If you go to a restaurant ,and you want to order, and the waitor speaks only spanish, and you've just started out, and can't understand them because they are fluent.How can you understand them. They talk so fast.

If you talk like you type, I would say you talk fast too! Run on sentances are common in both langauges 
. I suggest you ask them to speak slower or say ¿mande? -which is like pardon me, this will generally clue them in that you are having a hard time following them.

Welcome to the forum Gag... I think Toothpastech nailed it. Just ask them to speak more slowly, then, if you still can't understand them go get a pizza.
