kiwi dialect is unintelligible
I cannot understand jamaican english
1. Yes because America is the cultural superpower and people learn English from American entertainment,
2. I have the EXACT same skinnyfat body as the lad on the left.
fuck off mapuche
That's just fat
Right is skinnyfat
neither can we
it depends on which English accent they are more familiar with. If someone only learned British English and more familiar with British accents, he would find British English easier and vice versa.
But to Korean ears, American English would be clearer and more intelligible.
not technically english.
calm down i didn't mean to offend
now do the haka for me, sirocco :)
Why can't you understand other dialects.
I can understand even scouse. In the end it's just the same language
Its clear because you shit out more media than anybody else. And because you talk really slowly.
Not true, Europeans learn British English in school but they consume nothing but American media so they can only really understand American dialects/accent and basic British dialects. If someone with a Glasgow accent speaks to a random Norwegian or Dutch person they won't have a clue what is going on.
American english is the best. aus-nz-uk english makes me want to throw up.
we are mapuche,the cutest ethnicity
Mapuche are kinda ugly but they are nice so I guess that can considered cute in a way
Americans all sound the same, so that helps
British accents are dying out too, I read an article about how it happens. It is due to people moving a lot more so the really strong regional accents get replaced with a really common 'rootless' kind of accent' In the UK John Oliver has the exact kind of accent that is taking over. Literally could be from anywhere.
lol I have a southern accent and there’s no way you think it sounds the same as a New Jersey accent
That’s like saying a London received accent sounds the same as Scottish
How the fuck does a redneck sound like a Californian
isn't it because they never learn English in Glasgow dialect? I think if Europeans learn English, they would learn it in standard British English, e. g. BBC English. If they hear someone speak in cockney accent, I dont think they would.have much trouble following what he's saying.
I practice them sometimes.
Sorry I don't think I expressed myself properly (It's 6am and I've been up all night) American media dominates the world most people that can speak English can understand most American dialects and accents because they have heard them so often in films, tv, videogames etc. now most people will be able to understand the more popular British accents estuary, cockney, generic northern (the accent of the norf in game of thrones) again because they have experienced it already in Media but the less common accents/dialects will be harder to understand due to lack of exposure.
Now I as a British person despite never been to Glasgow or Newcastle can understand those weird accents because since I was a child I have heard people on TV speaking with them. British media, unlike American media simply doesn't have that massive reach like American media so people won't be used to them and will finder them harder to understand.
Maybe a deep south accent sounds different enough, but basically the rest of the states sounds the same. It's also not like we're going to be seeing much of the deep south accent over here. I've talked to people from a variety of different states California, Denver, Philadelphia, and it seems like everyone from the city speaks the same.
good post
You sound like Russian speaking English.

Your default accent is so fucking Californian it makes my ear bleed. Stop doing the cute pitch thing that they do at the end of every sentence.
Trying to branch out.
You're really good man, are your fellow countrymen jealous?
