6-Nate English.

From BBC Learning English.

Hello, this is 6-Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Sam.

And I'm Neil. How are you today, Sam?

Thanks for asking, Neil. I'm fine. Not.

Sorry, so are you fine or not?

Oh, did I confuse you? My bad.

Ah, Sam is speaking English just a very modern type of English.

For example, saying,

my bad instead of my fault as a way of accepting that she's wrong.

Or adding not at the end of a sentence to show,

I really mean the opposite of what I said.

Both are examples of small changes in English,

which have happened naturally over the last decade or two.

Changes like these happen because, unlike, say, Latin,

which no one speaks day to day,

English is a living language.

A language people speak and use in their ordinary lives.

New bits of English are invented as people use the language

in new ways.

But what happens when a language comes from an entirely different galaxy?

Somewhere like Kronos, home planet of the Klingon.
