American woman spends eight years learning Welsh only to discover she’s got nobody to talk 😁😂

AN American woman who devoted eight years to learning fluent Welsh has got nobody to talk to because hardly anybody speaks it in the US.

The Cleveland, Ohio, woman fell in love with the Celtic language after listening to Welsh musicians such as Gruff Rhys, Llwybr Llaethog and Dau Cefn. "But I have only met one other American who speaks Welsh and he lives in Wales. I think only about 20 per cent of Welsh people can speak Welsh!"However, she admits that during her first visit to Wales in May, some locals praised her vocabulary - but others struggled to understand her."I got very mixed reviews on my accent though; some people said I definitely have an American accent [and] some people said I sounded like I was from North Wales.

Welsh first emerged about 1,500 years ago, and the earliest Welsh literature dates back to the sixth century.Business News Wales

THIS REPORT IS TOTAL RUBBISH 😡

Lolll😂, I was born in Cardiff but moved to London at 6 so I wasnt able to get around to the whole language and later forgot the rest, great place tho❤️

😃😂😂😂

Curiosity about other cultures and languages is anathema to this notorious rag. Quelle surprise! as the saying goes.

Curiosity about other cultures and languages is anathema to this racist rag. Quelle surprise! as the saying goes.

Imagine if everyone who works for The Sun died 😄😂

Really? Because I recently heard a lot of people speaking it. When I was IN WALES.

Dors anyone actually still buy this embarrassment of a newspaper?! The only time I see it is a free newspaper when you get on some flights!! 😂😂😂😂

Usual bullshit story twisting to an agenda 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😡

YnyrHumphreys22 👀👀

Imagine hoping to be a journalist and then realising you'll have to work for The Sun instead.

Can you write proper English? “...she’s got nobody to talk”? Also, the premise is bullshit.

Do you understand what you’ve just written 🤨

A typical monolingual opinion that if a language doesn't have many speakers then it is pointless learning it. Then again, I can imagine the average Sun reader struggles with English...

Find some real stories to report. Oh, sorry you don't do that because you're TheSunIsCrap

Screw The Sun 🖕🏼

Ffyc chi

🖕🏻

This article is utter shite. Well done for being consistent.

I’d rather sit and listen to her talk a language I don’t understand than spend a second with any of you goons.

British Peopke reading the Sun have found that they become less intelligent

This 'news outlet' appears to not have a proofreader...

English publication spends decades writing stories only to discover they are jokes

FfionLloyd_

'Nobody to talk to' have you never been to Wales fam?

Learning other languages is an enriching experience, and never a waste of time. *Looks at tweet* Do let us know when you've learned your first.

FUCK THE SUN an who ever wrote this article 🖕🏼

What a stupid and small minded way to spin the story. Good on her.

She's not living in Ryle is she?

You do this with black people all the time. It is no longer getting you attention. You won’t do this with Jews tho. I am sure you know that will get you banned.

If there was ever a publication that deserved to be Hebdo'd ☝😂

Maybe one day nobody will read this comic book. Only thick people pay to read it today anyway.

You are a bunch of MUGS !!!!!!

Someone who speaks 3+ languages is multilingual, someone who speaks only 2 languages is bilingual, someone who speaks only one is English

Imagine all those years learning to be a journalist and ending up working for The Sun. 😁😂🤣

Racist shitrag of a paper.

Why are you making up a racist story

At least she’s having a go at learning something new. I’ll talk to her . You go girl

The sun really is a shit paper looking for divisiveness and negativity.

Amissis aliquot millia gratulantes lectores, podicem Murdaci.

Imagine writing for a ‘newspaper’ and then realising that the editorial process reduced it to to a sub ‘Beano’ publication. The journalism of idiocy.

Bollocks. Absolute nonce paper.

Journalist is a nonce

Rubbish. She didn't learn it because she thought lots of people spoke it, especially not in the US. She learnt it because it is beautiful and so is she.

What a way to welcome a paying tourist to the UK. Ignorant, bullying and just plain rude. How on Earth is this “newspaper” still running?

What's really hilarious is that the Sun can't write a headline that makes sense in English .....

Here you go , I fixed it for you. American woman spends 8 years learning a new language and now enjoys being part of a vibrant international community of Welsh speakers 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 shitrag LitterTrayLining

😂

Crap journalism from The Sun : Situation Normal.

A great reason to accelerate ‘s car crash circulation (which has almost halved in 2yrs) by boycotting the piece of trash in Wales. Diolch! BoycotttTheSun

Imagine being a parent and having your child say they’ve got a new job as a “journalist” at The Sun - the shame would be unbearable.

There’s seems to be a very anti- welsh theme creeping back into the media of late

Wouldn’t line my cat litter tray with that paper, good for you Geordan, be proud.

I see a woman learning for learning's sake thoroughly blows minds down at the S*n 😂🤯

Why is the English wrong in this headline as you mock someone learning one of the most difficult languages on earth?

“Welsh includes loan-words from Latin, Irish, Norse, Norman French and, of course, English.” Why say:- “and, of course, English.” Please tell me more about these ‘loaned’ English words that we just had to have!!

And they wonder why none of the home nations like the English 🙄

No Americans speak welsh. Well no shit. But da iawn to her for boosting our once oppressed language.

Cutting edge stuff. Who the fuck reads this?

No one to talk to. Go learn how to write in english,and then you can judge her.

Yaccy da !

Da iawn 👏

I think everybody that retweets this should put a link to the BBC or Guardian or something with 'ignore the thesun and read the real story!'

The sun spends 8 years begging people to buy a printed copy only to find that they don't even fucking read its online bilgewater. donotbuythesun

Totally wrong again

The only people buying the Sun are barbers, sandwich shops (maybe the odd cafe) and people who stay at home and pretend it’s still 1985!

shitrag

The pure scum at it again.

Ná ceannaigh an ghrian riamh

She can go to Trelew, Patagonia. There is a large community of Welsh speakers.

Fford allan.

ymladd fi

shame you’ve had even longer to learn the english language and clearly can’t even speak that correctly

Maybe you should focus on your own English language skills rather than criticising others endeavours to expand their knowledge of the world through language. Clearly you can’t even manage to form a complete sentence in your own mother tongue 😂 just look at that headline! rag

Please fire whoever wrote this tweet. The headline is bad enough, but the mean-spirited mocking that is displayed here barely belongs in a schoolyard, and if this person were a small child behaving this way in a schoolyard, I'd give them detention and a lecture about bullying.

Efallai dylai gohebwyr y Sun codi mas mwy i gwrdd â phobol go iawn yn lle gwneud storiau lan trwy'r amser? Rhag eich cywilydd.

So, because 'hardly anybody speaks it in the US', she's got 'nobody to talk to'? Uh, I think your headline is dumb and misleading. Surely she's not the only one studying Welsh in the US. Surely there are a host of other reasons to learn a language; like being able to read it.

That’s not even a sentence! Pathetic. Mae Geordan yn ôsym!! DontBuyTheSun

Probs learent it so she could use it to slag the english off without them knowing it

What

Such a pathetic 'news' outlet

Is that so? Well, this woman has more discipline, dignity, self-respect, and integrity than anyone who chooses to work for a rag like yours!

The Sun! say no more, I personally don't need to post abuse as people know your just little englanders with right wing rhetoric...carry on 💩

You could have learnt Spanish & go to Spain instead. What a waste of 8 years 😊

Looking at how that tag line is written, you struggle with English, let alone the complexities of Welsh Also you’re likely bellends.

Skype

Bolycs!

'she's got nobody to talk'? What is all that about? I realise you're probably an unpaid intern made to write this BS with the stupid emojis, you can honestly do better in life, just walk out of the door and find a better job.

Fuck

Shockingly dismissive headline after someone went to great lengths to learn a language. It seems sadly typical of the English print media. Good on her. Diolch o galon i ti am ddysgu; ma na lawer o ffrindie da ti draw yng Nghymru fydd yn barod iawn i siarad â ti.

😏 The Sun was is and will always be mischievous. The dregs of humanity [News of World journalists ] probably joined The Sun. TheSun. I don’t read and Daily Mail. DailyMailUK DailyMail Welsh NewsOfWorld grdnlyb

Why is this funny?

Is The Sun capable of telling the truth?

Bydd ganddi fwy o bobl i siarad â nhw, nag sydd gennych chi ddarllenwyr. Mynd i ffwcio chi eich hun!

You’re well behind the times. As usual. Why don’t you peddle some lies about bendy bananas? Or was that the other hate-filled rag? Hard to distinguish these days.

Bullshit. It's used everywhere I go to on Anglesey and the Llyn peninsula. It's the first language people do business in here!

That 'article', if you can call it that, is an total distortion of what Geordan Burress actually said. Debbie White should be ashamed of herself, deliberately misreporting to make a headline at the expense of the true story, but what more can we expect from the lying Sun.

What an utterly pointless story that is indicative of the Sun’s sneering of anything beyond the Home Counties. The union needs to end.

Think its time that this newspaper dies from the slow agonising death it has been crawling through for the past few years. A wneud siwr i rhoi parll i fob iaith ym y byd/make sure to give respect to every language of the world

What shoddy journalism 😔 Shame on you for spinning this story to be something it’s not!

What a lovely story!

a filthy twist on a lovely story. shame on you.

She should come and visit Wales. Welsh is very much alive. I’m currently staying in Aberystwyth and Ive spoken more Welsh than english here and I’ve heard it all over the place. Cymraeg am byth!!

Woman spends years and thousands of pounds on an education in media & journalism only to discover she’s a journalist for 😂😂 debbiewhite

2million copies of the paper are sold daily and only 5 of the customers can read so what's the point of keeping it in production 👌😂

Woman spends years in university only to end up writing bigoted articles for an absolute shitrag 😳😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I've been in contact with her on-line for a couple of years through the medium of the native language of this island ie Cymraeg.

Can’t wait for the day when you’re talking to no one and go the way of the NOTW - bore off zzzzzzz

Ah brilliant. Let's mock a women who decided to learn something different.

Seriously, what is wrong with you?! Are u guys just not capable?!?!?! This cannot be good for your soul if you work there. Gosh, how does the headline editor get through the day?!

Sun journalist spends 8 minutes writing a 15 word headline and still fucks it up.

That headline is grossly misleading. And nasty.

dontbuythesun

Time to run the Sun out of Wales, just like it was run out of Liverpool 😡

Yeah, just a big laugh isn’t it. Just like your paper sales in Liverpool. Jog on.

Plenty o very here in Cardigan!

6 years of that was de-bastardising the English she learnt in America!

The Sun isn't good enough for me to wipe my arse on let alone anything else. A rag of a so called paper.

That reminds me - need cat litter so off to the newsagents to buy the

She managed to find another Welsh speaking American in Wales. Did the tweet writer even read the article? 🤔

Still a larger number than your sales in Liverpool! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Someone spent four years (minimum) at university to end up writing this shit. Someone also spent years at university to end up tweeting this shit.

She's still in America?

Why do you keep asking my local Spar to offer me free copies? The answer is that circulation is plummeting and you can’t find anyone who’ll actually buy one, of course. Tell them to stop asking. It’s at Heol Ewenni, Penybont ar Ogwr. Diolch.

How the fuck can they print this garbage? Pwy ffwc sy’n dal i ddarllen y papur sglodion cachu yma Cymraeg yagym

Horrifically misleading headline

Bet she doesn’t read the Sun

Come on the sun, what a crap bit of journalism! Maybe try a bit harder next time. Actually, dont bother as i never read your paper anyhow!

Public service reading so you don't have to - she only knows one other American who speaks Welsh (& lives in Wales), but she was able to make links with Welsh speakers online & she's visited Wales. Headline dig/comment not remotely justified by the article.

She literally has over half a million to talk.....to 🤦🏼‍♀️

This part of the article is interesting... “Welsh includes loan-words from Latin, Irish, Norse, Norman French and, of course, English” Sorry I hadn’t realised that ‘English’ is a pure, original language and hasn’t borrowed one bit from any the above, OF COURSE.

The Sun convinces somebody to give up their time for a story, only to respin it into mocking them for their interests. The irony is that the writer spent a lifetime learning English only to use it to spew bile onto the internet for dwindling ad revenue in a dead industry.

Bloke down the reads the scum newspaper. No one talks to that racist Tory div. Even his own kids have disowned him.

Twll tin rupert Murdoch. Digon o pobol yn sharad cymraeg! Cont o papur

This is what the Sun looks like to 90% of the UK population. A total rag of a Newspaper read by Billy Britain’s and brain dead’s

Wankers 🖕🖕

Even the lady herself grdnlyb was disgusted by how her story was taken out of context and made her “further realize that there’s a great deal of ignorance, bias, disrespect, and straight up hatred toward minority languages and cultures” - read her thread instead of this trash.

Being a 'journalist' at the Sun LOL.

jft96 dontbuythesun

I would think there's about 10 million worldwide still learning Latin. Some of the UK's most eminent people from the 19th c and 20th c history did, and had 'no one to talk to'. So I'm calling bullshit on this. Some of your journalists really aren't too clever, are they?

Same as me with the Turkish lingo! 😉

I spoke to her....

Geordan, I commend you. Please feel free to learn Cornish next! The sun... I’m sorry this awful story was in your paper, because it meant I had to engage with a rag that I’d rather otherwise avoid.

You lost Liverpool years ago and now you're doing your beat to lose the Welsh. Bravo sun Bravo

I never believe a word from the sun but this is just bullshit.

She can come and talk to me, along with thousands of my fiends and compatriots if she wants a holiday. I’ll even put her up for free. CadwYrIaithYnFyw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 As for your paper, I wouldn’t use it even if I ran out of Andrex 💩

She knows at least two languages, while you struggle with one.

Bunch of Anglo-Saxon Twats !!! People should boycott this sad piece of so called NEWSPAPER . Yr's ffwcars digwylidd. Nown Ni Godi Un Waeth Eto. Twll Tin Pob Sais. Means all English are assholes :) :) :)

Bullshit. I live in Washington DC and there is a Welsh group that meets to converse in Welsh. There are many in the USA. not any English groups that I know of- mind you the average red neck probably speaks better English that most Sun writers.

She’s got more Welsh-speaking friends than you’ll ever have. dontbuythesun

Proper baked beans story this

'newspaper' still thinks its a big time player in the journalism world but is actually a shit rag

A nasty headline and you've taken her comments out of context, but you're the sun, we don't really expect any better I suppose. Liverpool learnt that and took positive action against you.

Mae hi'n croeso dod i Gymru. Mae llawer o bobl gyda ni sy'n siarad Cymraeg yma.

British students spend six years obtaining a journalism degree only to discover they've got nowhere to work except at The Sun.

Scum newspaper. The woman in question has said you've completely spun this story and misinterpreted her words. You continue to prove you really are a bunch of c*nts.

Ridiculous headline. Ridiculous paper. Or/neu: pennawd hurt bost. Papur tŷ bach.

*she aint got nobody to talk Fixed it for you.

Funny how you lot keep attacking the Welsh language when you can’t even finish a sentence in English...

Well, now, that's funny, considering there are plenty of Welsh speaking areas in...Wales. I hear it all the time when I go. Also, you might want to learn to write a sentence before you mock others, idiot.

Apart from the hundreds of thousands of people speak it, Saesneg cont.

Roedd yn hyfryd treulio amser gyda ti grdnlyb . Edrych mlân i’r tro nesa’💜

Talk to***. Before you go mocking another’s language learn to speak your own.

Best thing would have been to ignore this post altogether, they love the attention

An Englishman walks into a pub in Wales...

Suspect her Welsh is better than your English.

Dear The S*n,

Afiach! 🤬

Better off taking lessons in punjabi or something along those lines and going to England. Plenty of people to talk to there.

To Geordan I say ‘Da iawn am ddysgu ac yn siarad cymraeg! Bydd croeso mawr yn Nghymru! (Sorry if that’s not good Welsh - am English learning Welsh myself) To : if the language is in such bad state why spend so much time & £s attacking it? Just let it go. It won’t though.

I'm not sure we should give rags like too much of our concern. Its worth remembering this is the cesspool they dwell in. Attacking people and culture is what rags like that do. Cymraeg Welsh A 'paper' best used as toilet roll in emergencies.

She should come to Chicago, loads of Welsh speakers in our group. Doing a night of Welsh music and comedy on July 21st at phpubchicago

North American Festival of Wales (NAFoWales) is up the road in Milwaukee this August/September an all.

The same Geordan who flew over to Wales & was welcomed and celebrated a few weeks ago? It’s interesting that she’ll learn even more about the S*n culture of attacking minorities from another angle now as well

Don't buy the Sun.

At least she can speak various languages, the sun cannot usually put a sentence together in 1 language. Good for her, it's a beautiful language.

The sun tries to string sentences together everyday only to discover that no one reads it

please correct this misleading headline - I converse with the amazing woman in Welsh daily as do many of us in Wales. She is inspirational grdnlyb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Ah! The Scum...

The subject has responded that she sees her learning as a great experience and that it was an effort born out of interest in another culture, and you try to humiliate her for it. The organisation you work for poisons humanity with it's hatred.

Liquidate

There are far more people who speak Welsh than there are people who think your shit rag of a 'newspaper' is trustworthy. My local Spar is always trying to get customers to take a free copy and 95% always so no. You can't even give this crap away for free! 😂

This wonderful woman would get a Croeso Cynnes in Wales. Can’t say the same about the rubbish rag which wrote this tripe.

🤣😁😁😁😁😁

Can’t knock anyone for learning a second language, no matter how “obscure” it may seem to others.

.... you guys suck.

There are Welsh speakers all over the USA we meet monthly and weekly in person and on line. Terrible newspaper twisting the news

...to

dont go to Wales nobody there speaks it either

When small minds try & comprehend large ones. Like an ant's comprehension of an elephant as it crawls on its back. I'm in a Welsh learners group n Colorado, and I follow the inspirational Geordan Burress online. Dysgu Cymraeg

English man spend several years learning Latin only to discover he’s got nobody to talk to 😁😂

You lot really are BrExiT MeANs BRexIT merchants

Welsh isn’t a useless language. Sneering at her for learning it is pathetic.

Fyddwn i ddim yn leinio'r cawell adar gyda'ch papur newydd

Here we go again, the anti-Welsh crusade by the English media continues. About time your shite newspaper was banned from Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Well, I'm one of the proud 'nobodies' that Geordan has been talking to over social media for a number of years... in Welsh. How about she teaches you how to write in English!

Maybe somebody should tell the Sun that it's even the first language in some parts of Patagonia. Oops sorry I better explain to the Sun Patagonia is in Argentina.

Hazard a guess there's more Welsh speakers than Sun readers.

Very misleading & insulting headline. There are over 850k Welsh speakers in Wales for starters with 110k in England plus more elsewhere in the world, such as 5K in Argentina. A crap newspaper degrades the oldest LIVING BRITISH language - good one 🙄💩

Do you speak English? Your tweet suggests that you struggle with the basics. Don't tell Boris 😂

When your job is based around writing articles yet you can’t even finish a sentence. Well done 👍🏻

That should be an inspirational story you bunch of patronising gits. Learning a language is never a waste of time. Any language. It broadens the mind and makes the speaker culturally richer. Bilingualism is the norm in this world.

Mi fedra hi siarad efo fi. Mae'n edrych fel bod eich gwybodaeth o'r Unol Daleithiau mor ddrwg â eich gwybodaeth o'r Gymraeg.

A great example to those who live in Wales yet continually raise paranoid issues about Welsh people talking about them (🙄) If it's possible to learn a language from scratch in complete isolation then it's more than possible to learn a language within its own setting Cymraeg

Football fans spend 30 years being labelled murderers only to be mugged off with a pathetic forced apology three decades too late.

Ergh your vile.

1). Incorrect 2). Maybe you should encourage more people to learn Welsh, instead of making fun of someone who has 3). You are a crap newspaper

Just.... Wow... Unwaith eto mae'r papur yn siarad ddwli. This woman has done something inspirational, why knock her efforts out of spite & ignorance? Ych a fi

There's 500,000 people who speak Welsh and growing, this is a shit excuse for journalism.

Congrats grdnlyb! What an amazing achievement! Wish I spoke it myself. Studied for a bit with SSIW but dropped it after a few months. Congrats on the shitty headline and tweet. Your social media people must be right £$¥%s

That's funny. I chat to her (in Welsh of course).

Imagine go g to college, university, freelancing for a bit to get a job as a journalist and then writing shit like this

Baramenyn

The headline is a flabby attempt by thesun to twist grdnlyb ‘s words and experience by omission. And, by the way, there are Welsh speakers in the US and around the world. We have a monthly meeting of them here in Washington, DC.

She can start an American Welsh talk internet radio show see if people anybody tunes in 👍🏿

I had a conversation in Welsh for a couple of hours in a pub in Charleston SC USA a couple of weeks ago; and speak with my mate in Asheville NC on an almost daily basis in Welsh. There might not be many Welsh speakers in the US, but we do exist.

But this is genuinely really sweet, though. The S*n can do one.

'... in the US' No shit Sun.

Yes. It's utterly hilarious that so few people in Wales speak Welsh. That's because it was beaten out of us by the English. Thanks very much for that.

yaki daa.

What a shameful, hateful headline.

40 likes , 85 comments. Sun is slowly dying & the degenerates there will have to give their CV to their next employer. I wouldn’t even read past C.V.

Another rag of an article from The S*n, what do you expect.

Any chance of compensation Worth looking into

This story fits your xenophobic attitude. dontbuythesun

Count these three sheep boyo

People at the Sun ain't that bright at maths ...... how can they say that 'no one speaks it' yet there are over 600,000 + that do? The Sun can fuck off with their bullshit, they barley have a fucking grasp on English Ffs😂

Nobody 'struggled to understand her'. How did you write that? She didn't say that at all. They said she sounded fluent, but that they couldn't place whether she had a north-Walian or American accent. How on earth does that translate to people 'struggling to understand her'?

'American woman spends eight years learning Welsh only to discover she’s got nobody to talk'? Quality writing!!!

Fake news.

Can you imagine raising a child, nurturing them, getting through the hard times, putting them before yourself at all times and then having them grow up to become a writer for The Sun? It doesn't even bear thinking about.

She should travel to wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I had some wonderful childhood memories there like snowdonia and in Abergavenny

Defend this please. Justify. Be grown up and explain.

She speaks at least two languages, you can barely grasp one you sickening little quasi-fascist haterag.

That headline is incredibly unfair and misleading. The sneering at the Welsh language is profoundly arrogant as well as ignorant

Only 900,000 people. Scum.

Having a go at someone for learning a second language when you can't even write a full sentence in your one and only language! 🤣😂

If you speak three languages you’re trilingual. If you speak two languages you’re bilingual. What are you if you only speak one language? English. Shitrag.

Delete the article.

So a woman has put a lot of time and dedication to learning something new and you take a jab at her? And on top of that Welsh has hundreds of thousands of speakers so what your saying isn't even true. Absolutely shite 'journalism'. dontbuythesun

Bolloxs

She should move to Wales! Lots of people speak Welsh here

blah, blah, blah.

Good on her! No mean feat learning one of the oldest languages in the world. In contrast, it appears people at the sun struggle with their first language sentence structure, let alone any other.

PLEASE, DO NOT BUY THIS LYING SHITRAG! It hates Wales, hates our language, hates that you are different!

Hi Debbie. I read your article but it doesn't make much sense. If Geordan's got nobody to talk to, who are all these people that you say she can converse with on the Internet? Perhaps you mean her more than 1900 followers on Twitter? Them?

If you really care anything at all for Cymru, for your nation, you will stop buying this lying shitrag that demeans us at every opportunity! Cuts the wings off a butterfly, to laugh because it can’t fly!!

Sun executives spend years hacking phones, only to find people ordering takeaway.

Bit similar to our Parliament BBC Station broadcasting Welsh and Scottish Assemblies!

Not bought this 💩 rag since the early 80s.

Bydda i’n siarad efo hi.

other than the hundreds of thousands of people online you shitrag

I sincerely hope that whoever has written the headline for this gets reprimanded for pulling the old 'no one speaks it/dead language' card. The article isn't awful but it's undone by the shitty headline. Have a think before you insult the language with trash statements like that

Your papers not even worth shitting into. Vile publication. Cancerous entity.

Newspaper lies about 96 dead people only to find nobody buys their propaganda rag

Twll

What about all the people that your readers swear blind switch to welsh when an English tourist enters the pub?

Ever wonder why the rest of the UK wants to distance themselves from the English?

This is a disgraceful headline and article. Implying that she's an idiot when she's far from it. Learning another language should be celebrated, not mocked. Absolute scumbag paper.

'Sun social media executive spends years learning English, only to discover they can't sentence'.

WTF

That’s the only thing you got from the story? Scum

A little research may have saved her right years of hard work learning unspoken language, imo
