I don't understand American English much, but I do Britain English! By the way I don't have female friends from America only Britain. Oh and Norway and lots of guy friends ( who would probably do it with ones in Norway) in Germany.

Oh and Norway and lots of guy friends ( who would probably do it with ones in Norway) in Germany.1. They are nearly the same, apart from a few words (Examples: Jam in England, Jelly (I believe) in America. Many spellings with s in England, z in America (Aka. Civilisation (British) and Civilization (American)).2. Quote from: ReljaM on November 09, 2011, 08:57:55 am( who would probably do it with ones in Norway) What?

Well you know...
I write with American Style, but when i want to hear a document for my course, i prefer british Accent.I don't know why.. Maybe it is more clear with better articulation. I can also, understand the 99% of those that speak english, only if they don't speak like shewing gum.. I have a person in my group that we work for a team project, and at the beginning I couldn't understand him. Till, I cant understand some things.. Thats why I understand the 99%..

Well you know...1. Your saying that you couldn't understand somebody who wrote "Its a civilization," but you could if they wrote "Its a civilisation." I think I read a study that you are able to read something if half the letters are in the right order, or something very similar...2. Not really..?Quote from: spamarian on November 09, 2011, 12:08:45 pmI write with American Style, but when i want to hear a document for my course, i prefer british Accent.I don't know why..
