Embarrassing Experience Do you have any embarrassing experience when you are learning languages? I have a lot of that. These are two examples. That first one was what I said "subscription" instead of "subtitle". As I saw Youtube video in English, I could see "English sub" of the title, somehow I decided to use "subscription". After that I used "subscription" much. But one of my language partner pointed out the mistake. The second one was "ByeBye". Japanese use often "ByeBye" in a casual way. I sometimes used "ByeBye" in front of native English speakers. I saw Youtube video, and they said that "ByeBye" is too childish. I didn't know that. I really thanked for my language partner and Youtube video. Thank you for reading.

Thank you for you comment^^ "そば" and " そぼ" is certainly similar! "まごになっちゃって”?(・・?　I'm confused as well. （笑

I've done a lot of embarrassing things lol. I used to think そば and そぼ were the same thing. ^^;; so instead of talking about my grandma, I talked about my noodles! I learned soon after that I made a mistake, hahaha Also, my friend told me about one time when she was lost in Japan. She went up to people saying something like, "まごになちゃって" and they were confused LOL
