    We see it in movies or on TV, or maybe out and about during our days...
    ...and we get a good laugh, or possible quite embarrassed...
    What funny or awkward 'lost in translation' moment have you experienced or witnessed?

    I work for a foreign company so Im sure I have lots of stories but can't think of one at the moment. There has been many WTF moments though where I had to go back and get clarification as to what my bosses meant.

    Last time I went to Subway the Indian cashier must have asked me 5 times if I wanted a combo and I had NO idea what she was asking me.

    Oy, being married to my husband is like a reality series of "Lost in Translation" sometimes!

    He's been in Canada for decades, but it's amazing how often things still come up - words he misuses, phrases misinterpreted, etc. - NO, of course I don't make fun of him, but we laugh together!

    But you know, I give myself a reality check - I speak, write and read ONE language! (yeah I don't know much Ukrainian).
    My husband has a half-dozen languages running around in his head!

    These are real items sold in stores...

    Name: soup.jpg Views: 170 Size: 74.5 KB
    This is a spicy soup made with roosters

    Name: Horlicks-UK.jpg Views: 248 Size: 56.0 KB
    This is a malted barley hot beverage
    (It used to be advertized as the perfect bedtime drink but they changed that)

    These are both sold in stores.

    Sorry for the crude language in the graphic!

    I can understand foreign people trying to speak English pretty well, I don't have many problems. But I can't understand most Australian people speaking English.
