 Re: British English or American accent?
Hi every body over there,
I'm a Chadian and have been teaching English now for years. The difference between British and american has always been a puzzle to me. Now I'm teaching in a company where I have many English speakers from different countries around the world, I don't think the difference in accent is a problem. It's true that it was hard to understand people from the U.K(for me).
Although at school I was taught to use British when I came into contact with Americans, it was easier for me to understand them then I would understand someone from the UK. What's important is the message and I'm happy that all English speakers don't care about the accent but the message conveyed.
I have never been outside of my country and would to have an oppotunity to go in to the US or UK to live the difference. |
