Probably because the target audience are Americans. If not annoying, it's at least confusing.

Why does this bloody Pimsleur ask me to say bathroom when it actually wants me
to say "les toilettes" and not "salle de bains"? I'm slowly getting annoyed.

I've no problems with exercices like "ask for the bathroom", but when it's "say: bathroom", I don't know what the hell the author was thinking. "restroom" would work perfectly well for AE here.

For someone I've always assumed to be exclusively scandivore, you've been having quite some diverse language interests, daegga! Good luck with all your projects.
