ENGLISH IS ALL AROUND!

An Anglicism is a word borrowed from English into another language. In Spain, the adoption of English words is extremely common in the spheres of business and information technology:
                                   marketing      manager    software      blog     email


But we can find English words everywhere although sometimes we have a word or expression in Spanish with the same meaning (backstage-entre bastidores). Just look carefully around you and you'll read or hear English words everyday:

 
                       bacon     camping     hobby     airbag     aftershave  top model  




Look for ten examples of anglicisms and tell us where you read or heard them. Do we have a Spanish equivalent for any of them? It's going to be easier than you think, there are lots of them because ENGLISH IS ALL AROUND!

  7. Hi!

    My 10 examples of anglicisms are these:
    Pub (bar), parking (aparcamiento), e-mail (correo electrónico), pudding, whatsApp, aftersun, baseball, hastag, trending topping.

    I was listen these words in publicity, other of them in the radio and in the social webs. Some of them are use for spanish people but they haven't got a literal mean.

    See you soon!
