My business trip to Spain went well. 99% of dialogues went like this.
>Hola >s:Hola >Habla inglés? >s:No Virtually nobody speaks English in Spain.
Information centre: >Hola - Hello >H-hola >Do you speak English? >Que? Aaah, English? No, no. Yo no hablo inglés. For fuck sake they don't even speak English in some tourist information centres.
Nobody in restaurants, bars, American fast-foods or almost anywhere. Not young people. Not even students.
Only some people at the airport. They're not required to be able to speak English even on the airport!
One of four of our receptionists.
And many people that turned out to be former foreigners or tourists.
Then we met a young Spanish guy in one restaurant. He told us that usually they have ten or more years of mandatory English lessons in their school system. But nobody bothers to learn English.
Just for fun I also tried French and German.To no avail. Surprisingly.
I communicated in Spanish thanks to the translation service of Google only with some minor issues. But all that was a huge lesson about Spanish culture for me.
Spanish business partner couldn't keep to the terms. We promptly tried another one. And he failed too.
I couldn't understand how such a lazy shithole can live so comfortably and how it successfully pretends to be a First World country.
>W-WHY DONT THEY SPEAK MY LANGUAGE? WHATS WRONG WITH THEM
fuck off Nigel
Come to Quebec and I'll do the same to you

We don't speak your shitty pirate language in here. Go fuck yourself and give back Gibraltar
Henry James
Aprende español tú, pirata de mierda
John Gutierrez
Maybe you should have learnt Spanish for your business trip to Spain
Wyatt Myers
Why the fuck would they speak English in SPAIN?
John Hall
kékós
Noah Howard
Good.
Why are you visiting another country and FORCING people to speak in YOUR own language instead of theirs?
If I go to Russia I won't expect russians to speak in spanish to me, if you go to spain you shouldn't expect spaniards to speak in english to you.
Learn spanish next time you travel to a spanish speaking country you inbred moron.
Leo Johnson
savages didn't want learn something, only that they wanted to do its take bananas from palms and eat them
James Morgan
Even though I do speak English, when asked by a foreigner I always say I don't.
So, yes, basically there are two kinds of Spaniards: Those who can't speak English and those who can but aren't willing to.
Colton Morgan
Because OUR language is the world language.
Charles Perry

Charles Stewart
So, you want to make bussiness there but you are too cheap to don't even hire an interpretor?
I agree, those guiris don't want to learn spenspek.

When I go to Spain dialogues go like this
>Do you speak English? >Ehh...biste auch n Deutscher oder? >Ja >Ahh n Bayer ey, ja komm trink erstma ein Bierchen mit uns, oder ne MAAAAßßß wie ihr dat sacht haha

But did you meet any hot chicks?
Owen Stewart
How so? Spanish is the most popular by number of countries that speak it and Chinese by number of people that speak it?
Tyler Carter
That happened to me too. Instead of using a suave line to pick up chicks in clubs the first thing I always said to them was "Ingles entiendo?", they always shook their heads in a conclusive no.
Adam Jackson
Fuck any Spanish cougars?
Christian Thomas
That's because you're indian
Lincoln Murphy
Que? Aaah, English? No, no. Yo no hablo inglés.
Nathan Russell
I think they hate British more than any Indian
Thomas Allen
La primera respuesta es siempre la mejor respuesta.
A partir de hoy, voy a publicar respuestas de texto en este canal digital denominado "Sup Forums" única y exclusivamente en el más correcto y puro castellano, con tildes y todo y libre de cualquier influencia léxica o semántica del barbarismo inglés, por mínima que sea, inclusive de términos aceptados por la RAE.

They can speak English, they just pretend they can't to mess with you.
Wyatt Nelson

Landon Martin
Which leaves the number of people that both CAN INTO and WILLS INTO speak english to ~-potato^0%

Estos españoles y su secesionismo...
Igual apoyo la idea.
Levi Torres
>Why would we learn it? Have no idea, maybe to communicate with foreigners as the 2nd most visited country on earth?
But the French with their special autism can get away with it, too
Adam Foster
Boa ideia. Monolinguistas que se fodam.
Zachary King
They probably speak a bit of english but are too insecure to follow up a conversation. This for the younger people but older people >40 years old, they just didn't study english in school, they simply didn't have a single hour in school of english, they studied french and their local language (catalan, basque or galician). Most kids in Spain today speak much better english than their parents.
Jordan Lee
English is the language of dogs
Jaxon Baker
Te apoyo solamente porque dijiste castellano.
Nathaniel Ward
That is VERY rude
Easton Taylor
We had a real empire unlike the French. We don't need to learn other languages as ours is alredy imperial

british tourists are little better than animals, good for the spanish

The Spanish spoken by Spain sounds much better than the dirty mud version of Spanish spoken by Mexico.
Robert Perez
The Effpaniff spoken by the Efffpanifff people sounds horribly gay. Sorry.

Of course Castillian is a pure language corrupted by Andalusians and sudacas youtu.be/phOoNN4HFDw

maybe you should try learning the language of the place you are visiting instead of expecting natives to learn your language
Ryder Parker
Dude wtf that's rather annoying
Alexander Parker
Spanish are dumb
Cameron Sanchez
>mfw no hispanic blood at all but understand spanish because studies >mfw i can pretend to be a chicano whenever i want
John Murphy
That's impossible for them.

Until you speak, because never in my life have i met an American with a proper Spanish pronunciation

How do Indios in the US react when you talk to them in Spanish?

>go to China >only Chinese people that initiate a conversation in English are trying to scam you
I expected that but unfortunately some people I went with didn't realise that so they paid £50 each for a taxi journey which was only £7 during rush hour
On the other hand >go to China >ask how much something is >get "你的中文是非常好!" in reply
I'm with Nigel on this one. It's sad that a country that is supposed to be first world, is in Europe, and is the second most visited country speaks very little English. You're all acting like English wasn't that big of a deal, but it is. Proof is that you're all reading this very same post on this language and you need it to communicate among yourselves. You certainly aren't using French nor Spanish, you are using English. English is the moder Latin, get with the times.
Daniel Thomas
Germans, Italians and French are as bad as us desu
Oliver Watson
If someone start speaking in English with me, I fake that I don't understand.
Feels good m8
Owen Moore
Germans speak English if they are younger than 50
Cameron Baker
We are ng english so dumb burgers can understand our autistic screeching. Fuck off fat fuck

What does blood have to do with anything? This is an entire new level of muh heritago holy fuck

>ywn be a native English speaker I will always ALWAYS have this shitty spic ORALE ORALE accent and people will immediately discriminate me all OVER THE FUCKING WORLD.
FUCK SPANISH FUCK SPAIN FUCK THE INDIANS FOR GETTING BTFO BY 40 STARVING CONQUISTADORES and especially... FUCK MY LIFE
Jaxon Robinson
Lots of Germans speak English French people outside of Paris may know a few words not sure about Italians
William Hernandez
You look like a fat ass mongolian that throws arrows. The accent is the least of your corncerns
Adrian Perez
But that's your own fault, our accent in English is different (it sucks, but in a different way)
Dylan Allen
>tfw you hear a spanish speaker trying to pronounce the word mountain
gets me every time
Sebastian Jones
Well maybe we should make an effort to make it not so much of a big deal and have more easy lives.
Oliver Jones
En 20 años el español será el idioma más importante por mucho que os joda.
Justin King
>Orale ese güato how is tu cabeza loco? >Spanish Some autistic Spanglish will be formed in the US.
Josiah Phillips
Hence why Germany does much better than Spain?
Also there's something I don't get. Spaniards are going autistic about their language. But despise everyone who speaks it. They seem to hate Latin Americans, they seem to hate themselves. Yet you mention that hey dude maybe it'd be good to be bilingual with an actual relevant language and they go austistic about muh pride.
Go back to forocoches and marca.
Levi Barnes
>no hispanic blood at all but understand spanish because studies I'm sorry but from that statement I can only assume that you're not schooled.
Elijah Ramirez
or, an american
Camden Lewis
yes they speak spanish in spain
Brody Barnes
Eso solo se lo creen normis autistas que piensan que aquello que se habla en USA es español y no una jerga degenerada que se esta deteriorando a pasos agigantados
Hudson Wilson
>This buttmad Chicano Orale güato stop pendejadas holmes and compra some gasolina
Christopher Myers
Because most Germans go to school. All Spanish ever do is siesta.
Cameron Garcia
Como é que eu entendo essa merda?
Nolan Harris
Explain the Japanese then.
Gabriel King
I honestly doubt that's going to happen. Latin America isn't projected to become a powerhouse or become developed.
Jackson Thompson
If one had hispanic family members that spoke Spanish, like a parent or grandparent, I think it would be a higher likelihood that they learn Spanish.
You sound Turkish as fuck. You should go and help your parents in the Kebab store

>Tourist asks for directions >I explain him how to get there in English >I tell my friend ''hehe, see? my English is very good, you didn't even know what to say'' >My friend says ''I understood everything but I will never answer a guiri. We are in Spain and here we speak Spanish''
