I embarrassed myself by misreading where my coworker is from

My coworker have a hat he wears all the time that's says "Peru". He has a thick accent so i figured that's where he was from. I wanted to better communicate with him so i downloaded Duolingo and started learning Spanish for the past 2 months. I also bought AI translation headphones(but I have other reasons on top of this) and i asked if he wanted to help me test them out. Turns out she didn't speak Spanish because he's not from Peru. He's from PALAU!!! I've been misreading his hat for months!
