[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 341772, member: 1963"] On the other hand, my mother is British and says that if one more person asks her if she's from Australia, she's going to SCREAM!! She's been in this country for over fifty years and has lost a lot of her accent to my ears, but apparently not to strangers'. I consider myself a bi-lingual English speaker as I can speak both American English (with a Chicago accent), and British English (my mother insisted I learn to speak "properly"). I found that while living in Europe, many English speakers there found British English much easier to understand. When European students take the required English courses in school, they are not taught in American English. [/QUOTE]
