Some of you may have seen an article in the June edition of Newsweek about a new language called Globish. It is an easier version of standard English and is a response to the changing demands of a global economy. Globish is not ‘pidgin’ or ‘broken’ English but it is highly simplified with no idioms. So instead of saying “I would never put up with that behaviour” Globish translates as “He should not do such a thing.” Globish fans say English takes 24 years to learn – if you study for 20 hours a year. Whereas, Globish, which has a vocabulary of 1,500 words, takes just 9 years to learn. Personally, I don’t think we need another language! (by Prof. Simon Smith)
