... forbids use of the English text. Read the Welsh!
The coursebook for the Welsh course I started this week recommends practising on anyone who'll listen - including the cat. A better choice of victim, I think, is those people who call me from India wanting to ask me questions. They don't understand any more than George does, but there's more entertainment to be had from throwing random Welsh sentences at them.
Ha! That's fabulous. Perhaps I'll have to start babbling in Norwegian the next time I get one of those telemarketers on the phone.
ReplyDeleteIt's worth it for the complete bafflement at the other end. I don't know yet whether it discourages return calls.
DeleteThat's a good idea! Sure to get them off the phone without resorting to angry words ;)
ReplyDeleteIt was certainly quicker and less stressful than arguing with them.
