Fix Spanish excerpt #316

Just nitpicking: as a native speaker, I think you wanted to write the second sentence, but I'm not completely sure.

(Old) Sí, ¡se habla español! / Yes, Spanish is spoken!
(New) Sí, ¡sé hablar español! / Yes, I can speak Spanish!

By the way: awesome project!

Hi @0x2b3bfa0 , that word choice was deliberate — I thought I was being funny! 😅 But maybe my non-native Spanish skills caused confusion instead...

Hi, @bdewilde! If you meant it, yes, it's funny when put in context. 😂 Nevertheless, «¡hay quien habla español!» or even «¡hay gente que habla español!» could disambiguate the meaning a bit more.
