Here's an understatement: I love coffee. Hot, cold, milky, black — just no sugar, please. Whenever I travel to a new place and learn bits of a new language, I know my priorities: the first word I learn is "hello" and the second is "coffee." Dutch? Koffie. French? Café. Arabic? قهوة (pronounced qah-huah). And in Vietnamese, it's cà phê. I'm a little shaky on the pronunciation, but I'm getting by so far.
