Ok so I haven't used much Spanish since middle school but...
¿Esto es un baño?
Lo siento, no hablo español.
... Are those the correct forms?
"¿Esto es un baño?" Would be "Is this a bathroom?" If you were pointing at the door I think any spanish speaker would understand. Though I would use "¿Aque es el baño?" Which would be closer to "Is this the bathroom?"
If you weren't pointing at a door and want to ask where the bathroom is it'd be "¿Dónde está el baño?" Translation: "Where is the bathroom?". Other options are
"¿Me enseñas dónde está el bano?" = Can you show me where the bathroom is?
"¿Puedo usar tu baño?"= Can I use your bathroom?
"¿Tienen un baño que puedo usar?= Do you have a bathroom I could use? Or just "¿Tienen un baño?"= Do you have a bathroom.
"Lo siento no habló español" is "I'm sorry I don't speak Spanish." Alternatives:
Either sentence could be started with a form of "disculpa". But honestly my thumbs are getting tired of typing so I'm just going to leave it there.
As I'm someone slowly and difficultly learning Spanish, for the soul purpose of visiting because, yo quiero comé muchos tacos de cabeza y bebe unas micheladas, I appreciate you. I'll bet I missed a dozen accents.
Bebe is drinks. beber is to drink. I want to drink. Yo quiero beber. (or tomar) synonyms.
Appreciate the correction. All the conjugations are hardest thing for my brain to remember.
