Ovela: Casually speaking his third language Me: Learning and improving my English from someone speaking his third language. PS, I watch your vids every time I have interviews. LOL 😅
I was born in the Philippines. And studied my elementary up to 2nd year high school then migrated to USA, but anyway, ENGLISH was part of our subject along with Math. Science, Sociology and in order to graduate in every level of grades, high school level you have to PASS ENGLISH, and I remember our Director in my elementary and High School were Americans, so learned English since I was 5 years old, migrated to USA because Iam naturalized US citizen due to my Father had his citizenship before I was born, and came to USA when I was 16 yrs old. So it was not foreign for me to speak English, and graduated high school in USA,and became an RN, in Northern CA. So English is very important in the Philippines. Everyone can understand English and speak it also, is not foreign at all. 🇺🇸🇵🇭❤️ I
Cantonese has a British accent , now a days only old hongkongsse didn't speak English, and most of the youngster here in Hong Kong learn English by pilipino nanny take note not only they teach English with the young kids they also teach Tagalog and dialect that they use in Philippines.
Yup, also the Arab people, when they hired nannies, most of the time, they are from the Philippines. These nannies teach the kids of their clients with very good command in English.
@@jen8932 that's so true that's why middle east and Hong Kong like to have a pilipina nanny. Not just bcoz they can teach their children English and good manners.
12:08, when you were saying the nananananna that's how it sound if they were speaking tagalog where it flows. what she's referring to is the accent in english where the consonants can make the rhythm pretty aggressive lol. the aggressiveness is the pronounciation for example saying 'that' is 'dat'. but then again, there's levels of it. like the cantonese accent when stressed like straight up honger english can sound very harsh too.
as a filipino we barely have filipino words on street signs, product packages etc. where you can read anything everyday. 😅 interviews, news or tv shows almost 50/50 filipino/english language, just having second thoughs how we vocalize or speak it because of our accent, but deep in inside we can understand 🤣 and yes aswell as spanish language lol
Nowadays in the Philippines, parents speak to their babies/young kids in English. I think it's great, but I hope they also teach them to speak in Tagalog.
I'm a Filipino working in Singapore for 16 years now, typical Singaporean English might be difficult to understand at first due to accent depending on the locals' orientation. Grammatically, for local professionals, I admire them than our American orientation because it's more concise and well-mannered in my opinion which I was able to adapt. But yes, the Filipino English accent is now recognized as the sexiest English accent in the world. It's searchable on Google.
The same goes for the Philippines Ovela,, Tagalog and English are our main languages but over all we speak more than a 100 languages or we should say dialect. It's like generally from Luzon more on "Tagalog" in Visayas more on "Bisaya" and in Mindanao mostly "Muslim"
@@queenhera6541 yes kasi taga mindanao po ako,,, sabi ko nga po in general. Same goes to Luzon hindi lang puro tagalog nandoon, pati na rin da Visayas hindi lang puro mga bisaya yong salita
we davaoweños speaks visayan,tagalog,there are muslims live in davao, only them can speak their own language with their groups but in public they speak either visayan or tagalog bcz we cannot understand their dialects. Muslims are from cotabato region,sulu,marawi ,region 12,not only that there are lots different tribes lives here we are all brothers and sisters here in davao city lives happily and peacefully no intrigues 👍👍👍💜💜💜🥰🥰
In english there are pronoun "He" and "She" for a male and female person respectively. But in Filipino we use only the pronoun word "siya" to replace the subject regardless of the gender of it. That's why we often interchange the pronoun He/she because we are not used to it.
So true, I'm a Filipino who lives in the US for 10 years but I keep making mistakes with he/she. Sometimes, I don't even notice that I make a mistake until someone will correct me. hehehe
Filipinos are brought up to enunciate their syllables that's why the words are "clear" but depending on what region one comes from, the words can sound from stiff to gnarled to singsong.
Grammar is very necessary more importantly when writing communications. It doesn't matter how Filipinos deliver it or how it sound for as long as the receiver can understand what the topic is all about.
trivia, here in the Philippines there are only 2 subjects that use Tagalog language but in an English letter, most of the subjects use English Language and English letters.
My ranking is similar to yours. The Hongkong and Singapore ladies have good command of English but their pronunciation has lisping sound. In some countries, lisping is considered a speech difficulty/handicap. Hope I don’t offend.
Accents of Filipinos speaking a foreign language are influenced by one important factor: and that is where they came from that is, what part of the philippines they come from..just remember that there are more than 140 + languages in the Philippines.
I think all but the Filipina had a couple of issues using or omitting various prepositions, articles, or just constructing phrases in a way that's not fully idiomatic in Anglo-american speech.
The main difference between Filipino Tagalog pacing is that the syllables have the same duration so they seem to be staccato and have a jackhammer impact. In contrast, American English uses stress-timed contrast which is long-short-long or shrt-long-short, in which the stressed syllable can be drawled out to be very long while the unstressed syllable often becomes a schwa or gets omitted or skipped. Americans have a Downward Staircase intonation in which most words start high then drop down to a lower pitch with each succeeding syllable. Filipinos retain an even intonation except for raising the pitch of the middle or second-to-the-last syllable for words like Boracay and Tagaytay. It sounds strange when Americans mispronounce them as [BOH-r'-kaih] or [TAH-Geh-taih]. In words like motor or lever, Americans like to differentiate each vowel so one is longer, emphasized, and louder than the other vowel. So motor is pronounced as [MOHW-t'r] while lever is pronounced as [LEEH-v'r], with the apostrophe ' representing the very shortened schwa. Filipinos prefer pronouncing both vowels in those words as the same (Spanish-style).
Idol same I love Naruto ,o rewatch it with English subtitles but I did not finish hehe,I want to rewatch in talagslog version now but I think it's not full and I can't find what website or app, then I started boruto,as of now I'm waiting for the next episode it's almost 2 years they don't have new episodes from the time boruto almost die at the hand of code
I am here in hK for 9 years now.. Unfortunately a lot of HK people can not speak English. Its so hard to communicate in restaurant's..taxi drivers..and guards too..
Truth and I can attest that. My employers can't speak nor understand simple English so I was forced to learn their language. I once rode a wrong bus I approached a guard for help but to my dismay he didn't understand me.
The Philippines is justly ranked the no. 1 English speaking country in Asia evidenced by the fact that the Philippines is the home of customer service agents worlwide.
Philippines English accent depends upon the family and province he or she came from most rich filipinos speak english well because of greater chance of getting educated from expensive private schools while those who came from poverty line they speaks it not so good but can relate to a native speaker and the Philippines had more than 80 dialects with different accent and diction so their english pronounciation will reflect the tonal ang melody of how they pronounce their native tongue I don't want to give example because they will bash me lol
If you go to philippines. Please avoid RELIGION and POLITICS. If you feel that they will start a conversation about that. Stay away. Good luck and have a safe trip in advance..
English is not necessarily a "national language" but it's just that the Philippines was a colony of the USA for almost 50 years. Our laws, even our Constitution itself is written in English. I don't know of any other non native English speaking country that has its laws and its Constitution written in English. The Philippines was the first "Vietnam war" of the USA but we had no allies like China and Russia to supply arms and ammunition. The USA didn't drive out Spain in the Philippines.. The Spanish occupation has been basically beaten and a Filipino government was already standing but America stole our freshly won independence at its nascence. I don't blame individual Americans it was just that their country had a destiny to become the sword arm, destined to be the Beast that the Scarlet whore of Babylon rides for a time until she switches to a final Beast.
Malaysian sounds like more of chinese to me. Wow it's good to know you'll be visiting Vietnam too but majority here cant speak in English. Pinay here, anyway.
See you in sb19 day 1 I will be watching in VIP standing I hope you will be there too,I want to embrace you and have some autographs,did you purchase a ticket already? Because I think it's sold out because day 1 patron and VIP seat sold out
If you'll barrow other language, please include the accent so that you'll sound original! Definitely they'll admire you instead of being ridiculed.... God bless Ovela! Luv yah......
Reason why filipinos are good with english. Is because some filipinos think english is better than filipino language. Some think if they start talking in english they are better than the other one. Mas "sosyal" daw Example. My sister got into a vehicular accident. The other driver immedietely blurted out. "i live in a condo". The other driver figured if she start talking in english she already won the debate. And bragging she lives in a condo makes her better or sosyal. Another example. My uncle in law. May wife's uncle. Whenever they get into an argument. Her wife starts talking in english. And our uncle in law avoids his wife because he can't talk back in english. Here in philippines english language is a status symbol. Masakit man aminin pero totoo. Another example. You will not hear someone saying tite"dick" on tv. But the word penis is ok. It is not censored.
Why are Filipinos good at English? because fellow Filipinos judge the manner of speech even if the grammatical structure, pronunciation, intonation, and liaison are correct. Speaking English is becoming more prevalent among Filipinos, which is one of the reasons for their success. Standard of living, standard of intelligence, standard of education. that's the reality bites. let me paraphrase it. Why are Filipinos good at English? because fellow Filipinos judge the manner of speech even if the grammatical structure, pronunciation, articulation, and conjunction are excellent. and one of the factors why Filipinos are good is that speaking English has become standard. standard in the state of life, a person's intelligence, and a standard of education

Actually English here in the Philippines differs on what part of the archipelago are you from

Actually I have a Colombian friend, and he find my accent whether I am speaking in my local language or English aggressive.

Malaysian is really good in mimicking the pronunciation even here in japan their pronunciation is really good
Fyi.i am Filipino
As a Filipina who have a highest grade in English than Filipino subject, definitely agree.
Yes it is true, American and Canadian English is similar.
In the Philippines we don't care about accent. We only care about one thing, grammar. GRAMMAR HAHAHAHA.
Yes I agree with you
