Italian exam tomorrow! Can't wait for the oral part, where I will have to look at a picture then talk about it for 10 minutes, something I cannot even do in English. Current strategy is listening to dialogues of people passionately talking about bread and then I'll just shoehorn bread into my speech (this photo depicts a car accident and although you cannot see it, there is likely some bread in the back seat, speaking of bread....)

“But Patwa is not “broken English”. While English was the lexifier (base language), Patwa finds much of its structure and vocabulary in the west and central African languages of the people who formed the majority Black population of the island... Jamaican Creole has consistent grammatical rules as well as generations of native speakers that qualify it as a language.
Gullah Creole is similar to Jamaican Patwa.”

Я иногда из интереса ищу информацию про нивхский язык. У него невероятно сложное произношение, которое, думаю, даже посложнее вьетнамского. Очень много разных согласных, которые вдобавок часто следуют друг за другом. Вот как вам, например, четыре буквы Г: Г, Ӷ, Ғ и Ӻ? А четыре К: К, К’, Ӄ и Ӄ’?

While wandering through the 1960s, I discovered this series - Walter and Connie: English by Television. For English learners, the series ran from 1963 to 1967. Walter and Connie - Brian McDermott and Anne Lawson - were HUGE. They went on European tours to promote the series and were mobbed like the Beatles. Does anyone here remember Walter and Connie?

Choose the right option:
(A) Sumoni ringna li fight!
(B) Undertaile?
(C) Me vanten to goe to skool.
(D) Vater plees.
... wow you're so smart! you sure are an expert in North Whatevrish! It's surely not because you recognised obvious cognates, sentence length or could eliminate all but one immediately!
