           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. “

Malta, officially the Republic of Malta, is a Southern European island country comprising an archipelago of seven islands in the Mediterranean Sea.

It lies 80 km south of Sicily, 284 km east of Tunisia, and 333 km north of Libya. The country covers just over 316 km², making it one of the world’s smallest and most densely populated countries.

The capital of Malta is Valletta, which is also, at 0.8 km², the smallest capital in the European Union. Malta has two official languages: Maltese and English.
