Spanish speakers sometimes translate too directly. For example, saying I want coffee is correct, but Can I have some coffee, please? is more polite. Also, remember that juice is a general word. In English, we usually say the fruit name, like orange juice o apple juice, not just juice alone when specifying. Avoid saying I want a water; instead, say I want some water o Can I have a glass of water?
