  • Another interesting story. So i remember i wanted to make a progress in english (im not american or british) and realised that i could just watch a bunch of interviews with people, but only ones who interested me when i was 15 were rappers. So i just watched a lot of Kanye, Drake, Rocky interviews and now i talk only like that. I know it's corny as f*** but this is how i learned it like damn.

    After some time i taught myself to not speak ebonics or whatever this dialect is called i honestly don't really know the proper term for that (i still say ax instead of ask and slap myself inside of my head).

    I even have the accent of Kanye and sometimes i mimic his intonations and because basically i just learned the whole language by listening to him. WEIRD!

    Gotta love the language that has so much dialects, and styles.

    I guess i should start listening to Adam Curtis now to help myself. Because some day i will move to english speaking country and i know damn sure that when people will hear me talking they will think something about me...

    I hear little kids speaking with American accents without any affiliations to the US, Interesting how consuming foreign media can influence your dialect over time.

    Ima be honest. Of course i said it. Im not gonna lie and act like white liberals in USA by trying to paint myself as perfect. But i said it 0 times around black people (why would i disrespect anyone like that from nothing?).

    Billions of people study English around the world, making it the third most widespread native language, and many are enrolled in an English speaking course as an adult or from a young age.
    .
    It has been called one of the most difficult languages to learn. Both for learners and native speakers alike – largely due to its unpredictable spelling and tricky to master grammar.
