Have you ever had those moments where you mispronounced, misused, or/and just said something silly while trying to speak Japanese? (Or Japanese ppl doing the same thing while trying to speak English)

I know I had, and i see some ppl do it everyday. Come and post your moments on here.

here's my example:
my friend was drawing a couple of comics with the characters speaking in Japanese.

first comic:

A-chan: Ohayou B-kun (Morning B-kun)
B-kun: A-chan daisuke desu. A-chan kawaii desu. A-chan Ashiteru! (I like you very much. Your cute. I LOVE U!)
A-chan: Baka no. Urusai kudasaid (idiot. Your loud please.)

(LoL, if u didn't get, the last part was the moment)


My teacher also had a moment:

He was playing kick ball with his friend (this was when he was younger) and a few Japanese kids came to play too. So they all had a good time playing. When the mom came to pick the kids up my teacher tried to say her kids were so cute, but instead he said: Kawaii so desu ne.

This means "I feel sorry for your kids."

Mine came when I was working over at Toys 'R' Us. A Japanese lady was loading some heavy stuff into her trunk and I offered to help. When she said "Atashi" Guess what my first instinct was?I'll give you a hint:

"I. Help. You."

I still slap my forehead every time I look back at that moment

Well, mine wasn't so bad~
I was with my host sister,Tomoko, at this farewell dinner for the japanese students~
And I asked her who the tallest boy was cuz I fancied him xd
And I asked her "一番高い男の子はだれですか?” But ’Takai' can also mean, Expensive ^///^ 
I should have added 'せが(高い)’ (Tall height)
But she understood me anyway :3
