When I was younger I believed people from other countries actually speak the same language as I, but it just sounds different because they are in a different country and my ears were not used to their version of the language.

I once believed that soap and soup were the same thing, due to the pronunciation of “soup” in my native language as “soap-uh”.

Up until I was like 14 or so, I thought that everyone thought in English, even if they spoke other languages. I just couldn't wrap my mind around the idea of thinking in another language.

When I was young I used to believe that everybody on this planet was speaking the same language.
When I was five years old, I travelled in (La Réunion)(a french island) since everybody was speaking french I thought that french was the international language. Two month later I travelled to Paris and I asked someone what time was it and he didn't answer me. So I was surprised. And i thought he was being rude. After this I travelled to Portugal and before the travel my mom told me that Portuguesse people was speaking another language. I was speachless.
