When correcting people, tell them that you're telling them the imperative or subjunctive of the word instead of the present tense.Originally posted by Boshko
When correcting people, try to get it right. No hable espanol is HE does not speak spanish, unless of course you're dealing with usted which complicates things a bit...
Also gimmi/I want is really good to learn (yo quiero), can be used for anything once you learn the words for a few things you want, that's how I get by...
Yo No hablo Castellano - I do not speak Spanish
Tu No hablas Castellano - You do not speak Spanish
El no habla Castellano - He does not speak SpanishIf you look around and think everyone else is an *******, you're the *******.Comment

This thread reminded me of a trip to Germany last year. I kept ordering "ein dunkel, bitte" all the time at restaurants and bars and eventually one of my Chinese friends had to ask me what the hell I was saying. To him it sounded like I ordered "ein donkey beer"

Are you trying to tell all the Spanish people you say this to, that they do not speak Spanish?

No, one of my colleagues does that and it's hilarious. The Italians on the other end of the phone haven't got a clue what she's on about and they end up talking in English.Comment

Finkian: I have had no big problems in Italy. Many people do speak a little English and those who don't are generally very helpful and do their best to understand you and try to help you.
Expect them to wave their arms, pointing at things and saying things like "i miei capezzoli esplodono con la gioia"
