If you follow us on Facebook<\/a> or Twitter<\/a>, you’ll know that last week uTalk<\/a> became the world’s first Cockney language learning app! The traditional East London rhyming slang was launched at G Kelly pie shop on the Roman Road by the Pearly King of Forest Gate and Pearly Queen of Old Kent Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pearly King and Queen learned how to use the app, and were impressed!

Some children from Olga Primary School popped in to put the uTalk app to the test. They had fun playing the games and were keen to show our chairman Dick what they’d learnt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we finished with a good old-fashioned East End knees up, led by our Pearly King and Queen, pianist Mick Yarrow and the voice of uTalk Cockney, Patrick Mackervaie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
