One of my favorite stories to tell related to this was when I went to a stadium to do some work and needed a bathroom.

I noticed some people cleaning that looked Spanish, but I don't like to assume people don't know English so I started with "Do you happen to know where the bathroom is?" So they replied "lo siento, no hablo Ingles." Having taken Spanish in highschool I remember like 8 words and switched "donde estas el bano?" And they replied "no Ingles, no Ingles."

...but... I'm speaking your language now... Lol
