'If you can't master English, try Globish'
It happens all the time. You are at an airport, and the man on your left, who is maybe Korean, starts talking to the man opposite, who is maybe Colombian, and soon they are talking in what seems to be English:
Where you fly? 'Paris. You?' ' I go New York business. 'When arrive? 'Four tomorrow in afternoon. 'Children?' 'One boy, two girl. You? 'No. Only girlfriend.' 'OK. Have good journey.' 'Thanks. And you.
They don't know it, but the Korean and the Columbian are speaking Globish. Its inventor, a Frenchman called Jean-Paul Nerriere, doesn't see it as a real language.
'It isn't a language, it's a tool, a means of global communication. It's a sort of 'English lite' - simple language that people alt over the world can understand.
'The language spoken all over the world, by 88 per cent of the people, is not exactly English, but it works; it does the job.'
Nerriere, who retired from the computer giant, IBM, speaks excellent English. The main feature of Globish is that it has only 1,500 words. Grammar isn't important.
He had the idea while he was at a meeting in Paris. Before the meeting, one hundred colleagues from over forty different countries were talking in a sort of English. Everyone was happy, and everyone understood. Then the two American speakers arrived to talk to the group. They began by saying 'Hi, I'm Jim,' 'Hi, I'm Bill,' but after that no one understood a word they said. And the Americans had difficulty understanding other people in the group.
This is the problem. Do native speakers of English understand Globish? No worries. Nerriere is writing a version ofdobish to help the English understand.
