What was your most embarrassing moment?

Lesson Activities

Hello, my name is Priya and I am from Belize. My question is, what was your most embarrassing moment?

So when I was 18 years old, I decided that I wanted to move to Mexico. I was an adult and I felt like I could do anything I wanted. I also taught that I knew Spanish, but I quickly learned that I didn't know as much as I thought. So I was at this mall and there was this man, he was doing a play and he wanted to invite me on stage as a part of his play. And I kept telling him in Spanish, and I taught that. I was saying, I'm embarrassed because embarrassed. I thought they meant the same thing. And he kept telling me, congratulations, congratulations. And I was like, no. And he kept saying, congratulations, boy or girl. And I was like, I am a girl. I told him. It wasn't until afterwards I realized, or I learned that Embar or Ada meant pregnant and embarrassed what I actually wanted to see meant ever Gonzalo.

So that was pretty embarrassing because everyone thought that I was pregnant, but I actually wanted to see that I was embarrassed.
