What did the coast guard get wrong? And why?<br />
Was hat der Fluglotse missverstanden? Und weshalb?<br />
The coast guard understood the emergency call “Mayday, we are sinking.” as “Mayday, we are thinking.”<br />
Sinking refers to something that goes down, so the plane is about to crash. Thinking is something that takes<br />
place in your brain. The misunderstanding is caused because many learners of English have difficulties to<br />
differentiate between the sound “th” and the sound “s”.
