Stay around them long enough, you will learn it.
Or ask them to speak it to you. That's what we did with my sis in law, actually that's what we did with majority of our friends.

i have no idea :S lol
Re: I Wanna Learn Pidgin English! by RuuDie(m): 10:35am On Jul 10, 2009
Correction for Lesson #1:

"How una dey?" = How are you folks/guys/girls/peeps doing? *at least thats what i meant wink

"una" - mostly used to refer to more than one person
"dey" - in this context, refers to present condition; physical, mental, whatever. . . . .
Re: I Wanna Learn Pidgin English! by RuuDie(m): 10:38am On Jul 10, 2009

"u don chop?"

Re: I Wanna Learn Pidgin English! by RuuDie(m): 6:27pm On Jul 11, 2009

chop = eat

Lesson #3:
