Why do they speak broken American?

>>215923098 (OP)
ohhh AHHHH I'VE BEEN BAITED, I SIMPLY MUST RESPOND TO THIS SLIGHT

I was taught British English at school.

>>215923115
Everyone in Europe is.

>>215923115
An American would have taught you that it's "in school".

>>215923115
Is there even a single person who was taught American at school but consciously chose British afterwards?

>>215923098 (OP)
They had fallen to

>>215923098 (OP)
Could be worse

Have you ever hear awful indian accent ?

>>215923148
Typical.

>>215923098 (OP)
Webster literally changed english in america to disassociate the new country from the brits.

american english is a phonetic simplification of british english.
Euros should still learn brit english since it's more common to meet brits in europe than americans.

>>215923224
I ain’t talking like them RP posh niggas, you feel me?

>>215923122
do euros write oct 17 or 17th oct in every essay or resume?

>>215923224
British English is a dead language. American English is the future.

>>215923246
We write 17. Oktober IN GERMANY.

>>215923262
so you dont do that October 17 in GERMANY?

>>215923255
Arabic is the language of German future.

>>215923298
No, only retarded Americans do mm/dd/yr IN AMERICA.

>>215923309
Sorry, I don't speak HIV, please translate.

>>215923312
you should do that in GERMANY

>>215923329
I should not IN GERMANY.

>>215923240
>>215923255
You're not talking like them THOUGH. Euros have developed their own english lingo/accent (euro english).
https://youtu.be/vf8KxvRYvQU?si=pnuSBMXvzr3x-xJV

In terms of grammar, euros almost always use british grammar.

>>215923441
>Euros have developed their own english lingo/accent
It’s not an accent at all. Every speaker retains their own accent. A Frenchman speaks with a French accent, a German with a German accent. And the “dialect” is just a bunch of false friends, mostly due to Romance speakers.

>>215923122
Maybe officially but textbooks often teach both or just American and teachers just speak regular English (i.e., no British accent). Everyone in my school bullied the kids who tried to force a British accent until they spoke neutral English in class.

>>215923554
wtf is “regular English”?

>>215923441
Gen Z and Gen alpha speak English identically to what they see on instagram and tiktok, what they learn in school is irrelevant because nowdays everyone speaks English before they start learning it in school.

>>215923569
General American, dumbass.

>>215923578
>nowadays
Actual EFLs never say that, contrary to what you wrote.

>>215923441
That's some bureucrat/lawyer English no one speaks like that in real life.

>>215923595
So?

>nowadays
>Actual EFLs never say that

>>215923584
HIV off, VPNvan.

>>215924035
He's right though.

One of the huge points of General American is that it's, like, general. A billionaire and a redneck from Montana both speak with the same pronunciation. While RP is the London's accent and a plenty of people dislikes London.

>>215924174
Now you're wrong again, RP is dead and buried. Lmao.

>>215924071
She is pozzed.

>>215924604
Why do you have a weird loveboner for British English?

>>215924627
This is not a mature question.

>>215924647
>mature
ESL spotted.

>>215923554
>Everyone in my school bullied the kids who tried to force a British accent
Why?

>>215925181
please stop being an arrogant ESL putting down another ESL fellas. He just wants to sound posh

>>215924174
>A billionaire and a redneck from Montana both speak with the same pronunciation.
And it sounds horrible

>>215924627
Why would it be weird to like the authentic version of a language?

>>215925423
Because it's forced and unnatural. They also usually tried to sound posh, like they were emulating RP.
>>215925507
It's not the standard version anymore.

>>215925787
Imagine if someone was bullied for learning Finnish without the vocal fry, because it sounded "unnatural". Would that make sense?
>They also usually tried to sound posh, like they were emulating RP.
Sounds like they were committed learners.
>It's not the standard version anymore.
Says who?

>>215924319
RP and SSBE are the same accent.

>>215925941
I'm not sure whether I should use British or American English. I kept British since the school for a while but then I switched to American because I thought I'll go there. Now I know I won't go there but the majority of people around me suggest to do American.

>>215926021
>I'm not sure whether I should use British or American English.
If you're straight, use British English, if you're gay, use American English

Each generation here sounds more and more American, zoomers basically think they are American.

>>215926108
american english will make you have more opportunities to earn money and get tiktok and youtube subs from worldwide

>>215926182
No it won't, the yanks love our accents, and interestingly even though we've been culturally cucked by them, they're more exposed to our culture than ever, you get Brits in a lot of American films and they're even aware of things like Greggs now.

>>215926021
American for economic reasons. British for integrity and class.

>>215926204
>No it won't, the yanks love our accents
they literally mock your accents
>bo'oh'o'wa'er

>>215926251
Even we mock povvos for dropping ts, we don't drop ls though, I'm not sure how that made its way into the meme.

>>215925941
>vocal fry
This is not a different accent of Finnish, it's just a personal difference.
>standard version
Numbers? Anyway, you can't choose which language is the lingua franca, it's just whichever language happens to be dominant in trade, culture, business, etc.

>>215926064
Idk dude. I'd fuck a passing trans or even just a cute twink honestly.
>>215926216
>economic reasons
Such as?
>integrity and class
But Standard British is from London and I hate London because it reminds me of Moscow.

>>215926284
Your island has like 1000 accents and nobody but Brits can tell them apart. Most people hear someone from cockney, Manchester, Liverpool, or Birmingham and think "yep that's British". They don't make a distinction for class or regional dialect. Its really something only your own people understand

>>215926342
Even you would be able to tell the difference between a Liverpool and Birmingham accent

>>215925941
>Imagine if someone was bullied for learning Finnish with the vocal fry, because it sounded "unnatural". Would that make sense?
What?

>>215926337
You'll simply have more opportunities with American English. In media and most businesses and jobs. Its become ubiquitous and familiar to most of the world.
>integrity and class
Standard British English is currently (and has mostly been) in a better state than American English. The rules are more rigid and it encourages a stronger vocabulary. The standards of American English are rather poor, even institutionally. DEI, nigs, and other cultural reasons.

>>215926390
I have a strong ear and am a native speaker but I'm telling you most people cannot. The best most people can do is pick out an accent from continent to continent, and even then people think Australian/NZ sounds British. Having such a strong cultural inclination to observe distinctions in accent is very much a British thing.

Isn't it the opposite though? I perceive American as white, rural, and authentic and American as globohomo, pozzed, and libshit.

>>215926669
It has some autistic origin with a French word, trying to make English a phonetic language is pointless.

>>215926575
I agree partially, most ESLs can only pick up which country someone is from because they don't have that knowledge, but Britain has the largest diversity in dialects. Just compare a London, Birmingham, Welsh, and Northern Irish accent. Americans are the ones that are obsessed with making their accents super important even though they're barely different.
>Oh my god my Wisconsin accent is craaaazyyyy like ugh, I say goin' instead of going!!!!!

>>215926701
I assume you meant to say British in the first half. Yeah the country is fucked but their standards for English in an institutional capacity is higher. Seems to be a cultural issue. Speaking refined proper English is seen as a requirement for the upper classes. In America this is much less so.
>>215926686
I'm telling you brother most people see that just go "yep that's a Brit, maybe he has a cold"

>>215923098 (OP)
>>215923255
Of course it's the german freak yet again, gay bent homosexual autistic Kraft

>>215926342
No you're just an ignorant subhuman from a country without education. Those accents are all extremely different

>>215926955
:D

>>215926955
I'm not from flag friendo. Although the education here is quite good, wouldn't discount it. Average Serb knows 2 or 3 languages, can name every capital of every country in the world, and usually has some specialized training. So be nice. You would be hard pressed to say the same or American or Britain. I would know, I'm from one of those

>>215925507
Britishers will bully and hate ESLs if we speak English with bad pronunciation, meanwhile Americans will appreciate our broken English and don't mind about our ESLness

>>215927678
>Britishers will bully and hate ESLs if we speak English with bad pronunciation
We don't do that.

>>215923326
Sorry for speaking in HIVglish first. Here's your translation:

>in the first half
In the second lol. How the fuck London English is white lol. It's globohomo central.

>>215923475
i've spoken to norwegians who had perfect british accents, like actually indistinguishable from a random english bloke

>>215927678
I agree Polebro.

unlike europe, here we learn american english in the school (i learned it alone since the education system is terrible), i prefer british english accent, the english sounds nice.

>>215927807
I'm not talking about street yardie English all the darkies and chavs speak. I'm talking about English as an institution from the country's higher end educational systems and as a cultural value amongst middle and upper class people being better. No point in talking about the lowest common denominator they're all retarded.

>>215923098 (OP)
Americans speak 1700s Souf English, Souf English can do the R just like Americans

Listen to the Irish accent, they sound close to Americans

>>215928231
literally no one asked

>>215928272
Again, the American upper class who speak Standard American are white country ourguys while the British upper class who speak Standard Biritish are zogbots. So the perception is different and not in favor of the British.

This. It sounds so fake. You are not british stop trying to force it
