Well now.
When studying another language, yet living where that language isn't so widely spoken, I'm sure at least some of you have made a mistake and combined grammar or vocabulary and said things that made people just.

Look at you.

So how about we post our blunders?

I was inspired to ask this after just five minutes ago, having said, "He would have stormed in, if it not were for it that god damn leg."

Generally I find myself to be good at not mixing languages, but lately I've been mixing English and French >_> Recent stupid things I've said/written include:

-Long time no parle, hey? (as opposed to "long time no speak" >o<)
-Ouais! (as opposed to "yeah" @_@)
-Give me it. mad
-Me, I like better the cats.
-I have hunger. crying
-I don't know to sing!

Since I speak both French and Japanese at the same level (you know, the awkward "I am reading a book. Are you reading a book? He is reading a book also." stage...okay, a bit higher than that, but not much. x.x wink so I mix up words all the tiiiime. It's not even funny. >.<;; I'll try to do my Japanese oral exam and say things like "Je wa Houston ni allez."

Agggggh.

Engrish is great, though, when it's in, say, music or on signs. I think there's a sign in Tokyo somewhere that says, "Cars will not have intercourse on this bridge." It means to say, "There won't be many crashes here" or something like that. XD But still. That's gewd. There's some other boring ones, like "World of Pain, just to your right!" and "For indoor and outdoor use only." but yeah. So awesome.

XD I think I saw that!
And my friend in art class, she's from Taiwan, and she's had plenty of Engrish slips. It's so. Cute X_x.

I got a few looks when I declared in art class that, "THIS IS SUCKS."

In Esperanto, I tried to tell a girl that " I am looking forward to seeing you"
but I said " I am looking forward to enjoying you."

Luckily she did not mind.

Lawlz.

I have to watch what I say around my friends in Art, or else they take it and twist it into something horribly horrible.

Sometimes it gets very annoying.

"Futari of people." (A friend of mine made that mistake while writing an exam in English SL. Too many Japanese lessons for her.)

'Penser' instead of 'croire'.
When I made that mistake, the person practically shunned me.

Anywho, I have the same problem that Periwig mentioned; sometimes, when someone's calling, I'll yell out 'Dare nous appelle ka?'

I got a message from the office calling me to the Counselor. I forget what exactly it was that I said in reaction but it was something like,
"What I don't done anything now!"
PostPosted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 2:28 am


I never really do anything like that, but often when talking to my friends, half of what I say is in english, the other in danish. Really majorly annoying.

Worse is when I do it at home. My mum get soooo pissed at me...

Situation:
My friend kicks my a**. My trousers gets a white spot on them.

Result:
"GAH I HAVE A WHITE p***k IN MY a**! gonk "

Note:
"p***k" would mean "dot" in my language.
