The Best Collection Of Language Jokes
13 posts
Welcome to our Language jokes collection.
Ah the joys of different languages! Don’t you love the way that people speak differently, spell and pronounce things wrong and mess up the syntax and semantics when they say things.
This is a collection of jokes and funny stories about language, speech and the way people talk, which we hope you enjoy. If you enjoy these jokes, you mustn’t miss our collection of Accent Jokes.
Of course we have nothing against foreigners, people who speak a different language or have a strong accent, but these do provide great ammunition for creating some really funny jokes. Never forget that just as others may be foreigners to us, we are also foreigners to them.

This is taken from a competition in a newspaper, in which it was proposed that English should have male and female nouns. Readers were asked to assign a gender to nouns of their choice and to explain their reasoning. These were the best submissions and very clever too in our […]
Tongue Twisters are perfect for the holidays and will keep the family, adults as well as the kids busy and laughing for ages. In case you haven’t heard of tongue twisters and don’t know what they are, they are words or phrases that are just hard to say, especially if […]
This is a quick lesson in learning Chinese, which should hopefully prove invaluable for you if you are a Westerner like me and the first hurdle is the fact that you can’t even read the characters, let alone pronounce them. For many of us whose native language is English, even […]
Shakespeare was as we all know a very clever playright and poet, but what many people are not aware of is that he also had a real fancy way with words. Some of Shakespeare’s letters and works contain quotes that use some flowery Tudor vocabulary, which doesn’t make for easy […]
I bet you don’t know the origin of the “S” word. You know, the word that is banned from television and radio in the USA, but which is commonplace in just about every other country in the world, where they aren’t so prudish. The “S” word! Another name for Poop! […]
You know what I find funny? Not so innocent words. Sometimes, the words that come innocently out of our mouths take on a not so innocent meaning of their own without you realising, until you see the reaction of thos who heard them and the embarrassement sets in. For example, […]
Have you ever wondered why the English language is so complicated? So many words that look similar are pronounced differently, and at the same time, many words that are spelled differently are pronounced the same. The reality is that over several millennia, the English language that we know today has […]
This is an English lesson on the words “Complete” and “Finished”. Fact is, no English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between the words COMPLETE and FINISHED. However, in a recent linguistic conference held in London, England and attended by some of the best linguists in the […]
Have you ever stopped to wonder what gender a computer is? Well, one day a language instructor was explaining to her class that French nouns, unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine. Things like “chalk” or “pencil,” she described, would have a gender association. For example: […]
The new word for today is: FANQUEVALLEMUD This is an amazing new word, and you will easily understand the meaning of this word and how to use it by the end of the following conversation. I recommend that you read this aloud for best results. Actually, just read it out […]
