Translation:
Cat: Do you have cat?
Girl: No
Cat: Now you have one!
Girl: And that’s how I got a cat.
Tengo un gato los pantalones
No hablo Espanyol.
Ahora lo hablas!
Y así empecé hablando español
¿tienes gato?
no
Hah! I, too, took two years of Spanish in college.
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
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
I tend to say “Hablo un poquito”, then use a lot of hand gestures.
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.
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 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.
I didn’t need that translation.
No, I don’t speak … Spanish?
This comic is edutainment!
Oui
Spanish?
Si.
Sí*
Simón
Simón, güey*
See what?
(That joke works much better spoken)
See the cat. Didn’t you look at the comic?
Sea World
What sea? It’s Pool World!
