What's new

China speaks better English than India, says study

vocabulary could be better. but they would still be saying 'egg flied lice' instead of 'egg fried rice'!!:lol:

Do you even know the difference between a Cantonese accent and a Mandarin accent? :no:

It is the Cantonese who have problems pronouncing the "R" sound, not the Mandarin speakers.
 
I am not surprised at all. Chinese invests a lot of resources in it. They hire college graduates from English speaking countries to teach English.
 
what do they call it a "Coconut"?

Aloo would be another word apt for this particular phenomenon....LOL!

and its an illness that tends to disproportionately afflict "freshies" of the Pakistani variety, the pacifist whatshisface being a case in point;)
 
i don't to be honest! aren't they all chinese??

Written form is the same, but there are a lot of regional dialects.

The "stereotypical" Chinese accent, is a Cantonese one... because we were the ones who went overseas first.

Mandarin speakers who know English though, sound quite different. I think they have less of an accent than Cantonese speakers do.

So Hong Kong is heavy on the Mandarin folks is it? What about Singapore? Coz the Chinese in Singapore have this way of speaking thats a mix between the Malays and the Chinese....They add "La" to everything they say...or might just be slang....

And so you can be a Mandarin or Cantonese speaking Han Chinese?
