I seem to recall one or two movies where someone is teaching ridiculous and/or sexual phrases to foreign language speakers (Bill Murray? Robin Williams). Anyone know these?

I know I've seen that in a number of films, but that part of my memory just has rocks in it.

Robin Williams in Good Morning, Vietnam? Thanks, but one I'm trying to think of has people just repeating phrases without any knowledge of their meaning. |

Harold Ramis does something like that at the beginning of STRIPES.

Harold Ramis does something like that at the beginning of STRIPES. Thanks. Not quite. In the one I'm thinking of, the teacher is getting them to say raunchy stuff. |

they weren't raunchy but he got them to repeat the sentences without them knowing the meaning of what they are saying...

STRIPES (1981) review: His buddy Harold Ramis is also leading a lackluster life teaching the English language to foreigners who know only curse words.

Sounds like it.

The only one with Bill Murray and English as second language students. Not that I've gone through his and Robin William's entire filmography.

That's from the movie STRIPS, starring Jayne Mansfield and Rock Hudson. It's a classic.

In the episode "Dear Peggy" Potter wants Koreans to learn English. Frank has them say: Better dead than Red Get us out of the UN Don't contaminate our drinking water with contamination, Then Hawkeye comes in and says Mare eat Oats and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy. |
