Tonight I was reminded of a blunder that I forgot to blog. Not that the world needs to know all of my Spanish mishaps, but I thought this was a funny one.
Last weekend I was explaining the game “ticket to ride” all in Spanish. And as we were playing, one of the choices is to draw a face down card. Well, not knowing how to say face down in Spanish, I decided to call it a surprise card. So I said…
“¿Quiere una saprissa?” blank stares…oh right, that’s the soccer team…
“¿Quiere una sorpresa?” Another word I’ll never forget.
