Hmm. No habla espanol? Oh dear.
Actually, ever noticed how the first thing anyone learns in a new
language is how to say "I don't understand English" (or whatever
the new language is). I mean, I can say that in French, German,
Japanese and English. Plus possibly Spanish if the above is
correct :)
It seems to me to be completely useless. I mean, replying in another
langauge and looking blank conveys the same message... saying "I
don't understand English, can you speak French?" is pretty silly,
why not "Je ne comprendez pa. Parlez-vous Francais?". Same idea,
much reduced learning time. Why not learn "where can I find a
translator"?
