[English in Bold] ¿Y tú? ¿Qué harás para las fiestas? ¿Tienes planes de viajar también? If you’re planning to travel to Spain or/and Latin-America but you don’t a word, DO NOT DESPAIR my amigos, we’re here coming to your rescue! In today’s lesson we’ll teach you how to ask people in Spanish if they know
English. Here are the phrases that you’ll be learning today: Lo siento = I’m sorry No hablo español = I don’t speak Spanish porque soy de Australia / Irlanda / Canadá… = because I’m from Australia / Irland / Canada… ¿Hablas inglés? = Do you speak English? When speaking to elderly people or someone that you’d show respect and speak in a formal and appropriate manner, you can use all these sentences except for the last one: ¿Hablas inglés?. But don’t worry, all you’ve to do to be polite is drop the ending -S in hablaS: ¿Habla inglés? If you envision a future when you don’t have to rely on English for speaking with Latinos and Spanish people because YOU are FLUENT in Spanish, Before I say goodbye, be sure to be part of our Spanish learning Facebook community to get more tips, lessons and exercises where we run Spanish learning challenges and other activities to practice and learn Spanish.

Can you speak English or can you speak in English?The short answer is, both of them are correct! Each of those expressions is grammatically correct English. Their differences lie with context. “I speak English.” and “I can speak in English.” both mean the same thing.
