I know a Goerdie who speaks two languages..Usually speaks pretty good English. Give him a few drinks or get him into a conversation with another Geordie and he starts speaking a strange alien lingo!
Im in owe of all you lot out there who can speak 2 different language's, i know im just 2 lazy to learn, im picking up certain arabic phrase's, but that about all.........but im from Newcastle, and as mentioned earlier, some say is a language all of its own!!
Many have asked me about it. Its all in the eyes and the facial expressions. If you are Indian you will understand whether it is a Yes or a no. As for the accent well English is not our mother tongue so as long as you all understand what we are trying to get across its OK. Then there are plenty of us who speak extremely well because of your educational and cosmopolitan background. As for me I just cannot understand the Scottish.
PS- Just one more thing have you got a mail or a letter from the English. Just the other day I had asked one of my English foremen to take an inventory. Two days later this is lying on my table"COMPLETE INFANTRY". I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. Man some of them their spellings are pathetic. They spell it the way they pronounce it and to think English is their language.
But you know, I noticed, they can rid of this habit quite easy when they are integrated in other nationalities' environment.
Those who deal with other nationalities a lot, they stop doing it. But those who just came from India.. omg.. I am getting dizzy in 5 minutes of conversation…
and also this constant "no?".. i had once this cleaner, he came on Friday morning and started cleaning the house. In 1 hour he say: I have to go now. I ask him: why you have to go? you didn't finish cleaning yet.. and here it is: "I AM MUSLIM, NO?".... it was actually funny, like he asks me if he is muslim or not.. i honsetly said: "I don't know.YOU tell me whether you muslim or not..."
not for the actual learning but my friend and I had bought brass rings from a shop in the lunch period and took turns rolling them down the lid of the desk until they dropped into the ink well, ah memories, the projectile board rubber soaring across the classroom and hitting my lovely new blazer leaving a big white chalky mark :)
Compared to other nationalities, we just don’t want (or can’t) speak another language. English language is I think, one of the hardest languages to learn, so I admire anyone who learns English as their second language. Whooooooo and I love their accent when they speak English!!!
What about the Glaswegian that goes into a bakers and asks the woman, "Is that a cake or a merangue?", and she replies, "Naw yer right son, it's a cake!'
DH has a mixed accent, soft southern with a bit of yorkshire thrown in, says things like "thats yourn" meaning thats yours etc, weird but I love him for it :)
What i find amazing here is i am English but hardly anybody seems to understand my English. I am from the South of England so no strong accent, fairly neutral in fact !
as I only speak English and find languages difficult so nothing but admiration from me for anyone learning English and having the courage to speak it :)
mmm... will add it to my 'Desperately seeking Faithful and Obedient servant' ad when I get there.. what do you reckon? any takers? lol..
P' Eyes.. not so sure about Med crooner.. bit too cynical for all that. ha... there's a reason why I'm still single I'm sure of it.. now What was that again?!
Anyways.. sweet dreams of your Latin Lover.. this fussy bugger is off to bed:))
like what..something with a Mediterranean crooner..hehe am already envisioning a hot tanned Italian trying 2 sweep me off my feet with his English skills..
I'm seriously in awe of people who take on English as their second.. sometimes third language. I have two 11 year olds in my class from Poland and they put most of the others to shame:) 'Meees? Folderr?' Adorable and incredibly cool.
Hats off:))
Future hubby has to have an accent. That's no 1 on the list...
FranElizabeth trust me i feel you really..few days ago we had dis patient who i assume was Scottish guy..damn i was trying 2 squeeze my brain into understanding what he saying to me..his accent was soo heavy..it felt like he was speaking with a mouth full of spit...god but he was a cooperative patient.. :)
Pretty Eyes..some Enlish people's accents are pretty bizarre too... lol. Ex boyfriend was from Newcastle.. I swear he was speaking in a foreign language half the time.. especially whilst watching football:))
Actually its not just Indians all nationalities have their own peculiar way of speaking English. You talk to aperson on phone and know his nationality by the way he speaks English.

i mean west london we dont say fink .......we say innit ........... please dont tar us with those east enders.......
No no no no! London accent? No thanks. S Walian, Geordie or Northern all the way. .. London? Don't fink so:)
the problem that it's neither Yes nor No.. it is just the cannot even start speaking without moving their heads...
even if they have to pronounce only one word, they start moving the head first, prior to saying anything..:)
BUT the best accent is a london accent .....sorry mr P and freon.......
or scottish - edinburgh (oh la la that sends shivers down my spine).....
I love the Indian head bob. Is it yes? Is it no? Who knows! :D
And English people can't speak English, my friend said he almost hit his swede yesterday and I started looking around for a blonde person.

We had to recite it....Started with Me, you , he, she and ive forgotten the rest...French is a dead language anyway !

so true. I wish now I had learnt French at school, I think the language is so romantic, especially when the French speak English :)
did french at school but was 15, c,mon, the lads were more interesting than female/male verbs etc ;)
you've lost me :) But there again, it's not difficult :)
Take French, yer have different words for male female, but also they male, and they female.
I think thats right. Does anyone get what i mean ?
