English is a Confusing Language

When I arrived in England, I could not speak a word of English, so I decided to take some lessons. My teacher told me, "It is necessary to study English very well as English is a confusing language." At first I didn't understand him. But some time later I understood what he meant.
I remembered an evening I had spent in a bar in my hotel, decided to speak English to the barman. I ordered, "A bear, please." The barman could not believe his ears. He thought for a moment and then said, "Listen to me, young man, you are in a bar, not in a Zoo." I didn't understand him but I saw he wasn't pleased. A friendly Englishman saved me and or-dered a beer for me. He invited me to his table. He was very patriotic and talked about the Queen. I didn't understand half of what he had said, but I decided to please him. "God shave the Queen," I said. He stood up, looked at me and walked way without saying a word. When I think of that day now I sее how right my teacher of English was.
