Voorbeeldzinnen

1. The typical Japanese person doesn't speak English.
2. Researchers at the university of Paderborn have established that it took up to 2000 hours of English learning for a French speaker to speak English correctly. Given that there are 32 weeks of classes in a year and with 3 hours of lessons every week, 20.83 years of study are thus necessary for a French person to speak good English.
3. English studies on the use of cell phones by young people show truly worrying situations, in which a person between the ages of six and twenty sends an average of twenty nine messages, receives fifteen, and makes nine calls each day.
4. English used to have two forms for "you," one intimate and one "polite." No more. But where status matters, and a deferential address is called for, the third person is pressed into service; and the headwaiter asks, "Does the gentleman want a table?"
5. When an English speaker realises that a foreign person they are speaking to doesn't understand one of their sentences, they repeat it, the same way, but louder, as though the person were deaf. At no point does it come to their mind that their vocabulary might be complicated or that their expression might most probably be ambiguous to a foreigner and that they could reword it in a simpler way. The result is that not only the person still doesn't understand, but gets irritated at being considered deaf.
