Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, ilɛksɛf yu yɔŋ ɔ yu sabi aw fɔ du am, yu bren de tray tranga wan fɔ du tu wok dɛn wan tɛm wit yu ɔl di atɛnshɔn . Tink bɔt dis: we yu de tayp tɛks, yu de tink bɔt di tin dɛn we de insay, wach yu finga dɛn we de muv akɔdin to di kipad, ɛn rid mɛsej dɛn we de kam. We yu de du ɔl dis, yu nɔ kin no bɔt di tin dɛn we de arawnd yu ɛn yu sef kin rili stɔp.
