Lost in Translation

One of the most enjoyable parts of cross-cultural ministry is the many people who are trying to speak a language other than their own and messing up along the way. It's not just the Czechs speaking English...it's also the Americans speaking Czech (namely me). So, here are some funny mistakes that have been made the past few days.

What was meant: "I am so excited!" -me
What was said: "I am so painted!"

What was meant: "You are welcome, my son." -Máma Novákova
What was said: "Please, my son."

What was meant: "This is a TV series." -Honza
What was said: "This is TV cereal."

And the best one yet-
What was meant: "We will play 4 games before dinner."
What was said: "We will have foreplay before dinner."

There will be many more to come.... :)
