I always think that if you are going to visit a country
The very least you can learn is how to say please and thank you.

There's a Mexican bar in Spitalfields where on Sundays the staff only speak Spanish.
To make things 'quirky' and 'fun'. I asked for the bill in Spanish because I know what it is anyway - but I told them I was a quarter Spanish, on the count of me being quarter Spanish, before I knew about the Spanish speaking thing, after that they looked at me in disgust for the rest of the time I was in there because I only knew a few phrases.
