My spanish is so limited, I usually only speak it when I'm talking to someone who's english is even poorer. It came in VERY handy when I was the safety manager at a meat plant, as 90%+ of the workers were no english speaking mexican immigrants.

I do know enough to get my meaning across, but it's still painful.
