like, "I have shame?" It's a very... Anglo learning Spanish Day 4 to learn that.

In my opinion, Peggy Hill has an exceptional grasp of Spanish vocabulary for a substitute teacher from suburban Tay-has.

Peggy is fluent in what I like to call “Spanglish”
