From creole to english and from creole to Spanish

It has become interesting to see how it is easy for some native islanders to learn English but at the same time hard to learn Spanish. From this has arisen some questions regarding culture and native language influence that we pretend to answer at the end of this research. There are no previous researches regarding this proposal, but there are studies regarding the linguistic aspects of the language and the one that is used the most. According to the Ministry of Culture (2014), there are neighborhoods or sections of the island where the language commonly used is creole, that Islanders perception regarding academic failure or low academic level has to do with the poor management that some children have of the Spanish language. Davis (2011), in her monograph, concludes that most islanders speak the native language “creole” and maintain a linguistic loyalty despite the inequality in relation to the Spanish language. Globalization is part of everyone`s reality, therefore, it is indispensable to learn more than one language to suffice specific necessity that may become part of our daily activity. This has shown islanders the necessity to subdue their custom and to learn Spanish and English, but with this decision comes a lot of difficulties when studying or even when traveling to another city or country.
