Excuse me, excuse me. Sorry, do you speak English?

No, I don't. Sorry.

Oh! My car's broken down and I wondered if you could tell me where to find a garage.

Yeah. Well, you know, that's wasted on me. I don't understand what you're saying.

You don't speak any English at all?

Not a word, no.

It's one of those things where I wish I'd paid more attention in school but...

Excuse me, excuse me. Sorry, do you speak any English?

English? No. What's the problem?

I don't know. I can't understand her.

Hi, my car's broken down and I need to find a garage.

No, I'm so sorry. I didn't understand that at all.

Alright. Well, thanks.

Tell you what, if you go down that way about half a mile, there's a village.

There might be somebody there that speaks English.

[speaking German] Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch. Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

[replies in fluent German] Deutsch? Nein. Sprichst du Deutsch?

Deutsch? Nein. Drei oder zwei Worte aber ich bin nicht flieĂend.

I'm so sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yeah. Sorry about that.

Hey, you never know. Next time you're over, maybe we'll have learned a bit of English for you.

[speaking German] Oder Deutsch vielleicht.

Ja! Es wäre toll.

Thanks anyway.

I can speak English.

So can I.
