Chinese lesson: 我要雪碧 wǒ yào xuěbì
我要学屄 wǒ yào xuébī
The first of these means, "I want Sprite." The latter means "I want to study vagina" (a pretty vulgar way to say it, at that). I don't recommend mixing these up, especially not around gutter-minded shopkeeps.
I find that I have the same problem in the US,although, people aren't always very understanding.
