Let me tell you a funny pronounciation error!
My son speaks quite fluent Portuguese, and as you may or may not know, Portuguese letters have lots of squiggles on top of and under some letters.
We were served a meal by native Amazonians in the 'jungle' and they served pancake-y bread-ish thingies. Maybe made from tapioca? My son wished to compliment the family on the meal and said that the flat thingies tasted like bread. There are two words that have the same letters but different squiggles. Unfortunately he didnt say bread, but said it tasted like penis. The family fell around laughing and it was explained to son, by our guide his error. Son was very embarrassed.
