the different structure of the
Hungarian language allows us to do so. We
hope this method will provide a real
opportunity -- in a real language environment
-- for the learners of English to follow and
recognize elements of English they have
learned in school.

understands you.
But
Italian,
German,
or
Japanese did not win the
language competition. English
did. Luckily, this does not
mean that there are people who
won and people who lost. In
fact, we will show that the
people whose language seemed
to win did not, in fact, improve
their positions. The other
people won, and those nonnative speakers will soon win
even more. This is one of the
many Globish Paradoxes.

more work.
But here is the good news: Your accent just
needs to be understandable...not perfect.
Learners of English often need to stop and
think about what they are doing. It is wise to
remember to ask: how much English do I
need? Do I need all the fine words and perfect
pronunciation? Perhaps not.

It is often that way across the world. Nonnative English speakers have many problems
with English. Some native English speakers
say non-natives speak broken English. In
truth, non-native English speakers talk to
each other effectively because they respect and
share the same limitations.

This
theory
of
limitations is not as
strange as it might
seem at first. Most
human
activities
have
some
limitations.

Who
is
responsible
for
effective
communication? Is it the speaker and writer,
or the listener and reader? The listener and
reader cannot make communication good if
the speaker or writer does not help. Who is
guilty if the message does not get across?
Who should do everything possible to make
sure he or she is understood?

When Globish Arrives
Since 2004, when the first books about
Globish were published, the talk about
Globish has changed. In that year, in forums
on the Internet, many English teachers looked
at the idea and then looked away, saying: I
cannot imagine anything important being
said in Globish and They are going to
destroy our beautiful English language and
Why cant they just learn how to speak
decent English? These forums are still on the
Internet. You can Google them.
