I have recently been tested at a EFR level C1.8 of Spanish. I say this not to brag, but to set up the fun failure I'm going to tell you about. I am, for all intents and purposes, fluent.
Yet, today, I was not. I was explaining to my teacher class what a "formula" is for a movie, and I used the romantic comedy as an example. I tried to say that the climax would be where the hero runs through the airport. Instead, I said that the climax would be where the hero has a bullfight in the airport. Which would, certainly, be quite climactic.
Yes, boys and girls. Corrida does not equal carrera.
