Soon it will be Memorial Day, then the 4th of July, and then the giant holiday void that is August, and then … International Talk Like a Pirate Day! At the Mudd we can’t wait for September 19th to roll around. Now, you too can practice your pirate platitudes, pronouns and participles.
Mango Languages, a language-learning company, is offering a Pirate Course FREE now through June 30. As they so accurately put it: “Pirate is bold, brazen and chock full of eccentric insults.”
Some of your “Conversational Goals” may be:
- Call someone names
- Express surprise
- Give sailing commands
- Greet a friend and a superior
- Pay a compliment
As an added bonus you get cultural notes, cool graphics and genuine pirates pronouncing the words.
