pidgin English: why? The Cove
start with this video because I was greatly ashamed the president of a country (ours in particular) do not have a basic knowledge of universal language today. What we must demand a leader of a country, if we can not ask for this. Anyway.
few days ago I had the pleasure of meeting Fernando Galván this article in the newspaper, "Why the English is given poor English."
enjoyed reading because it explains very well the reasons that English we have been able to travel abroad, we always have that uneasy feeling that indeed, English is not ours.
To summarize briefly the article, Galván explains that this feeling is indeed true, and not due to any congenital thing (c'mon, we do not have the recessive gene for English, or are more cortitos). Indicates three main reasons:
The first are of language: English does not belong to the same family as English (Germanic languages), and it is obvious that anyone would find it easier to learn (or even understand, no more) Italian , for example. Something else
tricky part is the problem that our system five vowels, when other languages \u200b\u200b handle ten, eleven vowel sounds ... or more. We are a little more simple than that, admittedly.
And now comes the last, my favorite: our socio-cultural environment does not help matters. In this article I discovered that Franco was forcing all series and films to be screened in our country to be dubbed into Castilian (you know that poor Don Paco was not a foreign language doctor or damn pleases I had to be).
Yes, folks, it is. I will not listen to anyone now typical of "say the English dubbing is the best in the world" because I'm laughing. Could discuss it now, but I feel better for another post .
Children; see everything in original. Will learn languages, and give for sack the leader in his grave.
