Well, I did it: made my first coffee order en français here at the Starbucks. Un cafe grand, sil vous plait, and then she smiled and switched to English. Oh no! I said in English, Im trying to do it in French! And then she smiled even bigger and apologised in French, I caught that she always waited to see what was more comfortable for the person. Okay, but ici, right? She nodded and asked in French what roast, so I learned torrefactione moyenne. And then I asked, with appropriate gesture, how to ask for room (for cream). So I also learned avec espace. It was a very learning experience, and not horribly humiliating. I can probably start doing that on the regular. :) Settling in for a work session with Lui Ramirez, see yall in a couple of hours!
