ABRACADABRA (To Languages Learning)

By Angel Biojó



Oddly enough all children know that

And what is it that all children know?

That an M is an M is an M

Regardless the language



If you are not silly in your mother tongue

Don\'t make yourself silly in an alien one

And if by any chance you ever feel tempted just bear in mind

That even silly people are not necessarily mute or deaf... See more

By Angel Biojó



Oddly enough all children know that

And what is it that all children know?

That an M is an M is an M

Regardless the language



If you are not silly in your mother tongue

Don\'t make yourself silly in an alien one

And if by any chance you ever feel tempted just bear in mind

That even silly people are not necessarily mute or deaf.



Bad spelling produces deafness

Deafness and bad spelling produce blindness

Blindness, bad spelling and deafness produce stammering

And it all starts with bad spelling.



It is exactly as you always suspected

And what is it that you always suspected

That you don\'t have to be especially smart to learn

Someone else\'s tongue. For even idiots learn their own.









ABRACADABRA (Para aprender idiomas)

Por Angel Biojó



Extrañamente todos los niños saben eso

¿Y qué es eso que todos los niños saben?

Que una M es una M es una M

Sin importar el idioma.



Si no eres tonto en tu idioma nativo

No te hagas el tonto en uno extraño

Y si alguna vez te sientes tentado tan solo acuérdate

Que aún los tontos no son necesariamente mudos o sordos



La mala ortografía produce sordera

La sordera y la mala ortografía producen ceguera.

La ceguera La sordera y la mala ortografía producen tartamudez

Y todo comienza con la mala ortografía



Es exactamente como tú siempre sospechabas

¿Y qué es eso que tú siempre sospechabas?

Que no tienes que ser especialmente inteligente para aprender

El idioma de otro. Porque aún los idiotas aprenden el propio.
