Funny, I thought his native language was Enochian.

The only problem was, since he grew up in Canada, he ended every sentence with "eh". . . Like, hola Juan. Como esta usted, eh?


The Latest: Cruz says he spoke 'Spanglish' while growing up

3:20 p.m.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is showing off his Spanish skills in New York — however limited.

Speaking to journalists at an immigration event in the Bronx on Wednesday, Cruz was asked a question in Spanish, which he appeared to understand. He first began by answering the question in English, but was cut off by the reporter who asked him to respond in Spanish.

He said he has "the problem of the second-generation immigrant." In Spanish, Cruz told the reporter that he understands more Spanish than he speaks, noting that he spoke "Spanglish" at home when he was growing up.
