italianjon...
i agree with pistongone...i am learning spanish and at checkin i started some pigeon spanish with the senorita whereupon as a joke she started firing things at me as only they can...had to revert to the '' no entiendo...mas despacio por favor..''( do'nt understand...slow down..!!)
english is the language of aviation...as pistongone says do the best you can in the bar and shop etc but they know that its english for flying..
now , i am told that in the canaries they do a local PPL if they do'nt have english..for use within the islands only and if they want one that is good for elsewhere they must have english...but even there with so many international flights they speak english..
might be polite but cause more confusion to try...
i have a friend and even she says the spanish speak fast...and she is peruana...!!!
if she says that methinks..what chance would i have ..!!
