We currently we have some language tutors that help us out in our language learning. They don't speak much English, so it makes communication all the more "interesting"-to say the least.
Below are some of the more recent Language Blunders that we have been found guilty of.
What was said:
Language Tutor: What did you have for breakfast
Steph: Nothing special, just yogurt and flowers.
What was meant to be said:
I had some yogurt and fruit
What was said:
Language Tutor: Look, your baby is awake.
Steph: Yes, my daughter is awake and very cup.
What was meant to be said:
Yes, my daughter is awake, she is very cute.
The situation:
The Language Tutor used a word Steph was not familiar with and explaining it in Urdu was not helping the clarification process, (it was only making her more confused) so Steph says, "Just wait a minute, I will ask my city, my city knows that answer."
What was meant to be said:
Please wait a minute, my husband knows this word, I will ask him.
Needless to say, Stephs' tutor has been having quite a good time with her language learning. The tutor tries to be nice, but there have been times, when the language tutor thinks that the blunders are so funny that she is on the floor laughing. Which, in turn, makes Steph laugh as well :)
On another note, Our Baby Girl finally has her government papers & passport! It took a while to collect all the necessarily forms, get them filled out and brought to the correct offices, but after two and a half months, she is finally documented! :)
Below are some passport photo blunders, (because getting a passport photo of a newborn is no easy task) and we thought you would get amusement out of some of the passport photo rejects ;)
The requirements for a newborn passport photo state that the subject has to be looking straight ahead, mouth closed and eyes open. We didn't have a problem with the last requirement, but it was about 50 different photos later that we finally got her to look straight ahead, with her mouth closed.
