When in Spain, don't speak Spanish to me
You know, I'm not fluent in Spanish, but I'm not completely
incompetente either. I can order a beer at the bar,
but ask me to read the menu and I'm lost. It's not that I'm
lazy, it's just that the nuances of the language are like a
maze of confusion. But hey, that's why the locals appreciate
my attempts at conversation. They're entertained by my
creative use of gestures and charades. Who needs
language when you have 
?
But seriously, if you're planning a trip to Spain, do yourself a favor and learn a few basic phrases like "¿Dónde estoy?" or "¿Dónde está la bañera?" It'll save you from a world of trouble, like when you try to ask for the toilet and end up with a confused look from the locals. Trust me, it's a real disaster.
