Saving Up Your Rice

A student of mine doing a dictation exercise heard "cuenta de ahorros" as "cuenta de arroz" - a great mental image!

About

This is a blog dedicated to the funniest mistakes, mistranslations, and non sequitors made by non-native speakers of Spanish doing their best to communicate in that language but falling short. There's no mockery here, only shared laughter at where dictionaries, websites, phone apps, mental confusion, and even well-meaning friends can carry any of us, from beginning students to sign painters to professors with "Dr." in front of their names.

Submissions

Email me funny stuff you'd like to share at ProfeSanchoPanza (at) aol.com. Both text and photos are welcome. I will sort through and post them as time and editorial discretion allow. All contributors will remain anonymous except at their own request. (Aliases and secret identities are encouraged!)
