In an novel experiment, BBC reporter Jose Baig and his Spanish-speaking camera man are heading off on a tour of the Southern US States to see how far they will get speaking espaÑol. With their little test they hope to offer a living picture of how immigration has influenced the linguistic and cultural melting pot that is today's US of A. They will document their adventures in a blog (naturalmente in Spanish) and we will keep tabs on their progress as they head through eight states and twelve cities on their journey. Their trip will end in Los Angeles, where they will attend a debate on the influence of Latin American language and traditions on modern American culture.
You can follow their journey here. If you want to contact the two journalists, you can do so by leaving a message using Skype with the account bbcmundohispano or join the group “¿Hablas espaÑol y vives en EE.UU.?” on Facebook.
