"I bought it this morning at the library." "Excuse me, the sheets in my room are sale!" "We found a little savage beach, with no one there."

If you're a French, Spanish or Italian speaker travelling in an English-speaking country, you may have said something like this. Everyone around you heard something very different.

That Came Out Wrong, Vol. 6 – On Holiday turns 20 classic false friends into short, darkly funny illustrated stories set in hotels, stations, beaches and gift shops. The stories are written in English; the mistakes and their corrections are in English.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 20 illustrated stories, one per double page
• The line that came out wrong, what the speaker meant, and what everyone heard
• Three correct ways to say it in English: neutral, formal or casual, and sometimes slang
• A one-line "Never again" tip to remember each trap

WHO IT'S FOR
• French, Spanish or Italian speakers learning or using English (B1–C1)
• Expats, international professionals and travellers
• English teachers looking for fun classroom material
• Anyone who has ever said something wrong with total confidence

WHAT YOU GET
• 1 PDF, A5, 48 pages
• Read it on your phone, tablet or computer, or print it at home
• Instant download after purchase

HOW IT WAS MADE
Written by Adrian Morel, who lives abroad, switches between four languages every day, and has made most of these mistakes himself. Written, illustrated and laid out with the help of AI tools for drafting and layout, then reviewed by a fluent speaker.
