Ca: "Bones, vull un café con leche, por favor," va intentar dir en català, però el seu accent era tan evident que tota la cafeteria es va girar a mirar-la.

Ca: El barista, un home gran amb una gran barba blanca, va somriure.

Ca: "Et refereixes a un 'cafè amb llet', oi?

Ca: " Va corregir-lo de bona gana.
En: he kindly corrected her.
Ca: La Marta va assentir emocionada, mentre que el Jordi i Laia es reien.

Ca: Tot i les mirades curioses i les rialles, es sentien orgullosos per haver-ho intentat.

Ca: La història va correr ràpidament per la cafeteria, fins que un altre client, un regular, va parlar.
En: The story quickly spread around the cafe, until another customer, a regular, spoke up.
Ca: Era un home vell i arrugat, la seva pell era com el paper de pell encès per la llum suau.

Ca: Va aixecar la seva tassa cap als tres visitants i va dir: "Un brindis per l'atreviment i l'esperit d'aprendre.
