A funny or embarrassing English mistake you have made - embarrassing :)

Dear Ms. Help,

It's kind of great time for us to compete each other to win a 1-Month Subscription to Speak English by Eleutian. Jejejeje.
OK..back to the 3 questions that I have to answer:
 1st : How did you find out about italki?
 

By searching websitesEnglish is a international language.by learning english we can mingle with them
Fear to startspeaking in front of english speaking persons

opss..I pressed the wrong button..sorry..
Let me continue to my last post. 
     1st : How did I find out about italki?
              - I found out about italki through the internet since about a year ago. At that time, I was looking for some sites which provide some information about learning languages. For sure, I was curious to know more about Spanish, English and Chinese, afterwards, I just typed the key word "learning languages" on google.  I found a lot sites which provide that such service. Link by Link I clicked and read the whole things on those sites. And I found a certain link which was reffered to this site, and I attempted to join as a member.  To be honest I have joined into many languages sites, but I prefer staying here. Why? Because I find a lot things that can help me to brush up my poor english.  For instances, Here in italki, you are able to learn in a group and help italki to translate the site into your own native language.

      2nd: Why you are learning English?
               - I think its a common issue. huh.  One of my dreams is to continue my studies abroad especially in US or Australia, but till now its has not been granted yet. its all about my english skill. That's why I keep striving to learning English.  One of the prerequisites is have a good English.
               - I have been trying to join in many chat rooms, and have a word with the visitors there..but in general, they usually use inappropriate words which are not good to be uttered and used, especially in formal situation.
               - English is an international language. So that would be easy for use to keep in touch with all people around world and share myriad of information about knowledges, cultures and many more. 
       

 3rd: A funny or embarrassing English mistake you have made .
              - Hahaha for this question, it reminds me to my prior embarrassing moment.  It happened when I was having a voice chat with a lady from Florida. in this case, we'd been becoming a good friend for 5 months. She's such a good lady with multi talented abilities. She's able to speak in 5 languages. For sure, she was my english teacher in that room. till one day, I gave her a wrong information about someone who passed away a day before I'd this embarrasing moment. and this is what I wrote to her :  Me : Hi Lady T(initial for her), how're you doing? I heard from one of my friend that Mr.X just passed away.. Lady T: Hi, I am fine. Thank you. Who is Mr.X?  Me: He worked for the whore men in ...(a place I forget the name)  Lady T: the whore men? Who is this person, I have no idea.. Me: opss..Sorry its typo..it should be whole..

that's one of the embarrasing moments that I have. Till now I keep doing something throughly..because that could cause a miss comunication among 2 or more people.  
*for use -> for us

I found out about Italki , When i looking for a site to learn English
Learn English to get a proper job and new friends around the world
Suffered an embarrassing position when I was in an interview with the HRM specialist for a company and failed to overcome

Hi everybody.

Just as most of people here, I was looking for a website where to meet people all over the world to chat with and I accidentally found Italki.

I'm learning english because is the universal language, I mean, it is spoken in almost in every country no matter which is the native language there.

A few years ago I was trying to tell someone tha I was playing with the kids and what I said was  "I'm TOYING with the kids". Two minutes later I realized that I invented a verb ;-) .
