[quote=ROGERINCA,36503]Sorry, but I just could not pass up this commentary...LOL I ran across this bit of information a while back and had filed it away……..I find some humor in it now, after reading your post; as we have had some recent discussions in some other threads, respective of the term ‘Chinglish’. “John Edwards has written and spoken entertainingly about a specific form of Welsh English — "Wenglish" which refers to the dialects of English spoken in Wales, by Welsh people. The dialects are significantly modified by Welsh grammar and nouns, and contain a number of unique words. In addition to the distinctive words and grammar, there is a variety of accents found across Wales.” Therefore, what do we call the form of English language spoken my Chinese, who who have been taught by a teacher who speaks Wenglish ?? LOL :) Moreover, this subject would make for a whole new interesting thread: The differences [perceived] by native Chinese speakers, with respect to the English language spoken by those native English speakers, from: England, Australia/New Zealand, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and America ?? I was listening to a young female broadcaster on CCTV-9 or 10, here at home awhile back, and I was amazed that I could barely understand what she was saying in English, due to her very thick regional British accent. ( I think it was British) ? I had to listen with my full attention; and then I only could discern about 50 to 60 % of the language. It was English, but it could have been a foreign language as far as I was concerned !! :) In this regard, I wonder how I would sound to her, if I engaged this woman in conversation ?? So very interesting; to coin an old term. Best wishes to you !!!! [/quote]
