The Nature of Language...

I had my first English Language lecture today. I totally enjoyed myself. It's looks to be interesting and cool! She's Portugese and speaks well, but she also looks like she could hex you if you aren't careful. She looks sagely and slightly witchy (in a good way of course)

Anyway, let me share the following conversation which I heard this morning while waiting for the bus, here goes...

Indian woman: Morning!

Chinese woman: Hello...

IW: Today rain very big hor?

CW: Yah, so heavy.

IW: Just now the 811 got go already?

CW: Just now got one go already.

IW: Then got anymore? Got two is it?

CW: No lah, the no more the no more, then the two the two lah!

IW: Huh?! *pauses* Orrh!!! Okay! *smiles*

Funny right? The scary thing is that though I should not have understood a single word, I actually did! Not very encouraging...
