BBC reporter on Spanish-only trek across U.S. stops in Pasco - Washington

If a person answers “no” to the question, “Hablas espaol?,” is he right?

Jos Baig, a BBC Mundo reporter traveling across the northern United States, pointed out the small paradox in that conversational exchange.

“Every person we meet, the first question we ask them is, ‘Hablas espaol?’ ” Baig said. “In some cases, the answer is no, but it’s funny, the fact that they do understand the question.”"*
