Cool. I am from the Philippines. I never had Spanish class in College School. The English word "But" when translated in the Filipino/Tagalog language is "Pero". The Philippines being a former colony of the Spain shows that the Spanish language has a huge influence on it's current Filipino language. Makes me want to learn more but it would take too much of time and effort.
