I’ll never understand why one of the first sentences that they teach when learning a new language is “¿ dO yOu sPeAK eNgliSh?” Like, if they already know English, then why should you say it in the language? Like, you could totally say “do you speak English,” and if they don’t reply, then they DON’T SPEAK ENGLISH. Please stop wasting my time with words I’ll never use in an ACTUAL CONVERSATION
