Note about Spanglish

Here is my disclaimer about the Spanish words I use in my blog, such as charla, artesnîa, etc. As to not be perceived as haughty or boastful, I must say that I only use words in Spanish in this blog when that is how the concept was first introduced to me. I guess I could say “training session” instead of “charla”, but no one in Peace Corps has ever said that to me, I just learned “charla.” So there it is, my self-indulgent plea to all my English-speaking friends and family who probably get annoyed when I speak Spanglish; heck, I annoy myself. Sorry.
