We have all sinned and unexpected adventures during our holidays in other countries. Sometimes this can be very funny. We have a collection of those funny stories on our website, from all over the world.
Here are some real examples of gaffes and misunderstandings that are able to do the cultural differences:
or "Constipado" in Spanish means "cold" - anything that seems to have in English!
o If you are a woman then do not say "estoyembarazada "thinking which means that you are an embarrassment. On the contrary, really means" I'm pregnant!
or if you are innocent of a German, "Are you hot ask?" (literally: you're hot?) commenting on the weather, he / she can get completely the wrong idea!
O for all Americans to visit in England, recalls that "pants" in British English underpants, not trousers!
Or Do you like Chinese food? If so, be careful what you ask in a restaurant, because the word sugar and soupapparently sounds very similar!
or go to some confusion about this, language. In Japan, it is polite to slurp when eating noodles according to your host that will appreciate seeing. Try this strategy, in England or the United States and there is no going back, welcome!
o In many parts of England "with your tea" can often mean "Eat your dinner," as the only drink a cup of tea.
Or in Spain and called for "Salmon a la plancha" means "grilled salmon," not as aMenu translated "ironed Salmon" (because the word "plancha" in Spanish is also called an iron for pressing clothes!).
The above examples provide only a small subset of the many possibilities of cultural and linguistic pitfalls that exist all over the world. Only the learning of other languages and cultures, we hope to bridge the gap and make the world a better place.
If you share any funny stories related to language or event, then do not hesitate to contact us. YouWork in a book that is published by the end of the year.
