Language in Cuba
Know which is the official language in Cuba and with what other languages you can communicate
Language in Cuba
The official language in the Republic of Cuba is Spanish, so it is the most widespread language on the entire island, and the one used in all official documentation, but being a very tourist destination you will not have any problem communicating in other languages, especially English and French.
You can use English in practically all places in the country, such as hotels, restaurants, tourist excursions, until you reach the point of finding more information about excursions or restaurant menus in English than in Spanish.
French, Italian, German and Russian are also quite widespread languages.
There are certain words that it is recommended that you know, since their meaning in Cuba differs from the original meaning of the word in Spanish. For example, the use of the word “vale”, which in Spain is used as a word of affirmation, or an “ok”, in Cuban it refers to a very cutting expression, something like “Enough already”.
Another notable difference is the phrase "hacer botella," which in Cuba means hitchhiking.
