Learning English in India?
Have any of you taken private english classes in India? Any of you, with some sort of teaching experience and university qualification, willing to provide one?
Scouting around for my girlfriend who speaks good french/german/dutch and very sweet but grammatically incorrect english. Unfortunately, given my severe learning disabilities in foreign languages (english is part of life), I cannot endeavor to pick up french or german. I just need to ensure that when she is angry with me, she can make herself clear in quick short sentences (not sure that will ever happen, but still worth a try !!). |

Yevriday
Just as Indojingai wrote yevriday for everyday, I wrote yinglish for English. Very heavy South Indian accent.
Yankee is also correct, but not what i meant. |
