Cruz made me feel good about my Spanish. i alway thoght the accent I aquired in Mexico City was the worst. I envied the clarity of those from Columbia or even Bolivia. Now that I heard Cruz mangle it, I see it could be much worse..
Cruz understands and even speaks Spanish. In this he is like a lot of Tejanos—a LOT—that English is his first language, that he is not tempted to say one thing to an Anglo audience and another to a Spanish one.
