Funnily enough, this is actually a real book, created by real publishers. English as She is Spoke was written by a Portuguese man in the nineteenth century as an attempt at a Portuguese-English phrase book, despite the fact that the author, Pedro Carolino, had never heard English or traveled to an English speaking country. He did it by rote translation from Portuguese-English dictionaries and countless hours spent writing sheer and utter nonsense. Futility Closet did a podcast on it, and it includes several excerpts from the book, many of which make no sense at all. https://www.futilitycloset.com/2015/05/18/podcast-episode-58-english-as-she-is-spoke/ The Wikipedia article also has some info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_As_She_Is_Spoke
