Spanish, spanish, and more spanish. I'm not fluent by any means, but I can understand more than I can come up with on the fly, and I can almost always reorganize whatever I need to say using words I do know.

I think I've mentioned this before, but... way back when I worked in pizza delivery, about once a night we'd have a Spanish-only customer call in. Our boss would speak to them in English, but with a painfully stereotyped, drawn out Spanish accent. "Joo wanna peeesa por deeliberry, mang?" And I swear to god, most of them were able to understand.
