Hector (Puerto Rico)
I was taught literal English in my native Puerto Rico which became useless when I moved to NY. I wanted to order a soda pop but we were taught "refresco" which literally means refreshment. The guy didn't know what the heck I was talking about. A good English teacher must be knowledgeable of the culture of the language he/she is teaching.
