Language Barrier Incidents

(Todo en espanol)
Silvia (daughter of senora´s friend, 29): I cannot speak English at all.
Me: Do you speak languages other than Spanish? (Instead of saying "espanol" I meant to say "castillano" which is what spanish is called in other parts of Spain, but I really said "de castillo" which means castle)
Silvia looks extraordinarily confused.
Silvia: Princess? Dragon?

To explain "espinaca" to me, my senora had to act like Popeye to communicate that it was made of spinach. She is like 60 and looks like Julie Andrews.
