Knowing Another Language

Published by Sula H.

Found a cute little story on the internet the other day, and since I’m a language teacher, I just have to share it with you here: Two mice sat in their hole watching Cat lurk outside. “I know how to make Cat go away,” said the first mouse. “How?” the second mouse asked in surprise. “Watch! Bow, wow!!!” barked the first mouse. Peering through their hole in the wall, they saw Cat running away in fear. “Ah, see the benefit of knowing another language!” Found at http://www.eleaston.com/

Fun with Chinglish: Keep off the water!

Published by Sula H.

  Sign reads: “Keep off the water, caution danger.” If you consider getting wet as some kind of danger, then it surely is advisable that you keep your hands “off” the water. Or am I overlooking something that can be found somewhere in the less-than-knee-deep water which might cause harm …?

Fun with Chinglish: See your this one step (Winnie the Pooh)

Published by Sula H.

A tiny notepad having this little message of Winnie’s musings: “See your thisonestep howwalk.” My guess is that they actually meant to say something like: “Look at this! Which step should you take next?” Haw Haw! Note: When posting anything in the Fun with Chinglish section, I don’t mean to show disrespect towards anything or anyone in any way.
