In other news I really need a new printer as apparently we need to be printing stuff as "homework"in kindergarten. Before I get a printer I need a desk to put it on. Do you think I can find one I even remotely like. Back to google on that one.
Linking up my dilemmas with Essentially Jess for #ibot.
This reads like a Dr Seuss book! I made it to the middle and then scrolled down. What a tongue and mind twister! :)
ReplyDeleteEnglish is so hard and confusing. It's amazing that anyone can learn it at all.
ReplyDeleteBloody hell you know I skimmed down to half way through!! And I thought learning French was hard! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh there were a couple in there that got me! Ague? Foeffer?
ReplyDeleteOh this one was too much for a day where I have spent most if it sick in bed! As for the printer, I didn't relaise how awesome it was to have one till we bought a reliable one recently and it has made a world of difference! Editng never became so easy till I could print things out! Good luck hunting for a desk Josefa #teamIBOT

ReplyDeleteIt is so tricky! That is hard to read too. I always find it amazing that anyone can learn English as a second language.
ReplyDeleteIt's so long think I need to print it xx
ReplyDeleteWow that was crazy! I struggled with a few of the words because I had never heard of them before.
ReplyDeleteLove this poem! At first I thought it was easy, then it got harder and harder. It's a great reminder of how hard it must be for people to learn English as a second language!
ReplyDeleteOh Ann, that's impossible! John had to learn English when he came here at age 8, and 33 years later, still struggles with it. I say yay to teachers who have to explain all the crazy word rules. xx
ReplyDeleteHa, that's so hard, I pity all the poor people who learn English as a second language, when you think about it it is so confusing!
ReplyDeleteThat's a tough one. It hurt my head a little bit :)
