Shqiplish

When learning a new language together with a group of people, you are bound to start to create your own strange hybrid of the new language and your native tongue. Many people have heard of Spanglish (the combination of Spanish and English). After a few weeks learning Albanian (Shqip) the volunteers have started to speak a lot of Shqiplish. A volunteer from group 10 (that would be the training group last year) wrote a song in Shqiplish. Let me tell you, it is hilarious, if you speak Albanian and English. Sorry if you don’t speak Albanian, but you might think it is funny anyway and it is educational- the song is all about the most important word in the Albanian language- “Mirë.”
