    When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (סËù). I suggested that they should stay at ¡°bed and breakfast¡± houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
    ¡°We didn¡¯t stay at bed and breakfast houses,¡± they said, ¡°because we found that most families were away on holiday.¡±
    I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ¡°VACANCIES¡± meant ¡°holidays¡±, because the Spanish word for ¡®holidays¡± is ¡°vacaciones¡±. So they did not go to house where the sign(±êÅÆ) outside said ¡®VACANCLES¡¯, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ¡®NO VACANCLES¡¯, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
    We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ¡®DIVERSION¡¯ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ¡®DIVERSION¡¯ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole£¨¶´£©.
    English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris when someone offered me some more coffee, I said ¡®Thank you¡¯ in French. I meant that I would like some more.  However, to my surprise,  the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ¡®Thank you¡¯ in French means ¡®No, thank you.¡¯
