when my partner and i took spanish lessons, several years ago, i was blown away by how beautiful the spanish words for 'eight baskets' are. i kept repeating the teacher's pronunciation to myself over and over, hoping to get it *just* right. unfortunately, i missed the rest of the lesson. but i still know how to say 'ocho cestas' perfectly.

You could just use the phrase that I use (almost daily).... Necesito una cerveza porque trabajo en el infierno con las lámparas fluorescentes y esto no es mi vida! You can alter this to whatever variation happens to fit your situation. No one at work ever knows what I am talking about but somehow it makes me feel better.

It's actually "Suenyo" (with a Spanish n of course), not "duermo". More easy faux pas are "pollo" (chicken) vs "polla" (dick), and the substitution of the "a's" in "canya" for "o's" - "canya" means a glass of draught beer, "conyo" is the female genitalia.

Si, yo entiendo la problema.Por ejemplo: I once had a spanish teacher who also spoke french, and while in france had attempted to describe the differences between french bread and american bread. Not knowing the word for "preservatives," she tried simply pronouncing it as if it was french. Well, it turns out "preservatives" is, in fact, a word in french. Unfortunately, she had just told them that american bread is full of condoms.
