I never heard of Belize before I got this new job. I work with a lot of Belizeans, Panamanians, and people from the Caribbean. When I looked up Belize, it said it was an English speaking country but my co workers(3 of them) are from Belize, and they speak Spanish with the rest of the Spanish speaking people at my job. Granted, they sound Jamaican when they speak English but I never knew they spoke Spanish. Please explain how, or why?..LOL

We were having this girl’s night out attending a Poetry event on campus. A cute boy from Belize I been rejecting all semester long came up to the group speaking Spanish. He feel more confident speaking his native tongue around me (We all got a class together, my friends know he can speak English)

My friends think I was being rude to talk with him in Spanish around them...

How many people in belize speak spanish as a main language? Do most people speak some english? And are their many major differences between belize spanish and standard Spain/Mexico spanish?
