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.
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.
Hah! I, too, took two years of Spanish in college.

I tend to say “Hablo un poquito”, then use a lot of hand gestures.

You just needed to say “como se dice”.
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 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
