Language Mistakes

CNN posted online an article with findings from a new survey from 300 British travelers revealing common and funny mistakes travelers make abroad. The survey was conducted by Owners Direct, a company that advertises vacation properties. The article talked about a traveler in Greece calling an elderly woman a squid mixing up ‘good morning which is ‘kalimera’ with ‘calamari’. Or someone else who asked for her ‘head baked al forno’. ‘Al forno’ means food from the oven. All she wanted was a hair dryer. Many travelers interviewed admitted to having said they wished’ good morning’ instead of ‘good night.’ This survey found that 95% of respondents try to talk to locals in their native language. CNN says the most commonly used vocabulary was ‘hello’, ‘please’, ‘thank you’, ‘goodnight’, ‘where are the toilets?’ and ‘ a bottle of house red, please.’
