'Benglish'

Ever fancied learning a new language?

I know my Dad has - "I'm gonna learn French" he once said. Once. And then, again and again and again. We're still waiting...

But just think of the benefits for a moment. The benefits of being multi-lingual.

Our eldest son is only 2 years 4 months old, but we think we've got a little genius in the making as he's already gone one step further. He's invented his own language.

Here's a smattering of 'benglish' for you to digest that we've picked up over the last 12 months.

It's quite a guttural dialect and can be quite hard to get accustomed to at first, particularly in the verbal form, but when you put your mind to it and just focus on the key sounds in each word, you really can master 'benglish' in no time.

See how you get on.
