Cozumel – Learn the Language!

Published on by Coz MyCozumel6 Comments

Cozumel – Learn the Language! English is widely spoken in Cozumel but it never hurts to learn the language!

Cozumel My Cozumel Espanol

  • Makes it easier – If you brush up on key words and phrases, you will save yourself time and money.
  • Closer to the culture – Learning a language helps you appreciate a new culture in ways you wouldn’t otherwise. If you’re only speaking English, you’re just skimming the surface!
  • You don’t have to be fluent – A lot of people become overwhelmed by the idea of mastering a whole new language for what should be a relaxing trip. Don’t pressure yourself! Even being able to say, “Sorry, I don’t speak Spanish,” can be a huge help! Locals will appreciate the effort you’re putting in to talk to them in their own language, regardless of how much (or little) you say.

Below is our quick reference guide to key words & terms to make your time on Cozumel island the best it can be! You can also print a copy by clicking HERE.
