Answer: Language barrier.

Explanation:

When people or groups of people originally speak different languages or even dialects, they may experience difficulties in conveying and understanding each other's ideas. Such sort of difficulty is called a "language barrier". In the example given, we seem to have a native English speaker and a native Spanish speaker trying to communicate. The one who's not fluent in Spanish, being unable to perceive the meaning of his interlocutor's words, ends up making a wrong assumption.
