Interviewer:  okay okay um If you wanted to find out you know the correct way to say something how would you find out would you listen to people around you or would you would you go look it up in a dictionary or would you ask an English teacher or what would you do?
888:  Well I would look it up in the dictionary or I'd find it I was going to school and I had an English teacher I would have asked her.
Interviewer:  {NW} Okay what do you think about asking people around you or I mean just listening to what people around you are saying?
888:  well I they can help too a little bit but sometimes people around you don't know and you gotta ask somebody that has an education.
Interviewer:  {NW}
888:  And you know and put something into school.
Interviewer:  {NW} um Do you do you think uh do you think you talk different to different people?
888:  No I don't I talk the the you know the same way I always talk and words the way words come out that's the way I talk.
Interviewer:  {NW} What I see I'm thinking like when you talk do you do you talk um different to you like your mother than you would talk to oh say your friends?
888:  Yes I'll talk I talk different from from you know from what I would talk to my friends because some of the things I would tell my mother you know it would be more respectful than I would tell my friends.
Interviewer:  {NW} What for? What do you mean?
888:  What do I mean?
Interviewer:  {NW}
888:  Well something like you know that a grown-up you know that you don't want to hear you don't want to say it because it may not be nice to hear from a grown up I mean to hear for with a grown-up want to hear, so I would say something you know that that you know uptight if I were to say it around my mother so I would keep it to myself and tell my friend because me and him is friends and she's an adult.
Interviewer:  {NW} well um what about not so much what you talk about but just sort of the way you'd say something?
888:  {NW}
Interviewer:  Do you know if that if that'd be different when you talk to your mother from the way you talk to your friends?
888:  Well I have more respect for my mother and for my friend you don't you know your friend know that you have respect for him but the things you say you know that don't mean you don't have respect for him but some of the things you say you know that you know like I would say something like this I you know I tell my mother that I might be coming in about 12 o-clock. and I tell my friend I say I might come we might come in about 2 o clock so that's something that you don't want your mother to hear.
Interviewer:  #1 Yeah #
888:  #2 {NW} # #1 right #
Interviewer:  #2 right # {NW}
888:  Yeah. That's what I mean you know
Interviewer:  uh what about um you think you talk different to people that you don't know as well you know like a stranger say a new kid at school? #1 Do you talk different to somebody like that than you do for #
888:  #2 {NW} #
Interviewer:  somebody to somebody that's good friends?
888:  yes I would I would talk different because I would you know {NW} you know I would #1 try to be myself #
Interviewer:  #2 wait # okay now what?
888:  I would talk differently between a person that I didn't know because a friend the dude that I didn't know you know might don't have the same attitude that I have
Interviewer:  Yeah
888:  so I would you know take it I would come up to him and say my name you know get introduced to each other and you know be you be a friend and nothing else don't try to show yourself off to him.
Interviewer:  #1 Yeah #
888:  #2 because # that's what nobody you know nobody wants a show off friend to try to show off you know? you just go your usual way and have respect for your first when you first meet him. After you met him and took some you know got to know each other and you had a dinner together or you know really had a good down talk good rap session or something like that then that's the way you know you'll have a talk and you want to say anything that you could say anything you want to then.
Interviewer:  Yeah.
888:  But don't try to go and {NW} impress your friend by trying to get in from your friend. that's what I mean but I would talk different because I would show him that I have you know respect for him by meeting him. I wouldn't show off or nothing.
Interviewer:  {NW} okay. um What do you think about the way they teach English in school I mean um do you do you think that you talk you know the way that they teach English? Or not?
888:  No I don't I don't talk the way they teach English because one reason you know I just got my same you know same you know speech pattern because you know even some people can change it and some can't. I might say a few words that's not right for English but that's the way I pronounce them you know and I try to change in ways and habit I can change it you know but you know sometimes I just can't change it.
Interviewer:  Yeah.
888:  Like I might say uh he did this you know that's not somebody might say that's not how you you know you shouldn't say that because that's not the right English you're supposed to say.
Interviewer:  {NW}
888:  And they might say who's your English teacher you know or you know you just tell them you know you got an English teacher but your English teacher she's trying to give you an education but that don't mean you know she you know go wrong sometimes. You know everybody makes mistakes you know saying something.
Interviewer:  Yeah well do uh tell me this what about the English teacher do you think do you think she makes mistakes?
888:  Yes she makes mistakes but the mistakes she makes {NW} costs her because she's getting paid for it but the children when the children tell her that you know it's gonna it might hurt her but you know because she done had her education and we're trying to get our education.
Interviewer:  {NW}
888:  and I wouldn't say I don't see too many teachers making them mistakes because they had you know they know what to say and stuff. #1 And they #
Interviewer:  #2 Yeah #
888:  had speech patterns how to say things
Interviewer:  have you had black English teachers or white English teachers? Or both?
888:  Well uh have I ever heard have I had a ever had a black English teacher?
Interviewer:  {NW}
888:  No I never had a black English teacher.
Interviewer:  They were all white?
888:  uh some white and some Mexican.
Interviewer:  {NW} tell me okay between the white ones and the Mexican uh are they different? Do they kind of you know they sort of teach different ways?
888:  #1 uh they do #
Interviewer:  #2 the Mexican? #
888:  they do teach different I had an English teacher this year and she didn't never try to you know she didn't we didn't really go over English you know we went over English but she didn't try to teach you how to talk because some of the words they don't pronounce you know they don't try to learn you how to talk in English they try to you know give you work in English to in book work you know they don't never learn you how to talk you know they just tell you how to tell you what to do in lessons and stuff like that. And the teacher I did have this year I didn't dig her too much because you know if you try in school people should you know you don't want nothing given to you but they should at least pass you because you tried.
Interviewer:  Yeah.
888:  And this teacher she wouldn't you know she'll fail a lot of people cause she didn't like I guess I don't know I guess she's prejudice or something.
Interviewer:  Yeah.
888:  And that's all I can say.
Interviewer:  Was she white?

Interviewer:  #2 {X} #
