Guys, guys, I'm really curious: what do I sound like in this journal, British or from the US? Or do I just have foreigner stamped on my forehead?

I was just wondering. My two most influencial teachers were from the US - so I'm guessing either that or LOL FOREIGNER, haha. well, there was another one with a British/Australian accent since he spent a lot of time overseas, but he had a strange quality to his voice that made you fall asleep as soon as he started talking. True story. So he doesn't count.

You write like you're an American. For sure.

Yeah, definitely US, though with that slight foreign twang when you, you know, staring writing in that crazy Spanish language and whatnot. :P

Nobody sounds truly British on the internet :( It all gets sucked out of us.

Along with our ~souls~?

And our sanity too, I think.

uhm...creo que no puedo opinar al respecto.

I'd say from the US, but not quite, although I wouldn't be able to explain why.

US, definitely, just every now and then you have a sentence construction that's a little off for a purely native speaker. It's pretty rare, though. If I could write Russian (or Spanish or Greek or any of the other languages I've studied) half as well as you write English, I think I would die of joy.

US. & for the record: I can't even imgine ever being able to write French [I say French because I've been studying it for 5 years now & it doesn't feel like I've gotten anywhere, the tenses throw me off every time] anywhere near this well.

Amen to that. I've taken four years of French at honor's level in high school, followed by two (soon to be three) semesters at the college level, and I still couldn't even come close to blogging in French with the grammatical accuracy of

nekare's English. French tense are a bitch.

It's hard. I think I've got it & then damned tenses get me every time. URGH. French still kinda scares me. I look at a big page of writing & my my mind just shuts down. Still. After all this time. And I'm supposed to be getting an A in my GCSE XD

*snort* Apparently, I can't even speak English all that well either. French *tenses are a bitch.

Haha. My comment to my room mate after my French final this past week was something along the lines of, "I was sitting there, and all of my tenses had a big orgy and gave birth to a whole new made up tense." Seriously, English tenses aren't that ridiculous, are they? (Hell, they probably are, but I'll whine anyhow...)

AHAHAHAHA. BEST QUOTE EVER. Apparently English is hard? IDK. I just kind of.. type it & hope that I'm the correct tense. I am a gammar Nazi though at times. The mix up's with your/you're and there/their/they're... kind of make me want to break things XD

[link] [parent] [reply]

AHAHAHA. Try Japanese. YOU HAVE TO CONJUGATE ADJETIVES WHYYY. And Spanish has FIVE tenses, lol. But thank you, dear, you're so flattering :333

You come across mostly US, although you do have your rare, random English-grammar-is-fucked-up foreigner moments that make me giggle because they're adorable when they occur.

[link] [reply]

You sound mostly American, with some Britishisms that I see from a lot of flisters who like Brit TV and music.
