AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums The Cayes Ambergris Caye Need for English speaking Radio on Ambergris Cay

I have always felt we need an english radio station for those of us who are language challenged.

We can call it Gringo Radio. Piggy back Reef Radio to keep the island informed.

However, Reef Radio has almost exclusivly local advertisers who target locals. The locals on this island were blessed with learning 'LANGUAGE' not 'A' language. Most speak English, Spanish, and Creole and pass betwen them seemingly with no effort.

Finding a market for listeners will be easy. Finding advertisers who feel they are not already reaching that market may be a problem.

Well, we could get pug to stand at the city park and be the Crowns Towne Crier once every 6 hours. Or, maybe Peter.
OOH! Or , now that could be interesting, don'tcha think? Imagine all the embellishment.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye....screw you Champion

If you care to hear English spoken beautifully, converse with Collette...she'll call you a wanker, and you will feel honored


A concept I am trying to get my dive crew to understand!

When I come down to SP I always have a couple of "classics" such as Treasure Island, or Moby Dick on my E reader. In a house up north with no TV, it is an easy way to pass an evening reading out loud, and in turn having my friends read a chapter or 2, also out loud, to become more used to hearing themselves speak English.

I had noticed that when filling in the applications for Guide licenses, if I gave them a word, they would almost always spell it and write it correctly, yet seemed self conscious about speaking in anything other than Creole.

The better able anyone is to speak the language of those who are dispersing most of the currency, the more likelihood there is of getting a larger share of it!

Just the market speaking, and why many of us in the US should be learning Mandarin

Your sense of self-awareness is as keen as ever!!

LOL! Good point to follow the money, Pug... Mandarin it is!

Do we need a Mandarin Radio Station for the Chinese Community?
At least they have already there own Chinese Newspaper.

But for us Gringos and Belizeans:

Finding a market for English listeners with caribbean and pop music will be easy.

All the advertising is already in English, but on a Spanish Radio Station.

I bet many Business owner like to place Ads on a English channel, otherwise he will do his ads in Spanish.
