haha... quite the predicament -- for a teaspoon, use a regular spoon (a normal size one), and for a tablespoon, use three of those spoonfuls

A tablespoon is roughly the same size as what you're calling a "spoon," hence the name table spoon. A teaspoon is about 1/3 the size, so it's going to be harder to measure without measuring spoons.
Though they differ depending on whether you're talking US, British, Australian, or otherwise, a tablespoon is 15ml and a teaspoon 5ml.
2 tablespoons = 2 spoons.
2 teaspoons = 2/3 of a spoon.
Also, in response to lee m, *4* tablespoons equals a quarter cup, not 3.
Furthermore, the 20ml and 10ml definitions given above are inacurrate. In the USA, they are defined by law as 15ml and 5ml (21 CFR 101.9(b)(5)(viii)).

A teaspoon is about a spoon size, a tbsp can be two - three, depending on the size of your spoons!
Go to the dollar store and get a measuring set...every home should have at least one!

Not knowing what kind of spoon you own, it is difficult to say.
However, I did once see that a teaspoon was 25 drops of a medicine dropper of thin liquid ..... so if you want to take it from there, 3 teaspoons is a tablespoon...

The spoons included in sets of flatware vary widely, so it's not really possible to equate them with actual measuring spoons.
3 tablespoons equals a quarter cup (do you have a measuring cup?)
and 3 teaspoons equals one tablespoon.
You know, in most recipes (though not in baking cakes and such), amounts are more like guidelines, and you can add more or less as you please. So if it tells you 1 teaspoon of curry powder, go ahead and use the small spoon from your flatware set. Personally, I like curry and would dump in some extra!

2 tablespoons equals 6 teaspoons

If you are using the spoons that you use to eat (silverware)...
The smaller spoon is a teaspoon and the bigger spoon is a tablespoon.

Take a regular teaspoon. Use 3 of these. It is roughly a tablespoon.
