Only English!

[Jane the Volturi]

Well, I really love this language, too. And this year, we'll fly to Canada for 4 weeks - I'll have to speak english the whole time. *will be fun*
At school, I learn english, too, and my marks are actually very good
Do you learn British English or American English at school? I like Amrican English more... why, I don't know.
This Thread is really magnificent, thanks *Anna*

I think everybody learns British English at school.. I prefer British English, because it sounds cooler.. American English is very hard to understand and so.. I love London and I want to live there some day.. I always wanted to go to the United States, but I have some relatives in Canada; I met them first this summer.. And I just can say: They're so great..
My cousin is 17; just like me; and you know, he's allowed to drink alcohol with 17 in Austria; in Canada the "drinking-age" is 19^^ Yeah.. we were drunken almost every day :)
And so I'm going to visit them next summer in Canada*

When we learn English at school, at first it's British English, but later, in the 7th Grade, we have to speak like an american. I don't think it's good, because now we have to change the whole accent during a year! Sometimes, a guy in my class is speaking with a french accent, just for kidding the teacher (I hope this sentence makes sence ^//^)

@ miss panny lane
cool, I have some relatives in Canda, too.
I think, this is the most beatiful country in the world.

When we learned for example a british word, like rubbish, we actually had to learn the american word, too - trash.
I think that's good, now I can decide between american and british - in accent and in words, too

That´s my story:
My mum is chinese and my dad is german. They met in China. My dad couldn´t speak chinese and my mum not german so they talked in english. When I was burn we still lived in China and I learned english and chinese. I had to learn english otherwise I couldn´t speak with my dad and this would be a big mess! First I went to a chinese nursery than to an english nursery. After the english one I was send by my dad to a french one. Then we moved to Bangladesh. I learned a bit Bangla (the language there) but when I was four we moved to Germany. Here I learned german with TV watching and I also went to a german nursey. Now a lot of people can´t believe that I learned german so late because I have in the subject german the grades one or two! Other german kids in my class are worser then me!

I hope I didn´t disturb you!!!
