At least you understand. This is all I am saying that most of the Mexicans don't understand the Cuban Spanish. Evidently, Martinez was speaking to the Cubans not the Mexicans.
Are you saying that the Mexicans did not understand what Senator Martinez said in Spanish?
When I go home I will listen with my faulty Spanish I picked up in Miami. (Donde esta los ratones?)
I bet it was pretty vanilla, and everyone probably understood. I was in St. Maartin, and when some guy said something in spanish there, is sounded more like dutch! :-)
