Can you understand Coach O? (no cheating)


Recommended Posts

I thought that this would be fun (and no calling your friends from Louisiana). Please listen to the below and then type your response as to what you think he is saying. I will post later today or tomorrow what he is ACTUALLY saying.

When I first moved to Louisiana in 2007 I would have been positive that those weren’t real words. I listened once and knew exactly what he said.

 

One summer in college I worked construction in Hilton Head. They paired the college kid with the guy who only spoke Gullah. We were trying to learn to communicate (better than pointing), but it was over 100 degrees for 3 straight weeks. He passed out on a 2nd story roof, fell and badly broke an arm. Never saw him again. And I never did understand a single thing he said.

This is really close!!

 

The answer: “Now I’m glad y’all didn’t have that raffle in South Lafourche. We would have never got past number 1.” 

That was the best I could offer after 4 listens.

Does this qualify as a second language for you???

Did he always have some mighty fine wine?

No. It was Peter, not Jeremiah. 

 

 

I’m the one with the wine.    ?

 

OK, full disclosure, it’s more quantity over quality. Not a wine snob, but cranky if I run out.

Ha ha, it kind of is. I can do a pretty good impression but I lose it after a few sentences. I can’t sustain it. It’s kind of like Spanish. I’m much better at understanding what they are saying than I am saying it.

I took 6 years of french growing up in WNY. I didn’t realize how valuable Spanish would be instead. A couple years ago I got on Duolingo online and got back up to 35% fluent (according to them) fairly easily. French came back pretty quickly, then I quit because I’d never use it, only to lose it again. I should have started from scratch with Spanish! I could use Spanish regularly around town, and we’re leaving for Spain late this month. Maybe I’ll start over and hope to learn enough to just not be too rude.
