My story – Strange English
Strange English
I lived and worked in Malta for 2 years.I worked as a private nurse.When I arrived on the Island,I did not speak much English.I understood some words but not enough for conversation.The first six months were difficult for me to understand and speak. My client`s name was Helena. She had a special health issue. That`s why she needed help 24/7. I am goimg to tell you three strange English lessons when I was living with Helena.
First one
Helena had a few friends over at her apartment .I was cooking and later cleaning the kitchen.I needed to throw away the rubbish. I said, ” I am going out to throw away the rabbit!” One of her friends said,” Helena,you did not tell us you have a rabbit. I am so excited! Please show us.Where is your rabbit? Helena said, ” Oh no, Kenneth,I do not have a rabbit. She `s just confused about some words. “
Second one
It had been so cold in the apartment because it was November.I said, ” Helena, I want to turn on the theater.It`s cold.” She said,” The word is not theater. What you want to turn is the heater. “
Third one
I said, ” Helena I left your vomit on the chair. When you go out, just pick it up. ” The next minute, her husband asked, ” Helena, are you sick ? Why did not you tell me? Do you have a stomachache ? I will call the doctor right away ! ” Helena was laughing. She said, ” Do not worry, Marcell.I am all right. I am fine. She wanted to tell me that my wallet is on the chair. “
When I left Malta, I could speak English a little better, but was still not fluent. English is entirely different from my native language,Hungarian. I am still studying English and having so much fun learning this srtange language. The other day, I said to my teacher,
” My English is proofing. ” She said, ” No, your English is not proofing; it is improving. “
