My first experience like this was in high school in America. Had a French foreign exchange student. He learned British English.
An early exam, he leaned over to a girl next to him and asked, “Do you have a rubber I can borrow?”
She was stunned, and asked, “Right here, right now?”
“Yes, I desperately need to use a rubber, right here, right now.”
“What? As she turned beet red, he began to realize a communication problem.
“I made a mistake, I need to use a rubber to rub out my pencil writing.”
“Oh, we call them erasers. Sure, here is my eraser.”
After class they chatted and had a good laugh.
(He now lives in Switzerland and is in the export/import business. I keep in touch with him on FB.)

Did have a woman from South Vietnam as an exchange student. While she was in America, Saigon fell. Her dad was a Colonel in the South Vietnamese army. Regrettable she had no family to go back to. They all were killed. She stayed and became a family practice doctor in America. When their kids were old enough, they went back for a visit. Able to find a few distant cousins. Everyone else had not survived.
