as for me I prefer british english. they sound more classy than the others.
yes, but also the hardest to pronounce...
I prefer american ..
simple , easy to listen and easy to pronounce ..
australian accent and british are similar , I can't really tell the difference ..
:philarious:
btw nice thread win ..
I prefer American... because it easy to learn than the others....
I prefer American EngLish..
the reason?
because I was taught with American EngLish..
yes they're almost the same. It's not strange if we know where Australians come from. But to trained ears they're pretty much distinct. :powh:Quote:

I can easiLy Listen & understand what my AustraLian teacher said..
for real? :psurprise: that's quite unusual since english speaking countries always say that Australians have the worst accent to listen to.
my first native EngLish teacher is American..
I took a course in EF..
she speaks with no "pressure"..
it is more Like babbLing than speaking..
I must be more attentive to keep up with her..
few years Later I took IELTS preparation course in IALF..
that's my second native teacher..
she is AustraLian..
it is easy to keep up with her without being so attentive..
that explains :powh:
It's pretty hard when you have 2 or more dialects to speak with. :pdizzy:
to be honest, I can only speak 3 accents...American, British, and Redneck american.
but since I'm not a native speaker, my pronunciation isn't that good.
You know actually the simplest way to Learn English is the American Way, No Doubt about it... I mean you look at all the Soccer players like Terry, when the speak English it's like two words merged into one word, It can be simply understood but sometimes there are some words that the British can understand but we can't...
That's about it..
i was taught with American English, so i think i will use American English...
and i think it's not a big different each other...
although i admit that is very difficult to listen to British accent...
i have 2 native, 1 from US (from EF course), 1 from England (my school teacher last year)...
they both are easy to listen, the different is.. my native from England speak very fast so i must give more attention than my native from US...
of course, British gives more pressure to their vocals...
that's why their words are pretty weird for common ears.
american.. it's easier to understand.. and i never took any courses..
For preference, I prefer British English as it has such an elegant accent. I am an Australian-accent speaker by myself, as my father used to learn in Australia.
I really hate Singlish (Singaporean English, used by Singaporean and Malaysian). No need to explain why I think. Just listen to them and you'll know
as for me, Singlish, Engrish, and other asian-english dialect sucks.
they made mistakes in grammar, pronounciation etc...
