my keyboard language keeps changing

In language and regions, as well as in keyboard preferences i have recently included Spanish - in both cases it is BELOW english, and also in language and regions it says english-primary. I want to mainly use english, and only sometimes i want to switch to spanish. However since i added spanish, my keyboard continually keeps changing to spanish by itself. For example almost every time i start typing into a new document it will revert to spanish, and i will have to manually change to english in keyboard preferences panel at the top right of the main screen. Can someone tell me how to make this stop, it is really really annoying.

OS 10.10.2, macbooc pro

Have you ticked the "Automatically switch . . ." box? I don't use Mavericks or Yosemite enough to understand what the consequences of the "automatic" effect might be, but I'd untick the box if it's currently ticked to see whether the situation improves.

Check your keyboard shortcuts that change keyboard layouts ("input source" and/or "input menu"). You may be inadvertently engaging a shortcut. If so, change the shortcut to something you won't accidentally hit or deactivate that shortcut.
