We share photos of English language that either does not mean what the writer thought it means, or it does not mean anything at all, and then we use these examples to teach correct English.

you and coffee, we only think.
This is the window of a coffee shop in Gunsan (군산시), North Jeolla Province (전라북도), South Korea (대한민국). Any native English speaker should understand the sentence "you and coffee, we only think" even though the grammar is incorrect. Because this is a coffee shop, the owner obviously thinks that everyone should drink more coffee.
There are many ways to rewrite this, but we'll focus on two key points. First, the phrase "you and coffee" is an idea, but you have to add more words to turn this fragment into a sentence. Second, remove the word "only" and just use "we think." So, for one example, you could state, "we think that you and coffee belong together." That actually has a romantic sound to it. You can also shorten this to "you and coffee belong together," because the "we think" is implied.
Also, don't forget to capitalize the first letter of every sentence!
