My god am I so happy that this book caught my eye. The title was what grabbed me and as a linguistic lover and I bought it without much thought.
This is a beautiful and hilarious recount of the protagonist time during her language study in London during the early 2000s.
I laughed at her comments on the English language and how confusing and irregular it is. Her mistakes and blunders (that once I realised the true meaning were even funnier) are all so endearing. I especially loved her notes on London, as a Brit it was hilarious.
This was such a short sample of what I know is going to be an amazing book to read. So good job little book. You have now pointed me in the direction of a book and author to check out!!
