decided to teach a Spanish pal Nottmese after he kept moaning about how thw Andaluccians murdered his language.
I began by writing down the word SARTLE, telling him I'd keep modifying it until he recognised it.
I then wrote SARTLISS. Nothing. I then wrote SARTLISSES. Nowt. I then wrote MOATISSARTLISSES and we finally got somewhere.
I think the next lesson was verbs, beginning with the verb TLET. As in TLETSHUN BOX.
