Are these sentences correct?
Haven’t you ever got into trouble when you talk with foreign people about local city names in a trip abroad? For instance, a small misunderstanding could occur when you say ‘Naples’ instead of ‘Napoli’ in Italy.

Along with correction, could you please advise me to express it in more natural and simple English?
Thank you in advance.

Answer

I would write the sentence like this:

Answer

I would start the beginning with, "Have you ever..."

As a whole I think it looks good.
