Communicating in a foreign language can create cause (roughly same reason as below) some embarrassing misunderstandings.

a. It can create cause (this is not a grammatical error, it's more on standard usage. Usually we say "cause bewilderment", "cause incomprehension", "cause confusion" and not "create ..." for such terms relating to suprises) bafflement because of different language habits.
b. It can lead to some humiliation because of different emotional expressions.
c. It can cause a shock because of different lifestyles.

Conclusion:

Communicating in a foreign language can create some awkward moments (since awkward moments are countable nouns, and you used "some" previously) in that it may cause some bafflement, humiliation, and shocks because of different cultural backgrounds. Therefore, due to those cross-cultural miscommunications, using a foreign language does indeed cause a number of misunderstandings.
