My russian flatmate once enthusiastically said he couldn't wait to see the sea cats. Turns out he meant sealions 😂
Your learning a whole other language and that's really cool! Don't let anyone make you feel bad about mistakes.

My Chinese girlfriend does this quite a bit.
Eagle beans = chickpeas
Passionate fruit = passionfruit
Metal cloth = tinfoil
They're always hilarious, and definitely not something to be worried about.
