Language Barrier

Student:  "Mrs. A, I was with my family for Easter and I told them about my prom date.  He is the Italian foreign exchange student and my family was asking me about him.  I told them that he speaks sort of broken English and then one of my relatives asked me if he spoke his native language.  I said, 'yes, he speaks Spanish'."
Me:  "People from Italy speak Italian."
Student:  "I know that now!  I was so embarrassed and my family won't quit making fun of me."
Me:  "Yea...you should be embarrassed."
