"I'm not going to be an Englich teacher much longer if I start talking like that."

An interesting note (I think it's interesting, anyway--does that even need to be said? Obvious I'm the one who finds it interesting if I say "An interesting note"....right? Enough redundancies.) An interesting note. On Chilean English. It's Englich. Do you speak Englich?

Shhhhhhh.

It's English.

Yes, Englich.

I'm teaching English in Shile.


It's CHile.

Yes, in SHile.

It's flaite to pronounce any word with "shh" in Chilean Spanish. Which means, it's bad. The poor people use "Shhh" in their speech. Outside of the dregs of society, DON'T SAY SH. It's CH CH CH CH CHile.

And so, it's also EngliCH CH CH CH.

Interesting? I thought so.
