Most wrong thing you were taught
What was the most wrong thing you've ever been taught in a language class?
My boyfriend was taught in English classes at high school in Spain that you should directly address women as "lady" to be polite. As in "How much is this, lady?" giving a strange 1930s Chicago low-life flavour to your English. He didn't rate his school much.
At school myself in the UK in the 90s, my french textbook (Encore Tricolore, groan) tried to convince us french kids went round saying "c'est hypercool" all the time. Nobody was buying it.
