Berlitz

Someone I know lost his phone, so we made a deal: I'd replace it if he taught me something in Liberian English each day.

One morning:

Me: How are you?

T: You fail already.

Me: Fail how?

T: Start with Good Morning.

Me: It sounds too formal.

T: You can't skip it.

Me: Good morning. How are you?

T: Fine. What you want to know today?

Me: How do you compliment someone's clothing?

T: You say, "Where you sew you shirt from?"

I'm nice with languages but this one...this one is testing me. Observe: http://tinyurl.com/A-to-Z-Liberia. I think it's because I can't think of it as its own language and not, you know, English. Because why would I call a cartoon a muppet show? That is never going to happen. I'm on the verge of giving up speech entirely.
