As mentioned before, language barriers occur even when speaking the same language. Some of the most confusing is words that we use in English that mean something completely different here. For example, what Americans call Jell-O, South Africans call jelly. Jelly in the states is only referred to as jam here. Biscuits are scones and cookies are biscuits! Also, they eat biscuits (scones) with cheese and jelly (jam) together. Confusing, but yummy! Here are some pictures of common South African brands with the words they use.
