In the past, Britons were scathing about the cruelties of the old Roman empire and the excesses of Catholic empire builders such as the Spanish and the French. They convinced themselves that their empire was different and benign because it rested on sea power and trade rather than on armies.
Probably the Liga MX or the American league, there are a higher number of competitive games than in the Spanish league or the English league.
Being Peruvian means to come from the farthest place possible to get to Europe. Peru is the land of the Incas. It was the capital of South America; it was where the Spanish founded their empire and took over the Inca Empire and made it into a colony of Spain.
The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren’t traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.
I love going to the hair salon. I’m Spanish. I think it’s more of a Latina thing to go to the hair salon.
In Texas, the rangers were established on an ad hoc basis in the 1820s to protect the settlers making inroads into Spanish borderlands. Soon, Mexicans and Mexican Americans replaced Native Americans as the prime target of ranger repression.
It’s hard for the American industry to see a Latin actor playing something that is not a gardener or someone in a cartel. It’s hard to find the material that tells a story of a Latin or European Spanish guy that is not a bad guy.
Wilshere had a lot of physical problems and is a player I always appreciated, but he’s unusual. He combines English grit with Spanish technique. I like him a lot.
I’m learning Spanish – I got Rosetta Stone for Christmas.
I learned Spanish at home and, since half my family doesn’t speak English, it’s my first language.
I’m terrible at languages. I’m trying to learn Spanish. I tried to learn French as a kid.
I’ve always loved Spanish. I love my father’s Spanish records.
Some of my earliest political feelings were based on the anti-Japanese bubblegum cards I got. There were also Spanish Civil War bubblegum cards. Awful.
We took Big Pun, a 700-lb Spanish guy, one of the greatest rappers ever, and made him a sex symbol. Women would wait on line to kiss him.
For me, the Bundesliga is a stronger competition than the English and Spanish leagues.
I speak some French, Spanish, a little German and Gaelic.
I’m Colombian. My family all have different complexions; some are people of color. I’ve been called every name by white people, been mocked for speaking in Spanish by white people.
I was a Spanish dancer. I don’t mean to put that down, because that was great, too, but nothing like the kind of dancing you had to do in ‘West Side Story,’ which was called jazz.
The power of music in Spanish is so strong, that I couldn’t stay away from it any longer.
The Spanish and the English leagues are the strongest.
I would always talk with my friends in English and Spanglish, but it was more like slang. It was more like, ‘Yo, what’s up, dog?’ But in Spanish, I know what’s proper, and what’s ghetto. I know the difference.
I grew up with a strong Spanish influence. I tried to learn flamenco when I was younger. But it’s like my teacher said: ‘It takes a lifetime to learn flamenco.’
Clearly if a hypnotist could make someone to steal £100k just by telling them to, the world would be a different place, and I suspect that hypnotists wouldn’t bother doing shows in pubs or dodgy Spanish holiday resorts.
In the Middle Ages and beyond, the target was the Court Jew who had the ear of the ruler; during the Inquisition it was the Spanish Jews who thrived after their conversion to Christianity.
I am making sure, as the governor of a territory, that our kids speak fluent English. But having said that, I will tell my wife I love her in Spanish, and I will pray in Spanish, and no one from Washington should come down here and tell us how to go about it.
I don’t speak Spanish, and I get so much crap for it. Oddly enough, it was the first language I learned, but somehow I lost it throughout the years. I can understand pieces of it, but I don’t speak it. I need to speak it. I want to teach my kids Spanish.
Here the football is more physically strong. The Spanish are more technical. In Italy more tactical. In England… you have to run. We don’t fear the tackles, because the people like this.
I was down in Peru, and I was watching AAA in Spanish on my TV, and it just it blew my mind because they weren’t following any of the rules, yet the crowd was still there.
I love all Balvin songs, and ‘Mi Gente’ and ‘Despacito’ got No. 1 all over the world in Spanish.
I think in French, but I get angry in Spanish.
I’m half white, half Asian. I think of myself as hybrid. People usually think I’m Latina when they meet me. That’s what made me learn Spanish.
I’ve always said that I love the Spanish league.
I never had any problems with the players. I would say that my English is better than Gary Lineker’s Spanish.
I’ve always been more in touch with my Ecuadorian side. I speak Spanish.
When I’m speaking of love, when I’m speaking of reversing hate, I’m speaking not only of reconciliation – even I don’t use that word – I use another word in Spanish, that’s called ‘reencuentro’ – it’s not reconciliation.
A movie like ‘Sugar’ you couldn’t make today. The climate for making movies with no movie stars, half of it in Spanish, at the budget level that we had is gone. These are high-risk elements.
I spoke Spanish when I was three, and then Maltese. I love dictionaries. I like foreigners. My dad moved every year before I was 14, and I learnt to like abroad. I’m not scared of change.
I think that a lot of teams aren’t as close-knit as we are because a lot of the Spanish speakers don’t know English and some of the English guys don’t care to try and learn Spanish and relate to Latin players.
One of these days in the next 10 years, I will play ‘Evita.’ I don’t know when or where, but I love ‘Evita’, especially with all my Latin and Spanish studies. It’s a very demanding role but I’d love to play it.
I might be more fluent in Swedish than I am in Spanish. My wife speaks it to our kids, and they’re fluent so I hear it all the time, so I’ve got that under my belt.
I am a novelist turned temporary adventurer, and I chose to write television, movies and plays for much the same reason that Henry Morgan selected the Spanish Main for his peculiar – and not dissimilar – sphere of operations.
I don’t know, ‘Zorro’ was just so great for me because, knowing where I came from, everyone spoke Spanish to me, like, forever after that. And I’m, like, from Wales.
The French Revolution ends slavery unilaterally. And it does so at this moment when the British, the Spanish, the Portuguese and the Americans – all of the other major powers – keep slavery. And the fact is that it’s almost bankrupting the French Colonial Empire.
You see how Spanish, Italians, Portuguese play football. I don’t say they are perfect, I say English football has a few things to learn from them in the same way they have a lot of things to learn from English football.
I would like to tell our American, British and Spanish friends that the Iraqi crisis is not a problem between the United States and France, but between those who want to move forward in the logic of war and the international community.
The first time I saw America was from my perch on the mast of a Spanish naval ship, where I could spot the Statue of Liberty reaching proudly into the open, endless American sky.
My grandmother died in 1991 and I was born in ’86. We only met once, but I didn’t speak English and she didn’t speak Spanish – so we had a communication problem.
I write for the people I grew up with. I took extreme pains for my book to not be a native informant. Not: ‘This is Dominican food. This is a Spanish word.’ I trust my readers, even non-Spanish ones.
Of course I would like to return to Spanish football, but I promised myself I would be a success in England.
I’m a daughter of the middle class with a strong sense of social mobility and individualism, like the waves of immigrants, like my Spanish grandparents, who made Argentina.
There were the people that believed in me when I was walking around Spanish Harlem, saying that I was going to be a Hollywood actress. They were like, ‘Yeah, you could do it!’
Feliz Navidad’ has interfaced the English and Spanish cultures to come together and after all, we’re living in a multi-cultural world.
I studied Arabic and speak some Spanish.
Moviewise, I would love to make the story of princess Erendira. She was a 16 year old princess/warrior who led her tribe in war against the Spanish around 1513. She almost defeated them, and the Tarascans were the only tribe the Aztecs couldn’t defeat.
All Spanish players want to play for the national team.
I want to position myself as a great singer/songwriter in Korea, then jump off that into different markets. South-east Asia, China, Japan – I’ve done nothing even though I speak four languages – English, Korean, Spanish, and a little bit of Mandarin.
