Sausage dog
When I first went to Moscow I did my best to learn some words. I learnt 'sobaka', dog, and 'kolbasa', a meat sausage for slicing. On my first independent trip to the shop I asked for 'solbaka' and everyone in the queue and the assistant just stared at me. Eventually, by pointing I got what I wanted. My Russian family couldn't stop laughing. A little knowledge is dangerous as is mixing sounds.
