English as She is Spoke by Pedro Carolino (Paperback, 1990)

About this product

Product Information

This book derives from Pedro Carolino's Guide to the Conversation in Portuguese and English , published in 1869. It seems that Carolino's knowledge of English was little more than that furnished by a French-English dictionary and the result was a greater contributor to humour than linguistics.

Great version of the classic 'accidental comedy' masterpiece
There are many versions of this book available, but I recommend this one. - It contains the 'idiotisms and proverbs' in the back, which apparently some do not. - It leaves out the Portuguese, but keeps everything else. - It's an attractive little thing; the pictures online don't do it justice. Its cover is light grey and thick heavy duty paper and the print is really nice. We keep ours on the coffee table and have the other two purchases of it to give as gifts. It is definitely gift-worthy. Last but not least (and in fact, most importantly), there is not better sauce who the appetite. ;0)
