Very close! Just one correction:

"Lo siento, no hablo español, pero tengo un traductor."

"pero" this means "but" right? How do I prounounce that? I don't want to mean to say "but and say "dog" instead ha ha! - shannonmartell, NOV 4, 2009
The definition page for any word will tell you how to pronounce it: http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/pero - Stobber, NOV 4, 2009
Incidentally, the difference between "pero" and "perro" is just the length of time you roll the 'r'. You'll be fine. - Stobber, NOV 4, 2009
Muchas gracias - shannonmartell, NOV 4, 2009
:) Just don't roll your R too much and no one will think you mean dog. It's pronounced sort of like "pedo" - Goyo, NOV 4, 2009
