for Lesson 6 is Hernán Cortés
Returning to our subject, Doña Marina knew the language of Guacacualco,
which is the tongue of Mexico, and also knew the language of Tabasco, and
Jerónimo de Aguilar knew the language of Yucatán and Tabasco,
which is one and the same. They (Marina and Aguilar) understood each other
well, and Aguilar would pass the information on in Castillian to Cortés.
It was a great beginning to our conquest, and things went our way, glory
be to God, in a very prosperous way. I wanted to state all this because
without Doña Marina, we would not have been able to understand the
tongue of New Spain and Mexico.
