Reflection

This hasn't really changed my language belief, it just kind of made me want to change some of my english words with some British slang. I kind of wanted to know more different types of British slang like Cockney.

Do you think British slang is a cool dialect to learn?

Recommendations

I guess if your going to do british slang should just put more information on your blog about it and get people to read it. The your classmates to read your blogger before doing the graph. You should study a lot on your subject before you start typing your information up.

Conclusions

I think that if people knew a little more about British slang then the graph might have been different. For right now most of the people in my class don't think British slang is worth learning. If you check out my other things on this site then your answer might be a little different.

What does the data show? What does it mean?

The data show what the majority of my class think about British slang. Which means that most of my class really doesn't care about British slang.

I will survey 10 people about British slang. I don't really know the all people that I'm going to survey, but it should all work out. I'm going to Interview people at different times then write down what each person said to get their piont of view.

My Research Goal(s)

I want to know why people talk that why and where did it start, because I want to learn to talk  that way.

My Language Beliefs

I belief that the way you talk is what make you you. If everyone talk the same why then everyone would probably act the same. All the guest speakers that we had talk different. We have all different kinds of teens in our class and we all talk different. Some of us talk proper, different language, or Ebonics.
