Practical Matters Madrid   Before You Go   When You Are There   Language   Offices to Serve You Abroad The Spanish are pleased when foreigners try to speak their language. Don't worry about making mistakes; although they will correct them, it is always with a smile, and a sincere attempt to understand what you are trying to communicate. English is the most commonly taught foreign language; the younger generation usually know a little and often quite a lot. Although pamphlets in foreign languages are available in the larger museums, signs and guided tours in foreign languages are rare.
