Which is correct?
In case I meet a person who may speak English (I'm not sure if he does), I'd like to ask him. Which of these questions is/are correct?
1. Do you speak English? You dont?
2. You speak English, don't you?
3. You speak English, right?
I tend to think 2 and 3 are correct, but is there a way 1 can be used as well?

The same trick works for almost any living language as long as you know its native name, and this is something you really cannot miss when you learn a new language.

Deutsche?
Français?
Other than that, 2. and 3. might have slightly different connotat
