In the shadow of the majestic Sagrada Família, a small and cozy cafe had opened its doors.

La Marta, la més atrevida del grup, va decidir que demanarien el cafè en català tot i que tenien un fort accent espanyol.

Marta, the boldest of the group, decided they would order their coffee in Catalan even though they had a strong Spanish accent.

La Marta, amb somriure nerviós a la cara, es va dirigir al barista.

With a nervous smile on her face, Marta approached the barista.

"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.

"Bones, vull un café con leche, por favor," she attempted to say in Catalan, but her accent was so noticeable that the entire cafe turned to look at her.

Tot i això, ella no es va desanimar i ho va intentar de nou.

Nevertheless, she was undeterred and tried again.

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

The barista, an elderly man with a large white beard, smiled.

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

"Do you mean 'cafè amb llet', right?"

" Va corregir-lo de bona gana.

he kindly corrected her.

La Marta va assentir emocionada, mentre que el Jordi i Laia es reien.

Marta nodded excitedly, while Jordi and Laia laughed.

Després de fer la seva comanda, els tres es van asseure a una taula prop de la finestra, gaudint de la vista de la ciutat i dels seus cafès recents.

After placing their order, the three sat at a table near the window, enjoying the view of the city and their recent coffees.

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

Despite the curious glances and laughter, they felt proud for having tried.

La història va correr ràpidament per la cafeteria, fins que un altre client, un regular, va parlar.

The story quickly spread around the cafe, until another customer, a regular, spoke up.

Era un home vell i arrugat, la seva pell era com el paper de pell encès per la llum suau.

He was an old, wrinkled man, his skin like parchment lit by the soft light.

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

He raised his cup to the three visitors and said, "A toast to bravery and the spirit of learning.

Benvinguts a Barcelona!

Welcome to Barcelona!"

"Amb aquest encoratjament, Marta, Jordi i Laia continuaren la seva aventura a Barcelona amb molta més confiança.
