I'm a Canadian living in Taiwan who is thinking of moving to Uruguay. My Spanish is limited, so please be patient with me.
I have a Rioplatense Spanish question. If I want to be funny and self-deprecating when saying that my Spanish is very poor, would these be good to use:
1.) Hablo español como un chancho.
2.) Hablo español peor que gringo.
3.) Yo soy in poco burro hablando el Español. (Or would "Hablo español como un burro" be better?)
4.) Hablo español como Tarzán.
5.) Hablo español como una vaca francesa.
I'd like to know if the grammar is correct, but also if there may be some possible misunderstanding in my meaning. I'm open to all suggestions and corrections. (You can even rank them in order from funniest to least funny if that helps.)
¡Gracias!

I use ChatGPT the way I use Wikipedia. That is, I use it as a starting point when researching a topic (ie. some aspect of the Middle Ages), then use Google for more refined and specific searches.
I also ask ChatGPT questions about Uruguay because it can search Spanish-language websites for information. This is useful because I don't know what words to search on, and I'd have to use Google Translate to read the information.
I'm reluctant to use it for anything more than basic tasks like this. I refuse to rely solely on its information, and I look for other ways to verify what I read.
I have used Google's Gemini for some simple things, but it's very rudimentary.
