This is also unironically a good way to get more comfortable spontaneously speaking a language you're learning. Don't know the word for refrigerator? Cold food box. Don't know how to say yawn? Tired sound. Etc. You'll be more or less understandable and people will probably tell you the word you need when they figure out what you mean.
Toki Pona is overdoing it, but it's also how Esperanto is doing it: fridujo = cold-container. Also German, now you're mentioning it: Kühlschrank = cold-cabinet.
Yep. I don't speak Spanish. Learned all my extremely limited Spanish in restaurant kitchens. When I walk my dogs, and one of the many Spanish speaking Mexicans that lives nearby looks nervous, I tell them, "Perro es bueno por hombre. Perro es no bueno por otra Perro." They understand what I mean even though I just butchered that sentence.
The way transistors and integrated circuits are made is called lithography. Stone scribing. If you describe it that way, electricity sounds like magic.
I can't comment on coffee. As for tea, it depends on the type and how you prepare it. To clarify, when I mention tea, I'm referring to tea made from the Camellia sinensis plant. This includes green, white, oolong, black, heicha, and puerh teas. Anything not from the Camellia sinensis plant is called tisane or herbal tea.
Green tea can be the most bitter, or the least bitter, depending if you make it well. You need to make sure its not boiling water, but water that's around 80c.
White tea is probably easier to make just make sure its not boiling water and it shouldn't be bitter either.
Then again if you're calling something like lemonade bitter, a thing that has so much sugar I don't really know if me telling you would even help.
I don't drink lemonade with much sugar, that would just make it sugar water.
Idk, I'm no expert on tea. But I've had various people offer various teas to me I've the years and unless it was drowned in sugar, it's never not tasted like bitter water to me.
