Re: mispronunciation
I like to enter the words as the same sort of structure, so I'll enter that as cagar vs. cargar

Re: mispronunciation
When some friends of mine first arrived in Spain, they ordered a coche, (car) a cocina (cooker) and a cortina (Curtain).
A phone call arrived to say one of them was ready, they thought they heard the word coche so my friends went off to the garage. The guy looked at them in amazement. The car was not ready and he had not phoned them. So they went off to get the cooker -same result. The same phone call - this time they heard the word 'cortina', but got muddled up and said 'Cortina? I ordered a Renault Kangoo!' I'm glad to say they got everything eventually! :rofl::rofl: |

Unfortunately, we couldn't find any that day! |
Re: mispronunciation
Bonka coffee isn't too bad at all. I had to try it with a name like that.
Food and sex cross over a lot, so you have to be very careful about eating a Rosco or dipping your churro. |
