From the most widely spoken language in the world (Mandarin, Chinese), to the little-known Galego spoken in Galicia, Spain, the following list covers how to say “one more beer please” in 50 different languages.

Try your hand at finding the most sensual-sounding language; this will come in handy when you’re chatting up that gorgeous local! Personally, Latin does it for me.

UPDATE: When this list was first published, readers pointed out enough bad grammar and translation mistakes to keep the State Department busy for a week. Thanks everyone, for chipping in and helping us refine this list! We won’t rest until it’s right, so keep the comments coming.

Best,

The Matador Team

So now that you have circled the world, ordered numerous beers, converted countless currencies, and urinated often, you may rest in a satisfied but sober manner!
