How now brown cow.

I’ve just been to Brentford vs Everton and I invited my refugee ( now with right to remain ) buddy, Omer.
I met Omer about 4 years ago, not long after he’d fled Turkey ( where he’d been jailed for writing something truthful about the President Erdogan )

Omer’s English vocabulary has improved no end since I met him, but his pronunciation is possibly even worse than it was 4 years ago.
I always tell him the same thing when I see him – sort out your English. Listen to well spoken Brits on the BBC etc and you’ll be far more employable. Somehow though it doesn’t seem to have sunk in.

I’ve been here for decades. Imagine if I said ‘ come by year will you butt and we’ll go out now in a minute ‘ .. just like I used to.
I’d never have got a job.

I had to listen to the BBC News and programs like To the Manor Born.

Look at me now – posh as anything.
