Spanish for Dummy Travelers

Spanish spoken here
One of the staff at the Antisocial Network says that he's qualified to be a world traveler because, or so he claims, he can say "beer" in ten different languages. He admits that he's at a slight disadvantage in some countries, however, because he can only say "bathroom" in nine of them (rim shot!). We can't confirm his count, but we do know that he can say "Una cerveza, por favor," and after quatro o cinco cervezas, he can ask "¿Donde esta el baƱo?" with the best of them. It makes no difference that, or so we've been told, he speaks Spanish with a French accent. Even if that's true, it's a safe bet he's more fluent than Louie Doverspike, who totally screwed the pooch by pretending to share his expertise in "Common Spanish Words" for USAToday TravelTips (another Demand Media website). God help anyone who needed that advice...
