International Talk Like a Pirate Day
Yar! Today be International Talk Like a Pirate Day in China. I realize it not be so in the United States, yet, but it nearly be. I decided t' teach me students how t' speak like pirates. 'Twas quite amusing, 'twas. They looked at me as though I be three sheets t' the wind! Nay, I had naught t' drink.
I wanted t' teach them a bit about the culture o' English-speakers, so me lesson included me impersonatin' Aussies, Brits, Canadians, the Irish, Valley Girls, and ye old pirates! 'Twas an interestin' lesson, to be certain. O' course, me internet was down whilst I was preparin' me lesson--I could not take the pictures I wanted t', as I couldn't print them. Yar.
Here be one of the segments o' me lesson. It were longer, but I cut it down fer time's sake.

Do you know what makes me sad? I can't figure out how to add your blog to show that I "follow" your blog. For some reason it doesn't recognize the url as a real blog so it won't show it! grrr technology! It has bested me again! X.X
