I know snippets of several languages, but I don't believe I know the word for GIANT SPIDER in any language except English. Or just plain "spider" for that matter.
Of course if you are studying from the Japanese equivalent of "Wicked Spanish" (the best language guidebook in the universe) you WOULD know things like that. Examples:
"Explain to your innkeeper that you'd rather have private accommodations: Pero you prefiero un cuarto sin escorpiones. ("But I'd prefer a room without scorpions.").
Politely ask your waiter what you're eating: QuS hace immovil dentro del mole? (What lies motionless under the spicy chocolate sauce?).
And Mi abuelo perteneci a un sindicato obrero ("My grandfather belonged to a labor union") may be just the ticket for kidnap victims of revolutionaries."
