English is a difficult language for some!

Based on a real event.

Prime Minister Mori (Japanese) was given some basic English conversation training
before he visited Washington to meet President Barack Obama.

The intructor told Prime Minister Mori:

instructor: When you shake hands with President Obama, please ask ''How are you?''
Instructor: Then, Mr. Obama should say ''I am fine, and you?''.
Instructor: You will then reply ''Me too'', then we the translators will do the rest of the work for you!

It looked quite simple, but the truth is when Mori met Obama, he mistakenly said ''Who are you?'' instead
of ''How are you?''.
Mr. Obama was a bit shocked, but still managed to react with humor:

Obama: Well, I'm Michelle's husband, haha!

Then Mori replied:

Mori: Me too, haha!

There was a long silence in the meeting room after that.
