        I took Spanish classes in high school and Japanese classes in college and did a self teaching Russian thing. I very vaguely remember a tiny bit from each. So, no is my short answer.

              "I buy the tablet by the man in the corner."

              Here's some (basic - I'm not going into the whole changing the verb because of the noun's plurality) phrases in Spanish with the literal English translation-

              "Que hora es?" - What time is it?
              "Adonde estas..." Where did (subject) come, coming from?
              "Donde estas..." Where is...? (estamos for plural - "are")
              "Habla espanol?" Do you speak Spanish?
              "Chingar tu madre" - **** your mother!
              "Un conazo" - a pain
              "Cono" - what the hell / grief / do not want
              "Chingo" - Lots of...
              "Plata" - literally silver, but slang for money
              "Guay" - Cool, stylish, sometimes used as slang to refer to your 'brothers', etc
              "tienes dinero?" - got money?
              "Tu conocer este?" - do you know this?
              "Pinche..." - ****ing
              "Que bonita" - How pretty (in reference to female)
              "Que bonito" - How pretty (male)
              "Que bruto" - How harsh
              "Esta es..." - This is (in relation to female subjects)
              "Este es..." - This is (in relation to male subjects)
              "Hasta la vista, baby" - After the movie, baby

              Remember that in Spanish, the noun comes before the adjective (big house = casa grande) and don't forget your accents and acentos!

                  I said they're literal.

                  DUR.

                  But I can see where you're coming from. Vista means to watch, view, see and is slang for movies (which is actually película).

                    My Spanish teacher in high school told us never to trust native speakers.

                    Pastillas are pills i.e. drugs.

                      My spanish teacher was a total nut. I gave up on Spanish ages ago once my grandparents died and I didn't have to bother anymore. Though it did cost me a job at the Grayhound station.
