Just kind of flipping that script a little, I work in 911 dispatch, and we get a lot of calls from Spanish speakers.

Sometimes we’re lucky enough to have a Spanish speaking dispatcher on duty, so if they’re not on another call, I can transfer them over, and almost without fail the conversation goes like this

Me (English): 911, where is your emergency?

Caller (broken English): uh… Speak Spanish?

Me (broken Spanglish): ok, let me get you a Spanish speaker, un momento Transfers caller

Spanish Dispatcher (in Spanish): 911 where is your emergency?

Caller: Ok

Spanish Dispatcher: repeats in Spanish

Caller: uh… Speak Spanish?

Spanish Dispatcher (in Spanish): Yes sir (or ma’am,) I’m speaking to you in Spanish, where is your emergency?

Caller: oh! continues in Spanish
