Hi Priscilla,

I am English by birth, so it is my first language. It is a very useful language in PNG because it is widely spoken in business and in social settings such as the Yacht Club, Golf Club, Vision City and in restaurants. I would like to speak some Tok Pisin, but don't really have time to learn.

Regards,

Mike

I have no problem speaking in English. It is like my 3rd language to me after my mother tounge and chinese. Learning now some Tok Pisin, by time maybe i can master it...

Hi Priscilla,

In Papua New Guinea, both English and Tok Pisin are widely used. Other local dialects like Motu is also being used but mostly by nationals who grew up with the language. In my experience, Tok Pisin is easier to learn because of its similarity with English. Motu, on the other hand, is a bit difficult. The reason being is that it's hard to find a reference to that language.

I learned Tok Pisin through reading Wantok newspaper and from reading King James Bible written in Tok Posin (Pidgin). I'm not good at it but I guess I can convey the message well because the locals can understand me when I'm speaking in Tok Pisin.

As for where I learned English, its part of the curriculum in the Philippines. So we have English subjects from elementary up to college.

Hello everybody.
Who can advise a good English teacher?
