Some questions about this, too.... It's the pronouns that I'm not seeming to get right....... Let me break it apart:
- "no se puede..." (instead of "no puedo...") - third person verb? and to what does the "se" refer?
- "como lo son lose maestros..." (instead of "como los maestros...") - is this like saying "like those who are teachers"?
- "me corrije" o "corríjame..." (instead of "le correja...") - I was trying to say "correct it" (referring to "what I've written") - but is it better to say "correct ME"?

or You make a Spanish word an English one. ie:

There a couple of words that I cannot think of at this moment, but it looks like this...

You want to say in spanish, "I am very tired"

and you say "Yo mucho tiro"

... and I forget the usual word....

So you mean things like "no problemo" and "si señor" and other "Spanish-y" sounding things that some Americans say are what you're referring to by saying "Spanglish"?
