[@Joker-yw9hl]

What's your native tongue??? Where are you from? Do you find English or American accents more easy to understand?

[@christineroulin9518]

@@Joker-yw9hl I'm German and I got my US high school diploma during a year in Florida. Thanks to TV shows etc I have hardly any problem with US accents. UK and Irish accents, however, can be very tricky - we just don't hear them that often. People from the greater London area are usually ok to understand, but Isle of Man, Cork, ... - I'm completely lost without subtitles.

[@Joker-yw9hl]

@@christineroulin9518 oh interesting! I've heard from a couple of German and Austrian friends that they learn British English in school, but Germans in particular almost always sound American when they speak English! As you say, it must be from movies and music etc.

[@christineroulin9518]

@@Joker-yw9hl In school in Germany "ze" English teachers try their best to teach British, but most students see that as uncool. But I guess it also depends on where in Germany you've grown up. I grew up in the American sector (Frankfurt), whereas the British sector was in northern Germany (Hamburg). (Russia had the east, France the west). So there were lots of US military in and around Frankfurt. We even had a Chichi's that civilians were allowed to go to. We grew up in the strong belief that America was the shining star after which we should model ourselves, especially since we also grew up knowing that you cannot and must not be proud of being a German. When I saw the US pride in their own country first hand, it was a real culture shock for me. I can still recite the pledge of allegiance. As could my dad, up to his death in his seventies, after having spent a year in Montana in the fifties. So yeah - American English is what most Germans aspire to (efen if zat doesn't alvays vork out 🤣).

1. Bill Burr - "theres no reason to hit a woman. no reason! Really!!! I can give you like 17 straight of the top of my head." "you just dont do it but the level of ego to say 'theres no reason'. What do you ladies levitate above the rest of us?" 🤣🤣🤣 Quality! Talks about controversial topics but always makes great points. Genius 👌 2. Jim Jefferies - the bit about getting his disabled brother a prostitute. 😂👌 Always makes me think i shouldn't be laughing about certain topics which makes him even funnier. 3. Kevin Bridges Anything he talks about is verry funny. very observational 4. James Acaster - Takes you on a kind of surreal journey were you'd never know where he's going which doesn't always make sense until he gets to the end. Also can be hilariously funny without cheap and easy offensive jokes. which is quite rare imo. 5. Billy Connelly - Nothing to say about the 'Big Yin'. Except all time great who all Scots adore. 🤣👌👐👏

That thing he describes about buying a baseball bat, happened to me when I bought a TV once. The clerk hands me a form, and asks me to fill in my name & address. When I enquired what it was for, they explained it was so a database can keep tabs on whether or not I have a license. I can't wrap my head around that logic. Some people will write their real information, and pay their license fee. Some people will write fake information, and not pay their license fee. Nofuckinbody is gonna write their real info, but then not pay the fee. End of seminar.

Omg this reminds me of parties at my house when my parents were away 😆 One afternoon my parents returned to the house to a distinct smell of vomit in the hallway, of which the stench was there for more than two weeks😬🤭 My mum came into the house after visiting the garden, and asked me a question I couldn't answer at the time, nor now.. "Catherine, why is there cooked spaghetti hanging on my Rosemary bush?" 😯😳 That same time my mum came to ask me that evening wondering where all their alcohol had gone from their drinks shelf, her bottle of Pernod was nearly empty (and I then remembered a friend passing me a drink saying "hey try this, tastes like aniseed) 🙄 woops.. 🤣 Uoh... The worst party was having to explain a smashed glass door , and "Catherine , it looks like someone fell into the water feature in the garden and broke it??" and the best one... "Catherine, why are there CDs strewn around the garden? They look like abandoned frizbees?" 🤭🤭🤭 I couldn't really explain any of it.. was news to me too 😯🤭😆 Ahh, fun times
