About 40 years ago, I started attending a weekly meeting of A.A. that was 100% Spanish speaking, thinking to improve my Spanish and to be among kindred spirits at the same time. They were very tolerant of me butchering the language and the only time I remember them laughing aloud was when I used the word “ano” instead of the word “año”.

Nowadays, I try to stick to butchering the English language.

A friend of mine from Canada was in Nicaragua on business. He went to several AA meetings in Managua. Though he couldn't speak Spanish at the time he said he had an understanding of what people were saying because their tone, inflection, facial expressions, etc., mirrored what he heard in English at meetings in the U.S.
