Great advert for Malta as a TEFL destination, as the man who uploaded this on Facebook appears to imply.
That lady spoke Polish and what she said was “I don’t understand” but the “journalist” kept on blabbing away instead of politely commenting that her “catch” probably didn’t speak English…
Hilarious! Something similar happened to the awful Kay Burley (Sky News) as she was bouncing around outside the hospital interviewing people, moments after Prince George was born last year. That was hilarious too.
Classical, could not stop laughing. She’s a gem.

Here. Here.
Err. I mean, hear, hear.
Was Norma Saliba interviewing people on All Soul’s day? If ‘Taghna Lkoll’ means the very small few dozens who were ate St George’s Square last 4 April, then ‘Taghna Lkoll’ is indeed an extraordinary gimmick.
The foreign lady replied : Polka ne razumyeyu’ – I am Polish, I do not understand.
Nie rozumiem.
I speak Russian not Polish, I guess the fist person singular in Polish ends in -iem not -yu, like in Russian.
Interesting language evolution there. In Russian, your phrase would mean “I do not mean”. In Belarusan, however, it’s “I do not understand”, just like Polish.
I noticed the square empty, I thought maybe the police blocked if off from the general public, I thought it was by invite only maybe.
Will she now claim ownership of Manwel’s Faberge Eggs I wonder?
President will be ‘elected’? By an empty square?
She says: I do not understand i.e. I do not understand the language. This guy made an advert out of her.
How on earth do people with this abysmal level of spoken English get employed by the national broadcaster?
[Daphne – She shares a bed with Manuel Micallef of the Labour Party and Super One TV, and has a child by him. http://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/09/tvm-taghna-ukoll/%5D
PBS already had among its employees linguistically-challenged presenters and newscasters but now they are surpassing themselves — a no mean feat.
As a listener to Campus FM, a radio station run by the University of Malta, I’m also not impressed by the linguistic prowess of most of the academic staff who present programmes on that station.

The look of the Polka at 0:31 – PRICELESS
Through this I discovered that Malta elects a president.
By the way – who is the presenter?
Priceless
“hope you will like the sermeneee”- tajba wisq. As though the ceremony was held for tourists to “like”. What a shallow question.
