This is exactly the kind of ad i would be putting in had i learned spanish. I would murder any new language in a way that no one is capable of :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat! Some of the pseudo English you see around the world is truly bewildering!
ReplyDeleteNice blog Nam - you're a truly international exec! Oman, Barcelona... where else?

Anubhav, I have no doubt you would!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding! I think you can dominate a language with practice and immersion. Its a matter of time till you get it right, and a matter of correcting mistakes early on, before you get too used to making them all the time.
Thanks Jabberwocky!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been writing at all lately, but I'll get back in the flow soon enough! Do stick around :)
To answer ur question, I was born in India, raised in Oman, later moved to the US for an undergrad degree and currently live in Spain. A lot of moving about, too much perhaps!
