Whale Watching!

Hi everyone! We just got back from our first field trip of the year. On Friday, we went out with the Pacific Whale Foundation on one of their whale watching ecotours. We were able to see lots of
whales energetically jumping and frolicking throughout the Maui ocean. We even got to see a group of 4 or 5 whales swimming together. For those of us who decided to brave the

return trip by sitting near the front of the boat, we were treated to a very refreshing saltwater shower.

I bet everyone practiced and memorized all of the Pidgin English words in last week's blog right? We'll continue to add more words and grammar to each of our blogs so that you'll be speaking Pidgin English in no time.

Let's start off today's lesson by introducing some new words.

Howzit? - How are you? How's it going? Whats up?

Ex.
1. Hey, howzit!?
Hey! How are you?

For those of you who are native English speakers, this word can easily be remembered because it sounds very similar to the greeting, "how's it going?" The only difference is that when you say "howzit?" you don't need to add the word "going" for the listener to understand you.

John: Eh, howzit!
Mike: Howzit!
John: I stay hungry, you like go grind?
Mike: Shoots!

Translation:
John: Hey! Whats up?
Mike: Whats up?
John: I'm pretty hungry. Do you want to get something to eat?
Mike: Sure, sounds good!

I'll end this blog here, but don't worry! We'll be back with more updates and Pidgin English lessons soon. Till next time!

Aloha!
