About “English as She Is Spoke”
O novo guia da conversacao em portuguez e inglez, commonly known as English as She Is Spoke, is an 1855 book written by Pedro Carolino, with some editions crediting Jose da Fonseca as co-author. It was intended as a Portuguese-English conversational guide book or phrase book, but is today regarded as a classic source of unintentional humour in translation because its translations are usually inaccurate or unidiomatic.
