Hi all, this is Tess from Burma....
I also had a very funny mistake when i was a beginner ...
In my class, when my English teacher ask me about my weekends..
I answered that i have a date with my teacher... he looked so surprise so i said female teacher ...he was laughing at me but i wasn't sure why he was laughing
but at last i knew that i should have used " have appointment " instead of "date.".

Hello,
Ha ha Gerondif, thank you for your funny story!
Here, I am just trying to imagine what's the reaction of the host after your comment "you've been a perfect GHOST"
Also, thank you for the translation of " peu importe "... I'm about to make the same mistake as one of your pupil
All the best,

well, I remember once I talked with two Australian couple, one of the men said "there's a lot of "road" here so that we get lost." I misunderstood, I thought what he said is there's a lot of "rose" 'cause it's the Women's Day at that time, actually. So funny!

This was so funny! I needed a good laugh this morning before going to work. Please keep sharing, I've learned a great deal from mistakes while studying french and in other situations. My french friends and I spend hours chatting and laughing at our errors. When you laugh with someone, it makes for a closer friendship. The friends that I am able to have fun with are the ones I adore the most!

Hello,
In a coffee shop, we (a group of friends)were talking about the movies. One of mine asked if anybody had seen the film " Up to the air "?
Then, there's an answer " Up in the air " is that what you mean? 
Have a good day,
May

The following happened a long time ago, but I still remember it: I mispronounced the word 'pheasant' (the phrase was 'roast pheasant') and the result was 'peasant'. Of course, I would never include another human being in my meals!!Re: Funny mistakes in English from car55, posted on 21-02-2010 at 22:25:58 (D | E)

I remember that in a film an airline hostess asks a passenger"Do you want a can,sir?"The passenger is very puzzled.He thinks that she asks him if he wants a cancer.This sentence sounds like"a cancer"

When I was in the high school .. my teacher asked me a question and I was so confused so I tried to listen to what my nearby classmate whispered to me ...
he whispered with a sentence that had the word "schedule" but I heard it "sexual"....so you can guess how funny a sentence could be when you make such a mistake

When I was a student of middle school,one day I helped my English teacher moving .She said ,"guys,take care of my glass vase,it is a present of my friend." A boy promised that,"Put the heart in your chest". Then the teacher and we deeply confused. A moment later,we laughed loudly,he should said that ---Don't worry!
Today,years ago,I still remember the scenario cearly.This does not give us the lessons inlearning english but also happiness in the process of learning english.

The audience was horrified and dumbfounded !
During a conference on “Kinship and Family Organization' at the Ethnological Society, when asked to demonstrate the French pronunciation of the family members, I declared that the French called:
their mother 'mare' 
their father 'pear',
their sister 'Sir'
and their brother 'Friar'
