A learning tip for tutors and teachers: Always save receipts from supermarkets and shops in Spain (or your particular subject country) then make A4 sized slides for the overhead projector with them to take your students shopping. Getting them to pronounce the words and the amount in euros brings a touch of realism to the classroom.

Only if the names of the items purchased are spelt correctly! I come from Denmark, where proper spelling has long ceased to be of popular concern.
Hailing from Denmark and mastering our language and orthography I have many times wondered about the odd items on my cash receipts. Why would I want to buy a herre under tøj, literally 'man below clothes', when all I wanted was ³ó±ð°ù°ù±ð³Ü²Ô»å±ð°ù³ÙøÂá, men's underwear?
Also, why did I one morning end up buying hvede brød, literally 'wheat broke', when all I wanted was ³ó±¹±ð»å±ð²ú°ùø»å, white bread? Also take into consideration the possible lack of diacritics and accents on the receipts; if you buy onions (±ôö°ì) in Sweden, don't be surprised if your cash receipt calls it lok, locomotive!
