I didn’t need that translation.
No, I don’t speak … Spanish?

This comic is edutainment!
Ha, same. I am now Latino.
Hah! I, too, took two years of Spanish in college.
I've only really learned the Spanish I've picked up by osmosis, living in areas with large Spanish speaking populations. I'm actually genuinely proud of myself for being able to read this simple comic. Lmao
Edit:
My favorite Spanish sentence, and the only one I can say with any real confidence: Lo siento, mi español es muy malo.
Apparently, I say it with a near flawless accent, though, because whenever I say it people machine-gun Spanish back to me and tell me "no, no, it's very good!"
I had a Spanish teacher who required students to use only Spanish in class, including when called upon. However, she was okay with the response no se ("I don't know.") After hearing several other students say that a zillion times as a universally-acceptable response, I will never, ever forget that sentence.
Ooh, I like that! I tend to say "no entiendo" but I'm not sure if that's actually correct. No se is a lot easier haha
It's correct! But it wouldn't fly in my class with me as the teacher. >:)
How would you allow a student to express that they do not understand?
I guess it depends on the context, but they'd know how to say "cómo se dice...?" and "qué significa...?" to jog their memory and get more context clues. I'd also allow them to translate what they think I'm saying.
I tend to say "Hablo un poquito", then use a lot of hand gestures.
I took 3-4 years in high school to avoid a language I'm college. I also dropped out of college after my freshman year
Great plan
No hablo Espanyol.
Ahora lo hablas!
Y así empecé hablando español
Tengo un gato los pantalones
Is she doing CPR on that cat? If I tried doing that to mine whilst he was still conscious I'd have no skin left on my forearms in seconds.
Some cats have zero fucks given. Other cats have a hard line. yet others have a line that, when pushed, slowly, over years, results in a greatly expanded cuddle zone.
¿tienes gato?
no
