My dad once told a story of someone who was a master linguist and he was learning the language of this one Native American tribe, thinking all if his past experience and skills would be to his advantage. But the first phrase he spoke after learning it was pronounced in a way the instructor said would be an insult to someone’s mother.

But the way he said it, no one would argue with him.

Reminds me of the comedies where a person is trying to speak a foreign language and at the bottom of the screen they have what he is actually saying.

I have noticed that just about every foreign language I learned started with the “naughty” words and “thank you”. Odd, that.
