 Sounds like fun. Are there so many Spanish-speaking immigrants in your area?
Something called Spanglish is already developing in California (mainly amongst
Mexican-American teenagers as I understand it), quite possibly in the Miami
area too (Cublés?). And there's something called Nuyorican (New York + Puerto
Rican), as spoken in the Loisaida (Lower East Side).
 Generally, it's Spanish speakers incorporating English, not yet vice versa,
tho for some really bad Anglo-Spanish, listen to Geo.W.Bush (you're lucky
you're in England!).
