It’s English but not as we know it.

An interesting week.  We had a staff training day at work with part of the day focussing on International Students and we had very useful feedback from several students.  One point was how spoken native Engligh varies from taught English as learnt by many international students.  I guess this is also applicable to other languages.

At one stage we were given ten phrases written as spoken by native English speakers.  I’ve listed a few below:

1) She arse meter ge tin touch.

2) It’s a nudist play ov our resources.

3) Dew were card?

4) I know how wheezy i tis to loo sit.

5) Cuj jew say yit again?

And I bet we all do it, even if we think we don’t.

Answers next time.
