In 2016, I spent one year living in the United States to go to high school and learn proper English there. I had had about 4 years of English lessons in school at that point but I was pretty bad at it and we learned British English in school and I had always preferred American English - Sorry to all the people from the UK reading this, I was a fool back then.

So one day I was in history class, when I realized that I had forgotten my eraser at home. So I turned to my neighbor and asked him... for a rubber. My teacher spit out her drink when she heard what I had said and cleared up the misunderstanding for me.

But ever since that day, I couldn't trust my English teachers back in Germany anymore.
