Recommended reading for the travelling linguaphile

Are you a traveling linguaphile? Many of us that are drawn to travel are also drawn to the study of different languages. Moreover, the seductive accents and quirky slang terms found within our own mother tongue can be endlessly intriguing.

If you can’t leave language alone, Adam Jacob de Boinod’s book The Wonder of Whiffling is certainly for you. The book is a tour of English around the globe. You’ll learn terms for a myriad of random and hysterical things, places, and situations.

Have you told your American friends that you really want to go out and giver this Saturday night? Have you complained that it’s so bloody hot in here? Or told them that your upstairs neighbour is so bloody wide? Have they told you to stop being such a whinger?

The book is bound to have you chortling and winnicking like crazy, and I’m not chippie-burdie-ing you!

After months of travel, if you think you might be crambazzled, ditch your shot-clog and take a break to give de Boinod’s book a read.
