How does it feel knowing that most of the English-speaking world knows your language better than you do?

I'm pretty sure there's more countries than this with English as an official language.

Qu'est-ce que tu viens juste de dire sur moi petite salope ? je te ferais savoir que je suis sorti premier de ma classe dans la légion étrangère, et j'ai participé à de nombreuses attaques surprises contre Al-Quaeda, j'ai plus de 300 victimes confirmées. Je suis entrainé aux tactiques de gorilla et je suis le meilleur sniper de toutes les forces armées françaises. Tu n'es rien de plus qu'une autre cible. Je te ferais disparaitre de cette putain de planète avec une précision jamais-vue auparavant, souviens-toi de mes putains de paroles. Tu peux pense que tu peux t'en sortir après avoir dit de la merde sur moi sur Internet? Réfléchis-bien, enculé. Au moment où nous parlons je contacte mon réseau d'espions à travers le globe et ton IP se fait tracer en ce moment même alors prépare toi à la tempête, vermine. La tempête qui va balayer cette pathétique petite chose que tu appelles ta vie. T'es putain de mort gamin. Je peux être n'importe où, n'importe quand, et je peux te tuer de plus de sept-cent manières, et cela juste à mains nues. Je suis non seulement très entrainé au combat à main nue, mais j'ai aussi accès à l'arsenal entier de l'Armée de Terre de la République et je l'utiliserai à son maximum pour rayer ton petit cul du continent, espèce de petite merde. Si seulement tu avais su la vengeance impie qui t'attendait grâce à ton petit commentaire "malin", peut être tu aurais fermé ta gueule. Mais tu ne l'a pas fait, non tu ne l'a pas fait, et maintenant tu en paye le prix, putain d'abruti. Je vais te chier dessus jusqu'à ce que tu te noies dedans.

T'es putain de mort, gamin.

Mutt pls, it's their lingua franca

You know how to type correct grammar and syntax but you don't know the subtleties of English and you never will. Nor will the most well spoken, preening Scandinavian who can recite the depths of the concise Oxford dictionary be able to have a proper conversation with an Englishman.

think india does too but indian """""english""""""" is incomprehensible

i still don't understand im afraid. are you trying to say that im a better english speaker than abos or that canadians are better english speakers than eskimos?

clearly not with the way you phrased it mate

g pa besoin dékrir 1 blog pr prouver ke jparl fr

NL has the worst English accent by far lol

They all act like they speak it so well that they’re natives to it despite them all having the accent and hearing accented English almost solely

I’m glad that I spoke Afrikaans or my trip going anywhere outside of Amsterdam would be hell

You didn't say that originally, now you've ruined your own point.
Possible 8/10 bait though.

>They all act like they speak it so well that they’re natives to it despite them all having the accent

Danes are exactly like this also

Oh! Now I understand.
In response I don't care. You guys like the language way more than we do. It's a means to an end.

Not true.

>They all act like they speak it so well that they’re natives to it despite them all having the accent
yeah it's obnoxious

How is the accent relevant to the knowledge of the language? You can be 100% fluent yet still retain your native accent, or you can barely be C1 but put hundreds of hours into practicing an accent and sound like an american or something.
Accent is also never a criteria in the english tests - they test your comprehension and they test your ability to form sentences and keeping up with the conversation. Not a word about accents.

Russians don't really need to learn English.
Most films/games/books get Russian translation straight away (as russo-sphere is HUGE and includes post-soviet countries and even some Eastern Block boomers). Russian internet segment is massive as well.
But if you are from a countrylet like Norway or Netherlands, you are stuffed - no Internet, no content.

What's with the double standards Europeans have with accents? Native English speakers don't care that someone learning English has a thick accent but if I slightly mispronounced a word in German due to my accent, they would laugh and tell me not to learn it

Pls stop lmao

>How is the accent relevant to the knowledge of the language?
Bitch if you have a thickass accent, I won’t understand squat even if you have perfect grammar

That's just confirmation bias for the most part. You've probably mispronounced tons of word without anyone giving a shit. I have also have natives laugh at my pronunciation numerous times.

Jesus Christ shut the fuck up we’re not here for your thread anymore, you’re fucking stupid

I'm not even the OP, the fuck you mean angry mutt
So what? If you learn english through american media then you won't understand british and irish accents either, despite them being fluent in the language you study.
Language fluency has nothing to do with the accents.

>Language fluency has nothing to do with the accents
>Listening skills are not part of fluency
Go to bed, Ivan

What the fuck are you saying Ivan. Obviously you can't. Shut the fuck up you retard. You learn our language not the other way around. Russian is useless.

Un classique
Several grammar mistakes though

>improving your accent is considered a listening skill
Go to bed, Gary

Your point in that sentence was that if you learn through american media then other accents will be harder to understand. Therefore your listening isn't very good as there's literally 1000s of accents.

You don't even know what point you're trying to make.

He’s trying to convince himself that you can be very good at a language even if you’re crippled in actual conversation by your accent because he’s mad he can’t pronounce thorough
My point was that the Dutch over estimate their actual skill and don’t try to improve by thinking that accent doesn’t matter (just like you), sticking them with subpar skills at English and not actually being able to use the language they think they’re so good at. You came through with some bullshit about how that doesn’t mean you don’t speak the language when all I was talking about was the Dutch, if you’re not OP then you must be his twin because y’all are both some dumb fucks

So many assumptions and projection, go back to plebddit perhaps? My accent is very minor, I've been working on my articulation and vocality for quite a long time now. The only thing natives notice about my accent is the deeper "i" sound and sometimes the non-palatalized consonants here and there.
I bet your mutt ass doesn't even know half of that terminology, but keep assuming shit mate, nothing more could be expected from that fl*g.
My point was that if you as a native speaker struggle to understand a certain accent it doesn't mean that the person who's speaking with that accent is automatically non-fluent in english.
Similarly to my previous point, you can go to some redneckest county in the US and check out their dumb accent and you'd struggle to understand it. However it's their mother tongue and they're 100% fluent in it. The key takeaway from this is that you don't understand them, not that they can't articulate themselves properly.
