What, like capital letters, brackets and question marks? I take it you're not a native English speaker or you never went to school yourself?

English is not an easy language for all Asians to learn because it is not a natural pronounciation for them so takes time.

Why not make Chinese a second language as there are probably as many chinese as there are English speaking people.

Generalsiing I know but it seems that Kiwi's are not very patience when listening to a foreign language.

I have a German friend who I can understand clearly (okay I know them) and she spoke great English but her work still told her to take extra lessons.

I have been at a party where a Glasgow lad was chatting away and the Kiwi's looked bemused.

With Asians it is just a case of changing the way we say things.....they understand if you make it less complicated.

Those are just dialects. The actual language is called 'shite'.

"the words, their pronunciation, and the methods of combining them used and understood by a community"

Yeah! Skidmark feel free to criticise them when YOU have learned a second language.
It ain't easy to learn another language later in life either.

True....being from UK I have no trubs understanding them......in NZ the Kiwi language is pretty much neutral which explains the 'language ear'....anyway those guys are funny even when they don't talk....

[Grahameeboy]

That's the hallucigens dude - nothing to do with accents LOL


Hey Mark, the big problems is that English is actually a very difficult language to learn "properly". The number of stupid rules are just rediculous.

Consider "wind". It's actually 2 words (the breeze, and to wind something up). There is a pile of others too but it's early so - yaaa let me off.

Giggle! As in "thier"?

Haven't travelled through a non-english country yet, but when I do I hope people treat me kindly . . .

My dreadful Aunt is a classic, when she's talking to a non-enlish speaker, she shouts louder. Makes her easier to understand, donch know . . .
