The Shortest Path to Real-Life Conversations 143 English Words That Are Actually Spanish Spanish and English have been rubbing off on each other for over a century. Here are just some of the Spanish words that you probably use every day.

But you may be surprised to learn that hundreds more Spanish words are in everyday use. And if you think this is due to the United States’ rapidly growing Hispanic population, you’d actually be wrong. Spanish words have been used in English for a very long time.
