My fiance who is from Italy, not only speaks with an accent but he doesn't always understand clearly what people are saying to him. Partly because he can't hear well, and partly due to a translation problem.
We went to a restaurant and after looking at the menu, the waitress came over and this is how this conversation went:
Waitress: Sir would you like soup or salad?
Him: Yes
Waitress: (looks at him with a puzzled look on her face) soup or salad?
Him: Yes
Waitress: (Looks to me for help)
Me: Do you want soup OR a salad?
Him: Oh! I wanna soup!
Me: What did you think she was asking you?
Him: I thought she was asking me if I wanted a SUPER SALAD!
