    About this audiobook

    This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

    Ever dreamed of mastering English, but struggle to understand the natives? Buckle up for "English as She Is Spoke," the audiobook that hilariously proves English is anything but what it seems. Join us on a journey through a world where servants "plough the land real," and laughter becomes "a horse laugh in the throat." This Portuguese-English phrasebook, written by men who didn't speak English, offers side-splitting sentences and nonsensical translations that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about the language. Prepare to be entertained, bewildered, and maybe even learn a little (unintended) English along the way. So, put on your monocle, grab your rubber chicken, and dive into the delightful absurdity of "English as She Is Spoke!"
