As I prepared recently to make a presentation about Latin America and the importance of learning Spanish to a bunch of beginning-level seventh- and eighth-grade students, I struggled to come up with topics that middle school kids could relate to. Suddenly, it dawned on me that a great way to keep their interest would be to talk about texting and instant messaging. I pulled together a list of some commonly used abbreviations used in Latin America and now — at the urging of several curious adult friends — am posting them here (needless to say, the kids loved it). Any more to share? Please let me know!







Pq or xq = ¿por qué? or porque



100pre = siempre



grax = gracias



NTP = No Te Preocupes (or sometimes, No Tengo Problema)



Vdd = verdad



Tb = también



Bb = bebe



Cam = cámara





je je je = LOL



KLK (only in the Dominican Republic, I believe) = ¿qué lo que?



TQM or TKM = Te Quiero Mucho
