Boom Ting

As I seem to be suffering short term memory loss on a more regular basis these days, I thought that perhaps I should take up some new activities to help to stimulate my brain.

Learning a new language is always recommended to help stave off dementia so I thought I would try this to see if it helps.

I have settled on Yoof Speak as it seems to be everywhere at the moment and is a language that I really don't understand too well (which is its purpose I gather - they don't want us wrinklies knowing what they are talking about).

So, I was like well gassed goin' wiv my bae up to Ramsey this morning.  We got us a flat white then some dench towels for the kitchen. But, like, oh em gee, we had the Five-O behind the whip back to da crib so, like, well slowed down.

Hmmm. I think it needs a little more work...innit?

    It doesn't appeal to me, I have been thinking of Spanish as I learnt a smattering at school. My Grandson would love you though, lol

      Just a tongue in cheek post. They are welcome to their slang. I think I'll stick with "proper" English.
      Spanish is a good language to learn. Simple rules and easy to grasp. Go for it x

    Your penultimate paragraph suggests that dementia has already arrived as it is complete gibberish. Why not learn the Manx language instead?
    e.g. Loayr Gaelg rhym, my sailt = Speak to me in Manx.
