Broken Spanish

[Iris]

Broken Spanish is not translated español roto. The problem is I don't know how to say it. Help anybody?

'español chapucero'

I speak broken Spanish. = Chapurreo (el) español.

I've moved these two posts here because they deserve their own thread (http://forums.tomisimo.org/showthread.php?t=1120). :)

I've never personally heard chapurreo/chapucero in Mexican usage, but I don't doubt that it works.

Here are also some other options:

Él habla medio mocho* el español - He speaks broken Spanish.
Dijo "xxx" en su español deficiente - He said "xxx" in his broken Spanish.
No habla muy bien el español - He speaks broken Spanish.
Trataba de decir, en español poco entendible, xxx - He tried to say, in broken Spanish, xxx.

* Concerning the word mocho, I'm pretty sure that's slang used only in Mexico
