Yes I know.

Well, when I started to learn english I never realy care about how to pronounced it but during this years when I kept studing it, every time that went to private lessons I found that my teacher was english or had spent several years on ENgland learning that lenguage, so they insist on the pronunciation .... so I must sound like a drunken Lord from UK:eek:

maybe you do? Ask a pom , they might know.

I find this incredible..
over here in NZ we have many pakistani english teachers..who of course
speak with an accent...so..when thier students leave thier classes..they sound just like them...same as myself..i never realised it untill it was pointed out that
i too speak with an accent. 'shrug' and yet english is my 1st language.

Well maybe in some strange way we are helpping to inovate the english lenguage ... or making it more "exotical". That might be another simptom of the globalization phenomenum.

so true.. :D
