I know, I'm sure you're shocked with my signs today 😄😄.
I found these adverts for the Wall Street Institute in Lisbon last year, but if you could read Portuguese, you would know that even though at first the signs attract your attention because they could very well spell swear words, it's nothing of the sort...
They are in fact very clever advertising I think.
For more signs from across the world please follow this link.
This first one says : "If you don't known English, you can screw up" and if you look closely there is a spirit glass on the right bottom corner and it says "shot".
Bottom right says "Obscene is the price (of lessons) being so low".
This second one says : "If you don't known English, you can screw up" and if you look closely there is a "fork" on the right bottom corner.
Good ones!
ReplyDeleteThanks William.

ReplyDeleteé mesmo Pedro! LOL
DeleteUm mimo!!
ReplyDeleteObrigada Catarina :)
DeleteVery good ones. I know a lot of people here who "screw up".
ReplyDeleteSome only learn English at school for 6 years, say 2-3 times a week and since all movies etc are translated to German they certainly forget it all very soon.
99% is German teachers, too, whose English rather is kinda German. To them correct grammar is #1.
I luckily had a great British teacher for many years.
We could really need those signs here, too!
Do you get subtitles or translations in Portugal?
Thanks Iris. All movies on TV and cinema have subtitles, reason why so many people speak English well.
DeleteHumor nacional, que funciona! :-)
