TEACHING PITTSBURGH-EES

If we get approved to go to China, you may eventually run into a Chinese person here in the States that uses phrases like:

• younz
• buggy (instead of cart)
• red-up-the-house
• Mum (instead of Mom)
• Worshington
• crick (instead of creek)
• Gian Iggle
• Wush (instead of wash)
• rastle (instead of wrestle)
• Stillers (instead of Steelers)
• spicket (instead of faucet)
• dahntahn (instead of downtown)

We hereby vow to do our very best to produce Pittsburgh-ees speaking students who will turn heads everywhere they go and create perplexed looks as people try to figure out how a person from China could have such a strong Pittsburgh way of speaking!  We also vow to grow the Steeler Nation and transplant it to the best of our ability in Guiyang, China - our possible home for the next year.
