Cuban Spanish...

First of all...if you can speak English...you will get along just fine in Cuba. Most everyone can.

Second if you understand or speak any Spanish you will have no problem either.

"Cuban Spanish" is just Spanish (South American...without the lisp) with a few particular to Cuba words thrown in.

One such being CHAO.  Not the CIAO of Italy...but sounding and meaning the same thing.

Dale.  Meaning "Let's go."

El Radio Bemba. Meaning someone who  gossips.

La pincha. Meaning to work (instead of trabajo)

But even these and others can be figured out fairly quickly in context.

I did discover something amazing while poking around (virtually) on the beaches though.

An archipelago barrier reef known as Jardins la Reina...and will share this with you on Monday!

Until Then!
