There are many ways to say sorry in Spanish:
In Spanish, perdonar and disculpar are slightly different. Disculpe is what you say when you bother someone, and perdonar involves the act of forgiveness. Then, if despite all excuses, I can’t forgive “A pesar de todas tus disculpas, no te puedo perdonar".

Good news!
Spanish people want to understand what foreigners say. They are very tolerant of
pronunciation and grammar errors. Many people speak English and if it takes too much time, but also in general,
they take advantage of every opportunity to change into English.
The Spanish pronunciation is a bit different than in most other languages. This
also applies to the wording of the sentence.
The best advice is: practice, practice, practice
