No se, mi amiga.
No vivo en California.. tambien...

and where I live now, in the undisclosed location,
English is spoken here.

It’s refreshing.

What bugs me is that I live in a college town and we get a lot of foreign students and they speak English and love it when you take the time to talk with them. In the late 90’s a group were here from Columbia and several were not very fluent but my daughter brought them to several football games and they had a ball. They had wanted to see American futbol up close. They would only speak English because that is the only way they said they could learn the language and apologized if they didn’t say it right.

When they went back after a year, we heard from several of them that had satellite so they could watch OU play football and improve their English. Every last one of the six came back for their graduate degrees. One is now a professor here at OU. All six are applying for citizenship. They didn’t sneak across the border, they competed for graduate school and came here legally. All six are now very fluent in English and as one of them said are living the American dream. They detest the illegals and don’t understand why our Government allows them to stay and get in line ahead of people who want to come here legally. I don’t understand it either.
