I just noticed that in earlier seasons with these two that their conversations with each other were always in Spanish. Watching it now she more often than not speaks to him in English but he still speaks to her in Spanish. Does he understand English but won’t use it? Am I missing something here? These two make my brain hurt.

    As a person who speaks four languages I can say that speaking a language is the most challenging part of learning a new language. You usually obtain reading and hearing comprehension to a certain degree before you reach the capability to speak it.

    So he probably understands a whole lot of english.

      I agree with this. My husband’s first language is Spanish and I read and comprehend it damn near fluently; however, my ability to speak fluent Spanish is less than impressive.

      Omg, I bow to you, Polygot! I love language and desperately want to learn more (I’m barely bilingual 😅). If you don’t mind, which 3 do you speak besides English? And how did you come to learn them?
