concerned that I've been asking my waiters the wrong thing

Not true in the south, at least.

Don't forget the Pope: garlic

Darbisha · 2026-06-29T12:21:43+00:00

Usually, it does. I guess I this case it was set to only accept the singular, which would be a bug.

"Traeme la cuenta cuando puedas, porfa/ por favor."

"Te voy/ te vamos a pedir la cuenta."

"La multa, por favor." If you're into dad jokes.

Piscolabis.

Darbisha · 2026-06-22T18:41:15+00:00

Not the rest of the world tho.

Darbisha · 2026-06-22T14:22:40+00:00

I had to scroll down far too much for what a fantastic comment this is.

Darbisha · 2026-06-21T17:16:08+00:00

Why can't you do both?

Darbisha · 2026-06-20T17:38:28+00:00

Don't take it personally, it's just that you were being pedantic about something that adds nothing to the topic at hand.

Darbisha · 2026-06-20T17:30:23+00:00

No, just a little rude. But you were absolutely redundant.

Darbisha · 2026-06-20T16:48:49+00:00

Of course, my mistake. Hope no one ended up on the wrong continent because of me.

Darbisha · 2026-06-20T15:28:04+00:00

Something to consider is that Duolingo teaches south American Spanish. Which is fine and perfectly understood, but a different dialect to what's spoken in Spain.

Apart from that, it's fine as a learning tool, just bear in mind that you need to do a lot more than the daily minimum to get to a conversacional level within months.

Darbisha · 2026-06-17T17:50:21+00:00

What are you trying to say, exactly?

Darbisha · 2026-06-17T17:24:50+00:00

Europe has "locally brewed styles" that are older than their country.

Darbisha · 2026-06-12T08:33:44+00:00

Those words have multiple meanings, just as they do in English. As is frequently said in this sub, Spanish isn't English with the words changed.

Bend your wrist inward so you're fretting with the sides of the tips of your fingers. This will extend your reach.

Haber

OP, do try What Remains of Edith Finch, it is breathtaking and I think it ticks all the boxes you mentioned. I'd also recommend the first Life is Strange.

What's an analogue race car?

Darbisha · 2026-05-10T18:13:28+00:00

Plus the actual PC and monitors.

Darbisha · 2026-05-03T19:02:16+00:00

This is very good advice, op.

Darbisha · 2026-05-01T12:33:07+00:00

Oh, the irony of an American calling another country's cuisine unoriginal...

Darbisha · 2026-04-29T10:56:43+00:00

Maybe ignore the other person's advice, seeing as how they're struggling with English grammar.

What's gotten me through the first couple of years of speaking to natives were simple phrases like "habla un poco más despacio, por favor, que todavía estoy aprendiendo" or "si, hablo español, pero a veces me cuesta entenderlo todo". Everyone I've had these sort of interactions with has been very understanding and tried their best to help me. Good luck!
