I taught middle-school level English in France last year. I taught them the word "fart" (highly recommended) and one of them stands up and says, "MADAM HE IS FART!" Also had to convince them that you can't say someone is "a black" in English. The Power of Heart posted:She gasped and looked at me and said "THAT'S why whenever I took you to the wharf to look at the seals people would stare at us! To them it looked like I was letting my three year old daughter run around saying "gently caress! gently caress! gently caress!"" This one and "la douche". It literally took me to be completely fluent before I didn't think this was funny anymore.

I think Mitt Romney's French can prove that is not the case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyP2M0DTch8 I do know that when I was abroad with Rotary Youth Exchange, they used the LDS cultural guides a lot, especially for non-Western countries, albeit introducing them with "so take this with a grain of salt..."
