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.
