Not quite sure what you are trying to imply here.

I feel sorry for you, you SOOOO completely missed the point made by jensdad..
I don't need your sympathy, but what is the point that you think I SOOOO completely missed (if you have to use that teenage writing style in an attempt to convey your point)?
And "I flew MAD - AMS on Iberia"? So perfect hey!? Looks like you made it up (including the dialogue with the FA) in order to reply this thread, just saying...
Why is it 'perfect'?
Why would I 'make up' a dialogue to reply to the thread?
In case you missed it, the point I was making is that this particular crew member spoke neither Dutch nor English. The announcements were made in Spanish and Spanglish and were almost unintelligible.

Iberia very obviously makes more efforts concerning foreigner languages than BA!
That is at variance with my observations, based on many IB flights, that most of their crews have little no more than rudimentary knowledge of any language other than Spanish. BA on the other hand tend to employ cabin crew proficient on the languages of the route operated and usually several others.

Jensdad has a point.
Which, in your view, is what?
