The grammar in English is also relatively simple. English does not have gendered nouns, like French and Spanish for example, and has no cases or word agreement to worry about. Articles are also pretty easy to remember: a, an and the. In general, the grammar is simpler than many languages, like German or Hungarian. While mastering English can take many years, acquiring a basic level of English to use when traveling is possible for anyone.
Another great way to learn English is through apps like Rosetta Stone and FluentU. They provide learners with detailed explanations of concepts that they won't pick up through watching American shows and movies. Learning a language requires a combination of methods and sources of exposure, but having English lessons accessible on learners' cell phones is a great advantage of living in this technological age.
I think this list makes it clear that, while Google translate can be an invaluable tool for quick searches when traveling, it cannot always be trusted. English is a complex (and sometimes infuriating) language, so it's no surprise that comedic errors like these happen so frequently. And thank goodness they do because they're hilarious.
