I'm probably not allowed to share it here?.. at any case, just type "JAV" and "subtitle" together with .co at the end make sure to have an adblock though. Both censored and uncensored.

carefreeluke 722 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 @Tsubasa @True Blue @nudge @Panflute @Kowabunga Out of interest, what type of English did you guys prefer when you were learning English? British English or American English? What do you prefer now? And what was / is easier for you lot to understand? In general do you prefer the UK or the US? I know I'm asking on a forum where there's a lot of Brits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue 971 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I learned the British English and prefer it, but i hardly have any accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machado 1,710 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 American English is much easier to understand imo and more pleasent on the ear, but it's obviously due to familiarity. Most of the music the world listens to is in American English and the same goes for TV shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm asking on a forum where there's a lot of Brits. We were taught British English at school, but I definitely had more exposure to American English due to TV, movies, music, etc as a child/teenager, so I'd say that British English was actually harder to understand at that time. Later, I worked for a British company for over 3 years and dealt with British customers on more or less daily basis, so got used to it (including various weird accents/dialects haha). Doesn't make any difference anymore, though I personally prefer the sound of (standard) British English over (standard) American English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm asking on a forum where there's a lot of Brits. We learned British English in school but I learned to speak it mostly from North American television and games. So it's a bit of a weird mix where my writing is more British but my way of speaking and vocabulary is more American. Nowadays I prefer American English.

I know I'm asking on a forum where there's a lot of Brits. John Denver English is best English! In average I find now American somewhat easier to understand (there are many exceptions, though), partially due to exposure. In any case, I use my own brand of English.

Inverted 1,776 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 When it comes to accents of foreign English speakers, Denmark was the first time I ever found myself thinking on one or two occasions that I was speaking to another British person, so I guess they get taught to speak British English.

Eco 3,008 Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 I have been brushing up on my Russian and Italian, and it turns out that I'm interviewing for a new job tomorrow in which the company will pay for me to learn South American Spanish.

So for the hiragana (standard Japanese writing character) が the romanised sound is ga. I type ga and it then converts to が。 Chinese does this to. So for Hello, you just type, ni hao, and the correct characters will show up. I've constantly reached a dead end with my language learning - especially now that I have a new born and got a new job. The languages I really have wanted to learn, are just too difficult with my limited schedule (Arabic and Hungarian). With the new job, all of our IT and our second largest location is located in Bucharest, which is why I have started learning Romanian. They are all great and help me learn the language, plus with my background in Latin and English, it is considered to be one of the easiest languages to learn.

Did you learn a bit of Chinese while you were living there? I'm slowly making some progress; the grammar itself makes sense as the logic behind it is pretty simple, but pronunciation can be a real bitch due to the different tones.

I did - but since that's been...7 years or so, I'm not sure I could get my way around it any longer. I remember specifically having a ton of difficulties with the use of 'de' on Chinese. Sometimes it would mean a tense, sometimes a possession, and sometimes 'just because', but no one could really give me a great explanation to it's usage. I just don't have any need for Chinese, and don't see having one. I still keep up with my Russian well, and learning Romanian has been easy thus far. For some reason Arabic is still incredibly interesting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the contrary to me, as I expect Chinese to be one of the most desirable and sought-after languages in business/career in the next 5-10 years, as their sphere of influence continues to grow. Hence why I started learning it in the first place hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was interviewing for my new gig at a Cyber Security company, they were somewhat impressed, and part worried since I have lived in China and Russia, and can speak some of both languages.
