Description

English as She Is Spoke is a unique phrase book that showcases the humorous side of language. Written by Pedro Carolino, who surprisingly spoke no English, this bilingual volume features a collection of expressions translated from Portuguese into French and then into English.

With the help of dictionaries, Carolino created a series of phrases that might raise an eyebrow or two, from offering grooming tips to making polite dinner conversation. The book is organized into sections of familiar phrases, dialogues, and letters, followed by a selection of humorous anecdotes.

As Mark Twain noted in his introduction, the book's "miraculous stupidities" are a testament to the power of language and its ability to bring people together, even in unexpected ways.
