Spanish is certainly not your first language. Or possible even your second. You could use some brushing up in this area, but ultimately you can get by with your use of the English language, speaking to over 300 million people. That's not too bad!

Right!
You're quite talented at the art of translating Spanish to English. You missed some of the tougher ones, but we'd still be willing to bet you've taken a Spanish class or two in your life. Or you just learned a lot from Hispanic acquaintances!

Right!
Buen trabajo! That means "good job" in Spanish! But you probably knew that already since you're a top notch translator. We have to assume you're at least mildly multilingual, because you even got the tough ones on this quiz!
