Miscommunications caused by mispronunciation:
The "l" and "r" are interchangeable in the Korean language. In fact, many don't hear the difference. Here's an example of one of those instances.
In one of my English classes, I asked my student Brian to tell me what a certain picture was.
Brian: "Ryan"
Me: "No, not Ryan (another student in the class), Brian"
Brian: "Ryan"
Me: "No, I don't want Ryan to tell me, I want you to tell me"
Brian: Points at picture, "Ryan"
Me: Look at picture and realize that he was trying to say "lion"
That is hilarious! Thanks for sharing! :) -Sarah
