[quote=CARLOS,403695]A long time has passed since I was taught any kind of English. I think it was Thatcher-English ;=) Anyway, pronouncing was the key word then and because finnish is pronounced just like it is written, can quess that it was no easy to most of us. Nowadays kids are taught to speak and to understand spoken English more than taking care of pronouncing. I once was involved with three English guys. They came from some smaller town near London. Although they understood me, I could not understand anything what they said. A girl from near Perth Australia could have sais anything without me understanding a complete sentence.Never had had same problem with people coming from countries where "American English" is spoken. I even understood English spoken by nine namibians. My English is a mix from school, people I have met and movies. A few times i have been thought I was from Canada. Can't imagine why. So, to me there are English English which contains Australia too, and American English which, to me, contains about any other English. Carlos [/quote]
