It makes me sad that nearly all continental Europeans use American English instead of proper British English

Australian men are knuckle dragging neanderthals

>Talking to a Dutch lad on Battlefield 3
>He keeps calling calling me bro and saying everything is awesome or trash
>He speaks with a fake American accent
>He can't understand my accent
>He says my English skills "fucking suck dude"
>He starts playing yank nigger music down his mic
>I ask him to stop, he doesn't understand me
>"really bro you're fucking shit at English"
>Music gets louder, mic quality worsens
>He starts rapping along with the lyrics
>Every time I try to talk to him he says he can't understand me

Our language has been hijacked by North American charlatans and our precious continentals have been corrupted

t. Abo of europe

the propaganda of the sexy mysterious british man only works with retarded yanks
continentals are usually more educated about the real britain and realise the average englishman isn't a harry potter charachter

Im from nz, jens

it makes sense, american english is basically the continental re-imagining of english
they say so many things incorrectly by trying to stick to phonetics like buoy they actually say "boo-ee"
british english is for anglos, americans aren't anglo

Explains your butthurt

>american english is basically the continental re-imagining of english
from a german perspective maybe
but one of the main differences between british and american english is the french spellings and the letter U but even the french themselves use american english

>try British english
>voice sounds like a virgin Michael Caine

No thanks
I like that Scottish English gentleman accent though. Like that gentleman guy from Venture brös if I'm not incorrect

I actually learnt proper British English and even studied in England, so I write shit like “a photo” and “a queue” etc., but over the time alongside the constant exposure to American media, I started to use dumbed-down American English more in fear of coming off as pretentious.

"a photo"? Wow I've never heard that expression before. What does it mean in American?

Doesn't change the fact swedes have shitty taste

correct me i'm from wrong but isn't british english mostly taught in russian schools over american english?
you're one of the exceptions to the rule

Its only shitty if you live with an inferiority complex

I was going to reply to this but then I thought better of it.

what is the name of the language you speak?
yeah, exactly. be quiet.

What they teach in Russian schools is the one weird synthetic loosely English-based dialect invented in USSR. Not kidding.

No it's just generally shitty

COPE

he's right with regional accents though
i have a brummie accent but live in london, when i speak to foreigners they sometimes have trouble understanding what i'm saying even though speak good english lmao
i have to slow down and think about my language and try to avoid language

based swede, honourary australian

but it's still closer to british english although it's probably because of cold war butthurt
and even though you don't like britain either, i think russians have a bit of respect for us deep down and see us 'slightly better than yanks'

Nae worries lad oi oi. Could go for a wee Greggs I could.

ANGLOS BEING MUTTED

We get British English in schools. But the Dutch accent is closer to the American accent, we mostly get American English in the media and British people tend to swallow letters turning words into gibberish, so its an uphill battle.

AE: I'm writing you this letter.

GERMANIZED

your country is our closest friend on the continent culture wise, we have more in common than most people realise

Sie schreibt mir

You guys should be lucky that there is so much mutual intelligibility between the different English varieties. Some new world variants are simply incomprehensible to speakers of the original European languages.

wow!! the english language has germanic influences?????? really?!??!?!??!?

the american word order is more german, likely owing to the fact the midwest spoke german until very recently

Pretty soon y'all share the same fate of Canadian English. Everyone say it with me: MOMMY!

American mutts fucked up transitivity of some verbs.

no it fucking isn't. german word order is totally different. and only some communities in the midwest spoke german. english was always the main language and the language of government. why do morons like you feel the need to spread your idiotic shite?

Fuck off is it...it sounds like fucking Welsh elf speak.

It is based on British English, slightly archaic one, sorry I forgot to add that.

I doubt about respect to modern UK, but we sure have to historical England, specially of XIX, thanks to great Holmes movies of soviet era.

canadian english? hol up, so you be sayin they have their own version of english n shiet?

Nah there were large pockets of German speaking areas near me until the 70s. Mass was in German around here until the 70s and so was some of the government. I don't know about the other parts of the Midwest.

>american english

ummm.... sweatie it's called english

bit aggressive lad. just confronting the simple truth american english evolved from non-anglo immigrants butchering the language, hence why they pronounce lieutenant as lootenant rather than leftenant.

> and only some communities in the midwest spoke german.

There were entire stretches of land, regions and cities that were completely operating in German, with their German newspapers and parishes. Even public schools used to have classes entirely in German before WW1. If it wasn't for the wars we would have German-speaking states in the US like Canada has French-speaking ones.

literally this

i never said otherwise. but if you think the general statement "the midwest spoke german" was ever true you are retarded

languages evolve you autistic retard. especially with something as significant as the colonisation of a new continent. you are probably butchering the language according to a 19th century RP speaker. and the amount of american english used in the uk today is silly. get over it flag autist.

's arite lad. Let's have us a cheeky Frosty Jacks sometime. Brexit means Brexit, Poles out.

>brits sound silly
>but aussies sound amazing
that's just silly, there's not even a big difference
it's not the accent you're talking about but the different perception your country has of brits and aussies

i could easily fake an aussie accent that would a dane or swede, a real aussie would know it's fake but a scandinavian would

I stick to British English because the rhotic R is more alien to us and for non-native speakers it's hard to get it right.

scots are cancer

>British English simply sounds gay desu

I disagree. It sounds sophisticated. Watch The Crown or the original House of Cards on Netflix, British English sounds noble af when it's not a chav.

you can tell this really happened

baed
you're a rarity though

the midwest did speak german at one point though, and american english is the direct result of immigrants, this is indisputable. just as cockney has evolved into multicultural london english as a result of afro-caribbean influence, american english evolved into what it has due to german and other european migrants.

you seem very touchy over this, why instantly resort to shitflinging and insults?

i'm not him but that story doesn't sound fake in the slightest
most europeans DO speak american english and i'm going to assume that poster has a strong northern accent or any other random niche british accent

we have loads of different accents that you will never hear in British TV or film and sometimes use lots of local slang without, some foreigners do struggle to understand even if they speak good English

I thought you use “foto” for some reason, I must be wrong.

Yeah, as the other rusanon already said, they teach some weird English in Russian schools and the standards are subpar, also it’s true that they try hard to emulate British English, for example they emphasized teaching all 12 tenses or whatever, I remember spending a good amount of some grade learning them every lesson. I think poor English classes is a political and cultural decision, originally from Soviet times, so our people wouldn’t be exposed to foreign ideas too much and think too much about immigration. Personally I was just fortunate enough to study English abroad, it all went to shit though, because there are no foreigners in Russia, therefore no practice.

>Brexit means Brexit, Poles out.
exactly lad
if the EU stayed like it was in 1995 then i would have been a strong remainer, we have lots in common with holland and western/northern europe

but at the end of the day, we have fuck all in common with poland, romania or bulgaria
i feel no shared connection with those creatures

>I thought you use “foto” for some reason,

no, we don't, it's "photo" in the US.

pretty sure foto is some type of spanish nonsense.

do you reckon an australian would have a better shot understanding some of the slang and accents or are we just as fucked as americans and continentals?

i dont like the uk

youre a bunch of pecker heads

it really does seem like argies are pseudo anglophiles

In Dutch we tend to end our words abruptly. And many letters are pronounced really flat in a single tone (although we do insert J's everywhere according to Belgians). While the bongs make letters flow over multiple tones and make words sound more rounded, which would take effort and mouth gymnastics.

And considering Dutch people already speak slowly and clearly by default there is no incentive for people to work on their pronunciation.

Economy OUT.

What's the matter mate? Woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Come on you can tell me.

yeah but although you see us and USA as a united enemy as we will always ally against you, i still feel like russia has some marginal respect for britain and '''''''hate us less''''''''' than america

honestly it's said that the skirpal poisoning thing happened because otherwise the threat of a UK-Russian alliance against the EU could have legitimately gave us a stronger negotiation tactic in the brexit deal but that's dead in the water

I went on an exchange programme to Denmark in my teens. The girl I was staying with was doing two types of English lesson, one was the mandatory one everybody does and the other was a more advanced literature based one called "Oxford English" or something like that with books to read. She showed me an essay she had written and every single "correction" her teacher made was to "correct" her proper English grammar to an Americanism. She got me to write an explanation of this to BTFO her teacher with. She was 17 at the time and her written English was better than 50% of Brits.

Learned british english in school, the murcans fuck it up with their me die though.

most definitely yeah because a lot of the niche slangwords are similar to aussie ones really
aussies are on the same wavelength as us unlike yanks so you can often work it out

like even if i hear some bizzare aussie bogan speak with random slang words i'm not familiar with, i can often work it out using the context

So everybody in the Netherlands speaks in uniform? No accents?

I don't mind the ones here staying at all. We just need to rebalance our infrastructure instead of having another million, then another, then another.

We are.
I agree. Argentina was at its best when britain ruled the waves, but the old oligarchy was destroyed by pseudo fascist leaders.

We even had a strong political argument back then between the germanophiles and the anglophiles.

Your government pushed the East inclusions, fuck you.

I think we hate UK, but we never hated US. Americans are friends and it is nice to compete with them, the globalist elites is the enemy.

>whatever happens with her brexit deal
LOL that's absolute nonsense, they can stay with her deal but they're fucked with no deal

her deal will never get voted through parliament but in true british style they've all fucked off on their christmas holidays leaving it all up in arms even though the failure of the proposed deal is pretty much inevitable

Aussies understand us much better, because you have a similar sense of humour. They struggle with some of the stronger accents like Geordie and Belfast/Derry if they don't live around them though.
