The Time I Tried to Order Coffee in Spanish **

One of the most embarrassing moments of my life happened during a trip to Spain. I was trying to order a coffee at a local cafe, but I was so nervous that I completely forgot how to say "coffee" in Spanish. I ended up stumbling through a series of broken phrases, trying to communicate what I wanted. The barista looked at me with a confused expression, and I could feel my face turning red. Finally, I just pointed at the coffee machine and said "This one!" in English. The barista laughed and said, "Ah, you want a café con leche?" I felt so silly, but I learned a valuable lesson that day: even if you think you know a language, it's always good to practice!
