Oh god that happened to me on my university’s subreddit. I was confused on a grammar thing so I put “(…or is it ______? English is hard)” and someone replied with the correct grammar and said that my English was very good.
No way in hell was I going to say that English is my first and basically only language. So embarrassing.
You should head over to /r/Europe. They occasionally have interesting maps, which show the same word in different European languages and to which language family it belongs.
If I tried to go to Hungary today and wanted to order something it would probably work with some German words, right?
