Pattern: “Do you speak …?” (questions + politeness)
A reusable question pattern for travel and conversation.
The pattern
Memorize this as a chunk. Then swap one word at a time.
- Swap the language word: English → French → Spanish (etc.).
- Watch formality (formal vs informal ‘you’) — it often changes the verb form too.
