Last week I went by the baby store in our little pueblo looking for a jogging stroller. I had planned out in my mind what I was going to say and it really made a lot of sense. I knew the word for run which is correr, and I figured I could wing the rest.
What I said " Necessito un Stroller(point to stroller) por correos, en Estados Unidos es jogging stroller (said with spanish accent)" In my mind I said "I need a stroller for running, in the United States it is a jogging stroller"
What I actually asked for was to have a stroller shipped to the United States. You see correos is actually the word for the post office. They were so confused as to why I would want to mail a stroller to the U.S. Thankfully a friendly lady helped me out and told the shop ladies what I really wanted. And in case you are wondering, no, they don't have jogging strollers in Spain, at least not at that store. The ladies thought I was insane for wanting to run with a stroller.

The only way you'll learn is by trying--so good for you for going and not being too scared to try! And I bet you will never forget the word for jogging stroller ;)
