41 Polyglot Memes for Language Learners With Their Tongue in a Twist

Whether you're learning your second, third, or fourth language, there's always something special about picking up a few words that are unfamiliar. However, your misplaced confidence will quickly deflate when you have your tongue in a twist and your foot in your mouth after accidentally insulting some poor restaurant employee's grandma. Learning another language can be a teensy bit tricky. 

However, never fear, for you are not the first to get tripped up in another language. In fact, most native English speakers still struggle with their mother tongue, so simply hang in there, keep trying, and do your best not to insult any wayward old ladies when you're out being a tourist. Any respectful native will congratulate you for the effort and switch to English immediately to aid your conversation– good luck out there and stay safe from that terrifying Duolingo owl.
