The Spain Buddy Spanish language survey results

A couple of weeks ago we posed this question to readers of our website “How good are your Spanish language skills?” Here are the results.

Assuming everyone has been totally honest and resisted the temptation to ‘upgrade’ themselves a notch in their self-assessment, we’re pretty impressed by the result.

Only one percent of respondents admitted to speaking ‘not a word’ of the language, everyone can manage day to day niceties at the least and sixty five percent of you are capable of all levels through from holding a basic conversation to being totally fluent.

In no way could this be described as a scientifically authoritative result. As you can see some of the questions are a little tongue in cheek!

Responses came from both residents and visitors, here’s how that number broke down.

Are these the results you’d have anticipated?
