You want to learn Singlish or not. Can talk like us leh. Good hor? Maybe next time you go Sim Lim also wun kena tok.
Or in English...
Do you want to learn Singlish and speak like one of us? It may even come in handy when you shop at Sim Lim!

Ethy88 is promoting her or his learning centre on this board. You don't see it because we are promoting at the same time a spam free forum.

so... correct me if I'm wrong. I should basically learn to mispronounce my mother tongue, and say "eh" or "lah" every three words?
Having said that, I'm game, I have done silly things all my life!
Who? What? How? Why? Where? When? Merde...

The only thing I cannot grasp is that Singaporean-Mandarin intonation of English: when each syllable goes up or down instead of plain English speach. When I first came here and heard somebody speak that English, I thought the guy is a patient in mental clinic, although his English was seemingly correct (at least that portion he pronounced)... only later I understood it is their accent.
Can anyone teach me to speak like that? I will scare my friends!

The most incomprehensible phrase, to new comers, is when a Singaporean says "I meet you at the Ca Pa"
