About this listen

When someone compliments you, the usual response is gratitude and kind words in return. Not so with Mark Twain. When told that he spoke English very well Twain indicated he didn't speak English at all. He spoke American. This short story allows Twain the opportunity to explain the differences. As usual humor walks with Twain as he shares his thoughts. Narrated by Glenn Hascall.
