All me duty to ye, Cap’n! September 19th is International Talk like a Pirate Day! To celebrate and participate, check out Mango Languages lesson on Pirates. Besides learning key pirate phrases, you’ll also get cultural and grammar notes (and a few pirate jokes!) so you’ll be better prepared for Talk like a Pirate Day. With this Mango five-lesson mini-course, you’ll learn how to:
- Call someone names (Ye lily-livered scallywag!)
- Express surprise (Blow me down!)
- Give sailing commands (Haul wind smartly!)
- Greet a friend and a superior (Ahoy, me hearty!)
- Pay a compliment (A fine gentleman o’fortune be ye!)
Impress your landlubber friends with your swashbuckling language skills you learned from native pirate speakers on Mango – visit http://kslib.info/Mango - and if all this pirate-talk makes you want to walk the plank, there's over 70 other languages on Mango to learn!
