A tourist asks a guide, "have you ever been to Koh Samoy?"
The guide, without thinking, says, "who's?"
(samoy= the way that the thai word for 'pubic hair' is spelled)
Another Italian one, maybe it's already been done, but it's classic anyway.
A woman gets on a bus and sits down. Immediately, she hears what sounds like two Italian men talking about their sexual exploits: "First, Emma come. Then I come. Then two Esse, they come. Then I come again. Then the Two Esses, they come again. I come a third time, then Pee Twice, then I come one last time."
Offended, the woman turns around and tells the two men to scold them for their "gutter talk". The men, confused, explain that they are only trying to spell "Mississippi" correctly.

The only language "joke" I've ever heard is, in my opinion, incredibly lame...
What are the Chinese words for going to the beach?
Wai So Tan?

One of the stupidest habits that many Latvian land owners still have is to burn last year's grass in the spring. For the term "lats year's grass" there is a word in Latvian language - 'kūla' which sounds pretty much the same as the English word 'cool'. This joke is always told in two languages but I'll write it in English.
A foreigner has come to the Latvian countryside and sees a Latvian guy who has set fire on the large field of last year's grass. So he asks the man to explain the situation.
-Foreigner: What the hell is this?
-Latvian: That's cool!

A very old Dutch/English one:
Englishman: Spring is in the air!
Dutchman: Why should I?
(In Dutch "Spring eens", pronounced "Spring is", means "(Please) jump".

Ok, this is one of those long rambling storytelling jokes, but I'll just give an abridged version. it should ideally be in French except for the punchline, but that would expose my inadequecies.
So, this french man is looking for an English language course, but want's the cheapest one he can get. So he's looking at all these alternatives, and eventually he finds the cheapest course he's ever seen in the small ads for only €10. So he goes along to the address and it doesn't look very promising but he knocks on the door, and some dodgy looking character opens it. So he says dubiously "This isn't where I can get the cheapest English course in France, is it?". And the other guy gestures him in welcomingly and says "if if, between".
