I still feel dumb every day when I speak Czech. Those hot potatoes will roll around in my mouth no matter how hard I try.

The other morning at the hospital, I was chatting with the nurse. On my way out she said, “You have very nice Czech.” After that, I went to grab a coffee and was chatting with the cashier about the coming weekend. On my way out she said “You have very nice Czech.”

“But these hot potatoes,” I kind of stuck my hand in my mouth. She said I shouldn’t worry about it so much.
