If it makes you feel any better, I do that too, and I can't even speak Spanish. Typically, the conversation goes:

"Ah, habla Espanol?"
"Sí, un poquíto."
"(waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah), no?"
"Um. Que?"

I know the feeling. Everything German and Swedish (ok, particularly Swedish) hides around corners to leap out at me. I actually came home at Christmas to an advert on the doormat entitled 'Bedförd'. Damned Ikea follows me everywhere . . .

On a more positive note I am certain there will be a Spanish soc of some variety at uni. You should join it and plague them. Also, *I* won't get fed up of you speaking Spanish!

You should've pretended to get frustrated with something in the queue and muttered a Spanish expletive, and done some European-ish arm gesturing.

Also any time I hear a north American accent I feel an urge to say, "oh hey, whereabouts are you from then? I'm going to San Francisco!" And I haven't even left the country yet...

I've picked up the Canadian ability to spot a red maple leaf symbol from over a mile away.
