RE: Sorry My English Is Bad

in Cross Culture2 years ago

English is not my first language too, so I don't mind if it's bad.
Since English is being used here, nobody seems to mind whether the grammar is incorrect, neither do I, lol.
However, it's funny to say that in my home country, people would make fun of someone who speaks English incorrectly.
It's unfortunate to admit that our own race treats us less favorably than other races, lol.

The greatest way to pick up new vocabulary and get practice speaking English at the same time is to interact with different people, especially the foreign ones, and communicate with them in English.

haha that's the same problem in Indonesia too. In places like Singapore and Malaysia, they have accent in their English and even some of them can't speak grammatically correct despite English being their official language. I am sure that in HK, it's like in Bangkok and every capital in SEA where people speaks with different English accent with different levels of vocabulary.

Chenglish is fun to listen to. I am often influenced by the accent here lol.
I thought Singapore is using mandarin and Malaysia has another language.. 😅..
