What little spanish I have learned has helped me understand things in my life I never really understood before. For example, in a Sublime song, Bradley sings, "much gusto, hey I'm a Bradley". Now I know that mucho gusto means "Nice to meet you".
And the band name Yo La Tengo. I couldn't figure out what it meant at first because the grammar structure of Yo La Tengo doesn't match what I learned. Someone told me while we were having a discussion about music that it translates to "I have her".
I also learned that Tesoro (the gas station) means "treasure", which is an appropriate name for a gas station considering the fact that oil is buried underground and countries go to war over it.
