That other thread reminded of funny/annoying mistakes my kids make in English. (American Israeli second generation)
The one that bothers me most is when they say: because that...
Translated straight from: בגלל ש...
Also why can't they remember to pronounce th correctly, I know they can but it's still always ff as in birfday.
I'm sure there's more I'm blanking this second.
Share yours!

Using "or" instead of "either" at the start of a sentence:
Or we are going bowling or we are going to the skating rink.

We live in Israel. Of course dh and I pronounce it correctly, otherwise it wouldn't bother me

Where you're going?
What you're doing?
Don't know what it's translated from, but why skip the "are you"?
And I probably have many more

Hey, my kids say that! Didn't even think of it as an Israelism. But then, English and Hebrew are both not my first language.

Ordered to come to the Bar Mitzvah "הזמין"
Also save on that someone mentioned earlier.
What's crazy is that sometimes I find myself speaking like that because I'm exposed to it all the time

We're doing turn turn. Instead of We're taking turns.
Like the above, there's also "they didn't save on Shabbos".
