My grandfather was Italian but he immigrated to Brazil with his family when he was 8. He once told me a story about how he went to buy some butter at a local store and almost got punched by the owner. Bit of context here, in Italian butter is called "burro"... in portuguese however, burro means "idiot". So what actually happened is that he went to the store and kept calling the owner an idiot for no reason at all.

When I was living in London in my youth, my German Mum came to visit. She was adamant that even with only her bits of school English from long ago, she’d venture out alone, too. One time she was looking to fix her cracked nailpolish, but she had forgotten the word, and could only gesture out what she meant, so she wiped her nails. The Indian shopkeeper’s eyes lit up and he said triumphantly „Ahh, you want limova!“ Miraculously, that made Mum remember the word „remover“, and she told me later how pleased both the shopkeeper and she had been about the successful business transaction… 😂

[@gijsolff12]

When I was a kid, my family moved to the US for a year for my fathers job. My mom wasn't very used to speaking English. Now, in Dutch we have the word "hoor" which translates to "hear". It is often added to a sentence to add a friendly denial of a presumption someone has, about you wanting something from them. Especially when that presumption they had would give a slight inconvenience to them if it is correct. It's sort off a "don't worry about it" In the first week we arrived, me and my mom went grocery shopping. My mom proceeded to pay for our groceries with some trouble due to the difference in currency. After which the cashier (a very neat, conservative Christian looking woman) asked kindly: would you like a receipt miss? After which my mom, being nervous in her first interaction with an english speaking person, waved her hand dismissively and yelled: "Haha oh no! no thank you HOOR!". Take in mind that the word "hoor", is pronounced the exact same way as "whore". I still can't get over the memory of the cashiers look of utter shock and disdain, and my poor mom's confusion

There's no reason for me to assume that just because her English was as bad as my dad's, then she must've been stupid or something.

I repeated myself several times, more slowly and loudly each time.

When I was in high school I got to take a trip to Europe. In particular to France and Germany. I was in the French language class at my school at the time. When we were in Europe there was another tourist group along the same bridge I think in Germany walking alongside us. It was a Japanese tourist group. We both kind of looked at each other and they said hello. And we said hi back. But we got over enthusiastic and we also said, “Hi! Are you from Japan? We’re from the US.” And then added, “We’re from Ohio…” And suddenly the entire group of Japanese tourists said, “Ohhh…Ohayou!” At the time we all were extremely confused. It was only afterwards that we realized that they thought we said good morning to them in Japanese-when we really just said we were from the state of Ohio. 😅 But it was hilarious after that. Because they were so happy, such a huge change in manner. They even jumped into our group photo our tour guide was taking of our group at the end of the bridge. I’ll never forget that. 😄

I remember back when I was in 3rd grade and was learning some words in english, a teacher had flash cards with words on it and its font were typewritten (back in the days, our school uses typewritter). All I had to do was of course read them. Everything went well until the last flash card. I literally read "me" "ant" because that's exactly how it was positioned and ot looked like two different words. But the teacher shook his head and requested for me to read the word again. Confused, I still read it as it is which was "me" "ant". Yet again he says to give it another try. I paused wondering what was wrong, then realized the word "me" and "ant" didn't make any sense. So I read The word again and this time I got it right. The word was obviously pronounced as "meant" but because of the spacing between letters of this particular flash card, it led me to mispronounce them. 😅

Well, I know a guy named Cliff at work. There's another guy at work who is from Afghanistan. He cracks me up every time he tries to say Cliff. It always comes out as Khalif.

Sigh, my time. I once asked a lady about the "mail room" and she pointed me to the toilet aka "male room". we both were foreigners with different accents 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️

When I was in Wales I was asked if I liked Korean chips. I said I didn't know what they were, which caused some confusion, as they couldn't understand how I hadn't heard of curry and chips.

I enjoy the comments section as much as the videos, it turns out there’s lots of similar hilarious stories 😂

I had to replay this a few times and the more I watched it the funnier it keeps getting

I'm learning a language all alone and this is how I feel when I try saying words. 😂

It’s the most astonishing thing to hear how you pronounce something in real life vs. how it sounds in your head when you think it.

I was once stopped in the street while walking back to work at lunchtime by a young lad with a Midlands accent who wanted to know the way to "Car Ease". I hadn't heard of this shop, but immediately thought it was probably the new car accessories shop I was aware had recently opened nearby. I told him I wasn't sure exactly, but thought I knew where he meant and sent him off towards that, suggesting he asked someone again in the next street. He thanked me and went on his way. It was only when I was almost back at work that my mind suddenly realised that he'd been asking the way to "Curry's ". Fortunately, Curry's was also in roughly the direction I'd sent him!

When I was attending my English courses in the USA, I used to go to Subway for lunch and every time I order Jalapeno chips with my sub. At that time I did not know the J is pronounced as an H in Spanish 😂

I just love how the shopkeeper's sudden realization with the "Oh!"

True story, my wife is Finnish and as there are no "ch" or "dj" sounds in Finnish she is sometimes struggling. Once she went to a small cornershop to buy some chewing bones for the doggos. "Excuse me, do you have Jews?", she asked. The man behind the counter was a bit perplexed but replied that he was from Pakistan. "No", she said.. "do you have shoes?" The man behind the counter apologised and explained that it's a small corner shop. "No, no..," my wife continued" Do you have juice?" "Ah, yes", said the man, pointing at the fridge. She didn't get the bones for the dogs but I got some vitamin C. 😂

When speaking any of the Romance languages (French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian), I often have difficulty keeping track of the gender of nouns and often used the wrong articles. German is especially difficult because there are 3 genders and the articles change if the same noun is an object or subject in the sentence. When I was working in Tunisia (where very few people speak English), I was conversing in my broken French and trying to understand my co-workers who were speaking to me in a mix of French and Arabic. Because of my Chinese heritage, several co-workers asked if I was good at karate (which really is a Japanese form of martial arts) and whether I knew Bruce Lee (Bruce Lee films were very popular in the 1970s). Trying to be clever/witty, I replied: “Mais oui. Bruce Lee est ma cousine.” Everyone laughed, and at first I thought they were laughing at my joke. In fact, they were laughing at my poor French grammar. you see, “cousine” is feminine, and I should have said “mon cousin.” Finally, someone explained to me that perhaps I am Bruce Lee’s sister but Bruce Lee is not my (female) cousin.

You never know, maybe that ol' Bruce is transitioning 😁 anyway kudos for speaking so many languages !
