"We don't speak Japanese, we don't speak Manderin, and we don't speak Satsuma!"
XD
Anyway, my grasp on languages other than English is a couple of random words in German, Spanish and Japanese (Achtung, Puta and Hai; wow, I'm really going to get far on those! ) and really scrappy schoolgirl French. XD
And yes, I do get annoyed whenever I get a blank stare from a foreign person at the checkout as if they expect me to instantly be fluent in their language; however, a broken "Sorry, I don't speak much English" will do wonders for me, cuz it shows me they aren't being rude when they don't speak to me; however, I can't read minds and if someone's fixing me with a blank stare, my instant thought is that they're being rude to me and ignoring me.
