: Re: Should I "spanglish" a Mexican character's dialogue? I am working on a novel based in Mexico, and I am wondering if there are any strong opinions on whether or not I should put common phrases

I think it can work very well, used judiciously. It adds color and a sense of place. I write many stories based in Mexico, and ultimately I took inspiration from Hemingway, who often included local-language (often Italian and Spanish) phrases in his works, such as A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Old Man and the Sea, and many short stories.

One example of this in my own work is my short story Cuervo, on my blog.
