It’s just as bad in spanish. I’m an american with a colombian paisa accent in spanish and it messes with the mexicans. They love it since it’s not what they usually hear.
Whenever someone who speaks Spanish asks me if I speak it, I always respond, “Oon pokeeto, paro solaminty en oon assento Gringo.” Gets either a laugh or a groan every time. 😈
Interesting. German schools teach British English. It’s with time that I was more and more influenced by American English but first and foremost I have a strong German accent
I think it was British pronunciation considering that (at least when I was still in school) we also learned to write British English instead of American English.
Later on in high school they said you could write either, but you had to stick to one or it would count as a mistake.
Around that same time. Searching online I didn’t find anything saying it’s either one but rather both with both being acceptable (but not mixing as mentioned). Seems to depend on the teacher with lot of the older (possibly now retired) teachers being more familiar and teaching British English, sometimes as the only “correct” one and younger (not particularly young now) generation of teachers being more familiar with American English and teaching primarily that.
So, depends. Both are taught, there’s no unified policy for preference of one over another that I could find.
Okay cool.
There's a chance that I had a British English teacher back in the secondary school...I don't recall much, let alone speaking British myself.
At one point I had one of those teachers that thought British English was the only correct one. She was a real superfan of the British royal family and took sickdays or just made us watch with her if there was some televised event hah.
The first time you walk towards this car, it’s like fucking ugly, hate this car. But when you enter the car it’s love. It has to smell decently like hubba bubba watermelon gum though, the old ones.
The magic ends, when you exit the car and close the door. Then it’s ugly again, disgusting even.
How about Northside Dubliners picking a Dub Southside accent to sound posher, or Southsiders picking a Northside Dub accent to sound more gangsta? It’s an actual thing. ^^
Speaking of Irish accents! First time I heard someone with a Cork accent I lost my shit. It sounds exactly like a Scanian (Southern Sweden) person speaking with an Irish accent. It’s delightful.
