When my oldest arrived at 2 1/2, she spoke very little clear Spanish. It was more Spanish baby talk. We got by with very little Spanish. I learned to say "Do you want milk?" and "Do you want to go to the toilet?" and "It is time to go to sleep!" -- (I also learned never to ask 'do you want to go to sleep' because the answer is always "No"!)
Sassy arrived with a favorite doll and a worn-out bunny. She slept with those PLUS the ten or more stuffed animals that were gifts from friends and family. She arranged them around her each night in a ritual circle and during the day she stuffed them all under her covers.
She was speaking and understanding English within three months. Don't worry - be happy!
