i once tried to learn Afrikaans for a boy. a South African friend taught me how to say "you have big muscles in all the right places" in Afrikaans. i tried to forward the message to the boy, but chickened out last minute. instead, i said things like where is the ladies room?, spoon, and cup and saucer. he responded by telling me my accent was terrible. "it sounds like you just said cup and mountain."
heart-break ensued.
