DEZLEGARE DE RASPUNDERE

As vrea sa-mi pot organiza blogul, pentru ca nu pot sa sufar harababura, dar….nu stiu cum s-o fac, pentru ca, asa cum spune Calin, sunt paralela cu tehnica, iar el nu da “doi bani” sa ma ajute! De la britanici nu pot astepta ajutor, pentru ca, din experienta mea cu nativii, am constatat ca indiferenta apartine culturii natiei, care se lauda ca ii place sa ajute, dar, de fapt, vrea doar sa aiba folos de la alte etnii. Poate romanii m-ar ajuta, sau poate ...nu! Presupun ca si in caz ca blogul meu, este vizitat de romanii din Romania, acestia nu ma vor ajuta, pentru ca eu "nu pup curu nimanui" si, mai ales, "spun lucrurilor pe nume" Ceea ce mi se pare, totusi, ciudat este faptul ca postarile mele in limba romana au vizualizari, iar eu nu cred ca printre englezi sunt vorbitori de limba romana!

Deoarece stiu doar o engleza elementara, cu toate ca am “intrat” pe internet acum 13 ani, iar in UK sunt de 6 ani si jumatate, nu sunt sigura daca traducerea postarilor mele este pe intelesul vorbitorilor de engleza. Este vorba de topica, de intelesul multiplu al unor cuvinte si de faptul ca Google translate nu ma ajuta aproape deloc, deoarece traducerea este ingrozitoare sau complet idioata. Asa ca, ma bazez mai mult pe simtul meu lingvistic. As vrea sa ma exprim pe intelesul tuturor, deoarece intentionez sa postez multe din lucrurile pe care le stiu si le-am trait, pentru folosul oricarui fel de auditoriu.

In decurs de o luna si 1 saptamana, de cand am inceput sa lucrez la blog am postat 17 articole, dar neavand vreun comentariu, cu toate ca m-am straduit sa fac un lucru bun, nu imi dau seama daca vorbitorii de limba engleza ma inteleg.

Eu spun ca stiu o engleza elementara, pentru ca nu am avut vreodata aptitudinea de a invata o limba streina. De asemeni, eu nu vorbesc cu lumea decat in institutii, unde se vorbeste o engleza standard, cu care ma descurc bine, mai ales ca scriu destul de multe plangeri, eu fiind o nemultumita cronica. Cu lumea obisnuita nu vorbesc decat arareori, pentru ca nu inteleg aproape deloc argoul sau dialectul “judetului” si pentru ca, mai mult sau mai putin, majoritatea vorbeste prea repede (poate cu intentia de a ma pune in dificultate) pentru intelegerea mea.

De altfel majoritatea britanica nu stie sa vorbeasca si cu atat mai putin sa scrie in limbaj standard. Dovada am avut-o cand am fost la cursul de Engleza Aptitudini Functionale. Eram colega cu lume obisnuita, de origine britanica. Am fost pusi sa separam etichete, unele continand cuvinte din Engleza standard iar altele din argou. Deoarece colegii mei nu au stiut s-o faca, am facut-o eu. Am reusit sa fac impartirea perfecta, pt. motivul ca stiu limbajul standard. Am pus pe o coloana toate cuvintele standard, iar ce mi-a ramas (un numar egal de cuvinte) am presupus ca sunt argou si le-am pus pe cealalta coloana.

Poate unii, se intreaba de ce am postat, ca imagine de profil, o fotografie cu mine desfacand plicul in care se afla Certificatul de Naturalizare, cumva ca sa ma laud?! Iar raspunsul meu este: DA. Am facut asta deoarece obtinerea cetateniei britanice este cea mai mare realizare din viata mea si pentru ca in aceasta poza arat cel mai bine!

GYPSIES (who they are and what they want)-1st PART

I will have several posts related to gypsies. I will not write here, what I read through different texts or heard from people, but about my and not at last Calin's experience connected with gypsies. I can not say they're a people, that they, in fact, were spread worldwide and took not only the physiognomy of the people, in whose country they settled down (or ... not), but also the language, worship, habits and even nationality. When I was a child, in Romania, my parents went to Indian films, which in a certain period were very popular there (I remember "the Vagabond" with Raj Kapoor). At that time, i.e. in the Communist era, there were many cinemas in Constanta (the city where I lived almost half of my life). Wherever Indian films were broadcast, there were huge queues at the ticket box office. The Romanians had not enough seats, because of the gypsies, who crowded the entrance with their families. That's because, they said, that the Indians were their brothers...

IN THE MEMORY OF JUDIE REGLER - A TRUE STORY WITH A TRAGIC END

FROM THE SERIES: FROM THE HILL,  STRAIGHT TO HOSPITAL    I personally met Judie in May 2007 when I first came to the UK. From then until the end of 2017 I kept in touch by emails and in person, she being one of the very few humans that contributed, beneficial, to the change of our destiny, Calin's and mine.   In 2007 Judie was an active woman; she did not have a family near her, but she had many friends and many more acquaintance. She was honest, maybe too honest, and tried, as much as she could, to help, without discriminating, humiliating or demanding advantages of any kind. Sometimes she behaved strange, she said it was due to a mental illness she'd suffered since childhood. We, myself and Calin, have put these actions of her on the fact that she had too much confidence in what people say, especially psychiatrists and occult groups with whom she was in constant contact, and especially because she drank too much whiskey.   Because this article is pa...

CONSERVATIVE or LABOUR

THE WORLD HAS CHANGED, BUT HISTORY IS REPEATING! (This text is more of a comment than an article, because it is not objective but it expresses my personal views!) The British people have the greatest freedom to choose, but not only they not use their brain in this huge advantage, but in important moments it makes choices that deepen the abyss between rich and poor. Unfortunately, the actual British general elections have a huge influence on the whole world and Europe in particular. As it happened on 2015, so will happen on June 8, 2017. Conservatives will, again, win this elections. I state this, because I rely on the conservative character (to not say, really racist and ignorant) of the majority of British, white natives. Here I will make some points. The English does not like to call himself British, because he does not want to accept that the Scots, the Northern Irish and the Welsh are his brothers. The truth is that Welsh people name themselves only Welsh and the Irish onl...
