No, i have not had an experience like this one, but my brother had a long time ago when he went to the USA for the first time.. he ended up in the wrong place because he did not understand the directions...
And once, a friend in the class pronunce bad a word and it was a kind of a swearword, the teacher corrected him without problem.. but it is important to learn and practice with the similar sounds of the words in English.

OH! That must have been a surprise Lierni. Düsseldorf has two airports? I didn't know that. Is it a very big city? I have never been there, but I thought it was small..
See you again soon,

I find Kumiko Tsuchida's story hard to believe, but it seems it really happened since it was apparently reported in The Times in June 1997.

In fact, I also had a misunderstanding in one of my many travelling experiences. Once I took a flight to Dusseldorf airport where I had to take a train to travel further. What I did not notice was that in Dusseldorf there were 2 different aireports and I landed in the wrong one!
