Siryak Posted July 2, 2007 CID Share Posted July 2, 2007 It is not that you are saying the wrong words or anything. The reason he probably said that is we speak a little different than you do. For example instead of saying "Then where i should go?," we would say "then where should I go." It is just more of a matter of ordering words. Which is very difficult. I take Spanish and I have trouble with the ordering of words all the time. The reason is in Spanish they say things differently. For example instead of saying Spanish class, they say class of Spanish. It still means the same thing, it is just we say it a little differently. Either way though we can still figure out what you are saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granpa Posted July 2, 2007 CID Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hi Starship T.. 1/2 cousin . this thread is getting to me , every one claiming to be English , just coz they stole my language , for the record you can only be English if you were born from Anglo Saxon stock in the British Isles , by naturalization you can become British but not English , BTW starship you may well be1/2 English , Any one interested in speaking English-English ( it's so good they named it twice ) step#1 , spend hours walking and sitting with a heavy book balanced on your head , (good for correct speaking posture ) step #2 , place a candy on the middle of your tongue , (WARNING, BE VERY CAREFULL NOT TO CHOKE ) normal a small plum is traditionally used in England , hence the saying "Talking with a plum in his mouth" , to describe the accent of an upper class Twit ........person step #3 never pronounce the letter "R" , and substitute a "W" instead like Rain becomes Wain , my name Roco becomes Woco , Railroad become Wailroad ,etc If you can master this lesson , hop over on the next jet , and I can guarantee we will all take the Piss Regards Roco ...the friendly Anglo-Saxon, Englishman , from Great Britain , in the UK and E.U. BTW the Telephone is called the dog , = dog and bone = telephone Not everyone Roco, I'm not for a fact. The reason English sounds different in the US is that many don't have the time or don't take it to practice all the steps you've mentioned to speak English-English. I know my family years back only learned what they needed for communication only to find that there were more meanings to the words that they didn't have a clue about. But if one masters it as you mention all that needs to be done then is fly over and take the piss test as they're implementing here? After reading your explanation and how to pronounce I'm beginning to think that Woco for Roco may be misspelled a little. (wako) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
