Mind Your Language is a British comedy television series that premiered on ITV in late 1977. The series focuses on the adult students of the English as a Foreign Language class in a London school, focusing on the English as a Foreign Language class taught by Mr. Jeremy Brown, who had to deal with a motley crew of foreigners. The class consists of foreigners with varying degrees of English proficiency. The humor of the show is derived from the students misunderstanding English words or terms and plays up to the cultural stereotype of their individual nation of origin. The subtitles should be helpful. I hope no one is offended. Check out the episodes on Youtube.

Well, it really a “weekend” for me when it’s a holiday in Germany and everyone takes a “Brückentag” and offloads everything onto the freelance translator. But happy Friday all the same.
