ali110: I never been in england or america , the place I learnt English in school / college than university..
The truth is my English improved when I got on cs , made some international friends and had good communication on GBE phone with them , I still have .
If you don't exercise another language every day, you can loose it...and CS is a good oportunity to practise. I've lost much of the knowladge of Italian, French and German language because I haven't used it for ages.
Yep, it’s Melk and pop. I lived in a we little town named Byron (genesee cty) while I finished my undergrad work between Mott and and U-Mich. I still have family in Byron, Lansing and Dearborn (and they do not accept sharia law.).
Yikes!!! My ex's family was from Dearborn! Tell me, was Johnny Appleseed a relative? If so, don't tell them you saw me!
Miwagi: I'd have to say either the Irish or the Scottish. I can understand the Brits and Aussies most of the time. Haven't heard the Kiwis speak very often. The Canucks don't seem to have a real strong accent sans the French. Watching a BBC series with some hearing loss can be a challenge sometimes. Plus some of the words and phrases they use are not in common usage here in the US. Any particular accent you find hard to understand?
I would think Americans would have difficulty deciphering the North East of England accent, unless you're very adept at Klingon!
