Dear Randolph,
hi... I wanted to let you know that I did appreciate
your compliments front-channel, the other day, about
both the way I use English colloqually and the way I
use it towrite poetry . Again, it was very kind of
you to say that.
I also wanted to compliment you for the
Dream Project.
Bravissimo,
(sorry for the last few posts full of swear words...I
am experimenting this other aspect of English,
now)...I meant no offence to nobody: I was just
imagining what my English would have been, had I met a
speaker of that kind, and fell in love with him....
I am writing this novel 'The scandal of translation',
based on colloqualisms (I am therefore paying great
attention in the street to what is said, basically.
I always wanted to learn UK 'idiots' - sorry sorry 'I
meant 'idioms' - but have never really got round it.
It seems now that I am going through my project all
right.....(I am waiting for Harry tocome and pick me
up)....
(Here he comes. He is shouting something: What?
- Let yourself down...
Eh?
- Don't worry I'll get you through when the ropes
come...
What do you want me to do, I haven't got a clue..?
- Are you still fussing around that computer ?!
Harry up!
(Oh, hush up...The wolf has been howling away on the
edge of the door for hours now...)
