When it is okay to translate food dishes names? Using the Spanish name makes all my friends think I'm an amazing exotic cook. Like when I tell them I cook 'Arroz con carne y salsa de tomate' which in English sounds really lame =P (I usually end up saying it extravagantly like an Italian for some reason) |

Studying Spanish at school in a Spanish speaking country I live in New Zealand, Im talking about public education but I doubt private would be any different. I believe it is because we only study literature in 'English' class not the actually language itself. That and the fact that it is almost never compulsory to study a 2nd language (except in private schools) so they never teach these things. |

Translation of “bloody” etc. for frustration (colloquialisms) Yeah I suppose they are used more in some places than others. I'm from New Zealand and they are very common here. Also these words may not be used much in other regions but I think that they would be easily understood/recognised. |

Are there any words in Spanish that are very difficult to translate to English? I've come across lots of other translations such as: crook, scoundrel, cheeky etc.. I've heard it in contexts where the person is calling someone a sinvergüenza to insult them using one of the above translations or 'shameless' as you mentioned. Also I've heard it being used as a friendly sort of 'shameless' used to describe a kind of outgoing person who's not embarrassed by anything. |

Translation of “Are you ok?” or “Are you alright?” I would use "¿Te encuentras bien?" especially if i knew the person was sick or not feeling very well and "¿Estás bien?" more generally like Sergi mentioned =) |
