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.
Μιλάτε αγγλικά;
Miláte angliká
Do you speak English? (formal)
