I went to an English church service this morning given by a very nice Bangladeshi Minister, but I got a real laugh from one of the lines in the text of his written sermon (which they translate into Korean for Koreans attending the service).
He was talking about the Bible story of the five loaves of bread and the two fish that fed 5,000 people.
His line was: "That day more than five thousand people were eaten."
Cannibals everywhere! Run for your lives! Ha ha ha
So what do we call that, Banglish?
That might be a funny story for an English conversation class on Monday about why it's important to use Native Speakers. |
