Hm. I wonder what i'd get on my school, here in Holland. I think both would be correct, don't you think ? We sure got it easier
--- End quote ---
usually we get taught cockney english (middelbare school, don't know how to translate that in english (high school?)), however in college (high technical english course) we got to choose what we wanted to speak/write, as long as you didn't mix the two...
foobar:
'Middelbare school' in dutch is indeed 'high school' in english, karma.
I think not switching the two englishes is going to be tough for me. I always tend to use more cockney english for common words (colour, neighbour, arse :D )
But my accent is either american, or a very, very strange kinda scottish-like accent i learned from my sister ...
Calum:
you'd probably sound (pause for effect) DUTCH to me! :D
Try learning Scots, by the way! it is derived from similar roots to other forms of Old English, however it has fallen into disuse due to it's unfashionability for a long time, due to the fact that our English oppressors made it ILLEGAL to speak it in Scotland!
Consequently i don't think that Scots will be on any of your curricula!
lazygamer:
I speak ummm Canadian. To me, Canadian/American is basically standard english with one HUGE difference, IT'S VOCALLY CLEAR! :D
Ok so what can you foreign d00dz tell me about my Canada vocal skillz that I can't notice?
Calum:
none of you can say 'house' or 'about' properly! :D
