There is a wonderful old book called “The Education of H*Y*M*A*N K*A*P*L*A*N” by Leo Rosten. It tells the story (if I remember correctly” about a new immigrant going to night school to learn English and how he completely fractures the language. Just to be sure that I didn’t give you the wrong information, I Googled the title before I posted this. Turns out the book was originally written 72 years ago. I could barely believe it was that old. I have read it at least once – many years ago when I was a teenager – and found it very funny. It seems that it is still available, so I think it is definitely time for a re-read. I think that many of you would find it very amusing – if you like Yinglish.
