Skrivet av stellaa: I hate american English, I want to learn british, stupid school. But sometimes we have british, we mix it, and that's pretty weird. Same here. (Exept I don't hate american English, I just prefer british). But it's just plain weird when they decide to mix it?? Please make up your mind, teacher...

Sometimes the teacher hasn't learned the differences between them and hence can't teach you the difference between them and accidentally mix them up. I know a lot of people can't tell them apart besides pronounciation. 10 feb, 2013 14:52 |

I know a lot of people can't tell them apart besides pronounciation. That's probably the case with my teacher, then. Sigh. But honestly, you'd think that if there's anyone who should know the diffrence, it'd be someone who actually teaches English? But, apparently not in my school. Oh well.

In my school we learn British English, I thought all Swedish schools did?
When I was younger I so wanted to learn the American version, but now I try to stick as close to the British as I can. But I watch a lot of American tv-shows so it gets mixed up anyway haha ![]()

The differences between American and British English aren't that big in my opinion, at least not regarding the spelling. Insert a "U" for British, add an "L", replace the "Z" with "S", mostly.
Like. Neighbour. Travelling. Recognise. But I'm more used to British expressions and such, meaning I do have troubles with understanding American sometimes. After all, I don't read much American literature and whilst I do read fanfiction by Americans, they tend to be understandable. Sometimes the languages clash, and I can't understand what they want with a certain wording. For example, one word with different meaning in English and American. But usually I can figure it out fast enough. : ) But I don't think American is that bad as some people portray it. I do despise it though, when there's an American spelling on British stuff (quotes by Brits for example). It's one of my pet peeves, I suppose. I think I speak more British than American English. I've adapted my accent after friends and TV shows. I remember when cockney slipped into my life. I like to think I've trained that accent away though, haha. : ) But yeah. I've got American friends as well. I don't find their accent intolerable. : p "We should love people and use things, but unfortunately we love things and use people." 10 feb, 2013 19:11 |
