The Spanish spoken by that demographic bears no resemblance to the Spanish taught in classrooms.
College is not the best place to learn any foreign language, and, as is the case with most liberal arts majors, it is quite easy these days to learn whatever you want without sitting in a classroom. Most people go to college to get the piece of paper.
I was a course or two short of a degree in Spanish, a few years later I was practicing medicine in the San Diego area, I could not communicate with many of the people walking in. I asked the office manager, I well educated young lady originally from Mexico, she jabbered at them, they jabbered at her, I asked her what they said and she told me she didn’t know they were speaking “Indio crap” and their Spanish made no sense.
