Anyone interested teaching basic english in Ajman?? May 30, 2006
Well would be great if it is someone from UK or US to teach english. My Aunt resides in Ajman and she needs to practice her english which is very basic. Anyone wanna help? Let me know the cost, may be twice a week ?? Thanks

okai I add again : anyone who knows english and got no strong mother tongue accent are welcome too :-)) Women preferred !!

Sounds to me like you may be able to help your aunt. Just call her (if you don't live there) everyday and practice.

Correction Please;the U.S they speak American slang and they spell words and pronounce words differently to "English" speaking people . So if you want to learn English speaking get an "English" person to teach


E.g. "american" greeting "howdy u all"

Translates into "English" as "Hello and good morning" :)

And they don't speak any kind of slang in the UK? Grow a brain.

Only snobs think that UK English is superior to North American English, or any other variant of English spoken in other parts of the world. :roll:

Just read the first sentence of Nostradamus' post above and deduce from his punctuation and grammar which you should choose. End of sentence!

P.S. The contents of his post reflect the "edited" version. Foggeabouit!

Thank you very much for the correction “howdy y'all" I looked it up but could not find it in the "Oxford" dictionary :)
