Do you speak American or English?

I studied American from America.

American! 🇺🇸

English! 🇬🇧

Well, strictly speaking - pardon the pun - I speak English. However, as an American I speak the American dialect.

That said, as a dyed in the wool Anglophile, I genuinely like the classic British accent. (Not so fond of Cockney. It's okay but it does not sound quite so refined.)

Anyhow, I love my country, but I like the UK's accent. Oh, and just to add to my eccentricities, I love "God save the King" and know all three verses. By contrast, I really detest "The Star Spangled Banner" - it is un-singable - and only know the first verse.

To add to those eccentricities, I am of Italian, German, French, Spanish and Polish descent. Not a scrap of English, Scots, Welsh or Irish in me. So how I came to that aforementioned Anglophilia I will never know.

@Sharon571 Oh yeah. You are good at reading between the lines. I am a European history buff - especially the UK. I guess it shows, doesn't it?

[nightdrot]

@Sharon571 Actually, i have been to all those places - and a few more. No matter where I went, though, I would always spend at least a few days at the end of the trip in the UK.

In fact, I got to know a member of the security staff of Parliament and got a grand tour of same - including some time on the floor of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. I also got an inside tour of Buckingham Palace.

Believe me, you'd love it. By the way, I also recommend the little known small countries of Europe. Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino, Malta and Luxembourg. (Vatican City too, but you get that in the bargain with Rome. Which is a great city.) Hidden gems. You'll love'em.

I speak American English. You hear it in Pittsburgh, PA.
I have a few dialects:
*Kennedy English (pahk thuh cahh)
*Redneck (Y'all have a nace day, heah?)
*I can do "Brit" but I have to work my way into it.
*I can't do Irish despite my ancestry.

I speak a mix of British English and American English. British English is what’s taught in schools here but you hear more American English (movies, music, tv) so yeah, it’s become a mix.

What a fucking idiot. He has to be trolling!

[samuluaa]

I’m not American but I know English.

[La_isla_bonita23]

I speak by mixing ( both) 😂

[Dieudonné842]

[La_isla_bonita23]

American isn’t a language
