English?!?!

Posted by S0ySauce on 2007/7/9 21:07:17
Just wanted to know how so many people's English are so good but they're not from English speaking countries.

It's just a little curiousty that's been tickling me for a while.
My guess is that people are just naturally smart that way or that English is an easy language to learn.

They probably adapted to American culture so much that English was easy for them. It would be the same for me learning Japanese, if I was living in Japan for about 2 years starting today, I would be speaking it fluently.

That's quite amazing. Good job JJ!

I have to improve on my own native language much less learn a new one, though. *sniff*

Lol, I rather learn Japanese than Vietnamese. I don't like my native language....too weird with all of the symbols and crap.

Chao ban. Ban co khoe khong? Though it is missing alot of symbols on top/below of the letters, that means "Hello Friend, How are you doing?" in Viet.

Ban khong khoe. Ban met. Di lam o starbucks.
I'm not well. I'm tired, I work at starbucks.

lol. The symbols do get confusing. I had to use a dictionary to write that. But i got my English accent from the white ppl i hang out with i guess. There are a lot of Vietnamese ppl who like hikki, i never would have thought.

Holy mackeral, you're Viet?

Lol, toi met. Toi moi choi bong ro. <-- Lol, I am tired. I just played basketball. =D

Well, I was born here, but I got no accent. Well, there's not that much Vietnamese Hikki fans, I bet there are more Singapore fans.
