No hablo español

I tried ordering Jordan's dinner from a Colombian restaurant that delivers. Turns out they do not speak English. However, I don't just give up (not that kind of a girl), and thus the broken conversation from 3 years of taking Spanish 1 went something like this:

Me: Hable ingles?
Her: No hablo ingles
Me: Does someone there speak english
Her: No hablo ingles
Me: Can I place an order for delivery?
Her: No hablo ingles
Me: ummm.. errr.. [this is when I decided to blurt out the order and see what she says].. Una chuleta de pollo empanizada [Menu says its Breaded Chicken Cutlet]
Her: Una?
Me: Si.
Her: algo mas? [anything else?]
Me: No
Her: [in spanish she asked for my address - I understand this much]
Me: [since I remember #s well] ochenta y siete, cero, ocho [87-08] Justice Avenue.... JJJJ-UUUU-
Her: Si, si, apartamento?
Me: [pause - thinking "what's 10 what's 10"] ... diez .... J [shit, I forgot how to say J in spanish]
Her: jota?
Me: Si! [excited she understood J and remembered jota meant 'j']
Her: numero de telefono?
Me: [slowly but surely] seis-siete-dos-seis-cuatro [you get the point, I said my phone number]
Her: [something, something].. quince minutos
Me: Gracias.
Me: BABE! You're food will be here in 15 minutes!

=) hehehe.. aren't you proud of me? Glad I listened all those 3 years being in the same spanish class level =P
