My father is learning Spanish and has taken to using 'normalamente' in place of 'normally' even when speaking English. I figured he just made up a Spanish sounding version but this makes me think there was method to his madness!  

Yes there generalmente is! 

Wow, what an interesting observation!

Thank you for sharing.

This wouldn't work for me though, as I usually don't compare two languages when I'm learning a new language, it is just my way... but it was interesting to read this observation anyway :)
