Language barrier

We had a visiting Methodist minister taking Sunday’s service who asked if anyone could speak any languages other than English. A couple of the children said French so he asked what they could say (Bonjour and excusez-moi). He then asked the rest of the congregation so I raised my hand as I can speak a little Spanish, German and Italian as well as French. Fortunately he didn’t ask me what I could say – una bottiglia di vino rosso della casa (a bottle of house red wine) would probably not have been the best phrase to use to a Methodist minister!
