I think my favorite experience with an American was when I said “I’m from Finland” and she said “Oh so do you speak Scandinavian?” and I swear to god nothing will ever surpass that moment

Actually I fucking lied I’m pretty sure to peak was when my mother was telling a cashier in a target that we couldn’t wait two weeks because we were on vacation and we lived in The Netherlands and she said “The Netherlands? you mean that peter pan place?” 

thank you @worldofwhales for this lovely addition 

OH MIO DIO

i went to summer school in england when i was like 14 and there were some american people and when i said i was italian they started speaking spanish, and when i was like “hey i don’t know spanish can u pls speak english” they were like “but…. you’re from italy… do you not speak spanish in europe?” “No, we speak italian in italy” “oh, that’s a language?”

one time I frustrated this girl so much at one point by not speaking English around her to avoid conversations with her because she was a terrible person and she said “GO BACK TO FRANCE” after snapping one day, entirely convinced Italy was in France

Asdfaddahsd this reminds me of a girl in my geography class when i was in the USA who believed Paris was the capital city of Italy. She also couldn’t be convinced that Poland is a real country because she said it was made up for a movie.

I’m ashamed of my people.. 🙄

My boyfriend told me a story about when he went to Norway and while he was queing for something this American came in and started snapping his fingers yelling “GARCON! GARCON!” (Yes garcon not garçon like he wasn’t even saying it right AND was in the wrong country AND was being incredibly rude)

I’m from New Zealand. I’ve had Americans say to me:

• “Where in Canada is that?”
• “You speak such good English!”
• *blank look*
• “Is that the place where weed is legal?” (mixing up with the Netherlands I assume)

And my favourite:

• “Is that up near Boston?”
