Spanish is the native language in Puerto Rico, although I think Spanglish is a better description of the type of Spanish spoken in PR. Spanglish is a way to describe a language that consists of both English and Spanish mixed together. For example, on my 1st day in Puerto Rico, there was a huge beer billboard on the side of the freeway that said “Este Cool” (Translation: “That’s cool”).
Stefan and I have both taken college Spanish courses, so l’m sure that we’ll be able to pick up Spanish pretty quickly, but I know it’s going to take some effort on my part to become fluent (which is my goal). I made some flashcards today of the 100 most common Spanish verbs and I’ve found this website to be very helpful. They even have internet terms in Spanish and English, which I’ll probably work on next.
