Try to Speak

We know that all the things of the life needs references and actions. One is the English Language.
  I live in a tourist place and everyday I meet people of others country that speak English.
One day, when I was working a Spanish man asked me:

- Dónde está el tanque de los tiburones? (Where's the shark pool?)

And like I'm Brazilian , I asked:

- O que? Não entendi. (What? I didn't anderstand.)

And we stayed stoped, one looking to other, for one minute.  And I thought: How will I help him? Oh, lord, help me now!!!
 So, I remembered that I speak English. And I said:

- Do you speak English?
- Yes, I do. Where is the shark pool?
- Ok! You go straight and turn left.
- (He smiled) Thank you!
- You're welcome!

Well, people! You need to speak to know like is your English. If you don't know yourself, it's impossible that someone know you.
