Is it correct or wrong ? What do you call it in English ? How do you say it in English ? One of my English teacher said it is NOT correct if you say " what do you say it in English ?or how do you call it in English ?" and he said some Americans do say like this but it is wrong actually . Is this true ? Thank you

If you're talking about a phrase, or sentence, or a word, then the most natural is: "How do you say it in English?" Or "How would you say that in English?" If you're talking about a thing (like an apple, for example), you could say, "what do you call it in English?" I would agree with your teacher that you shouldn't say either "How do you call it in English" or "what do you say it in English".
