happythoughts 0 #28 October 7, 2006 QuoteYes. They may have West Indian parents but they were born here. Colin Powells parents were from Jamaica and he grew up in the South Bronx. You could be teaching the next secretary of state. When I took Calc in college, my teacher was from New Jersey. Dr. Goldberg. I was never offended by his criticism of my Southern accent. Nobody in the class understood his. "Youse Southern boise can'd speak propuh Englich." I work for a New York bank now. Teleconferences are punishing. I am the English-to-English translator. The guy in Hong Kong is clearer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jumpervint 0 #32 October 8, 2006 I have Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, various African, Mexican, and Russian in my class. I often do English to English translation for the students and for other teachers and administrators in the building. It's quite amusing, actually. I understnad them - but I wonder if they understand themselves sometimes. (The students, of course - I let the teachers and administrators duke it out among themselves.) Vint. . . . .
