As a Singaporean, I can tell you that we do use British English… In schools we have to spell words the British way, pronounce them the British way too. Oh and we were under the British colony in the past.
Right so idk if it’s a Northern US thing cause I’m from the South and never heard Aye Preecot always Ah Pricot when I heard her say that I was like no we don’t say it like that in America (at least in the South anyway).
@spiceitupholy2761 She never said one was better than other, just that they were similar (which is widely agreed upon by both Malaysians, singaporeans, and foreigners like myself) I'm not surprised though. You look like a stereotypical Singaporean Karen
The lady from Singapore did a great job!!!!!! I am so impressed when someone is bilingual or more! Makes me feel very not smart. I have a lot of respect for bilingual people. English is a very hard language to learn. So many weird rules or non-rules that we have! Great pronunciation!
Hi Singapore's main language is english, we have our own local accent with slangs influenced from our mother tongues. Although our English is commonly referred to as Singlish, we are able to code switch when communicating in professional settings to more " proper english" for other english speakers to understand us better. Actually over here you can see she instinctively code switched on the word lavender after the american pronunciation. Languages take a lot of practice, as long as you start and keep at it im sure you'll be great at whichever language you want to learn too!💪
America always create more tough to spell english words 😶for non native English speaker. Mostly who are taught to speak in British English and rules. 😂
Singaporeans typically speak Singlish. However, please don't be fooled... We can naturally change our voice to proper English when needed e.g. for work etc... 😅 So yeah, we *do* speak English often as well.
Been lived there for some years and enjoy Singlish a lot. Surprised to find one hospital which name as Kandang Kerbau 🤭 and you call all elderly as uncle and auntie and always tell people to die die to try whichever we found good hawker center.
We Singaporeans spend a decade or more in school learning proper English grammar, diction, phonetic. stress etc...This is not the outcome of all the learning. Misrepresentation..!
I love Singlish and Singapore english, in fact sounds very close to Manglish and Chinglish, in fact, its far usonian and british english, in natural sentences and discourse.
American English 🇺🇸 is spoken not only by Americans🇺🇸! Many Filipino 🇵🇭 and Indonesian 🇮🇩 people speak American English 🇺🇸. I am an Indonesian 🇮🇩, and I can speak American English 🇺🇸 well!
I'm American but had some more in common with the woman from Singapore lol😅 In my state we would say Apricot with the long vowel instead of the short as well. Aa like cāt, bāt, etc..
As a Brit, Singapore English is definitely closer to British English
Bruh 🗿
It's Called SINGLISH !!.
It's becos Singapore schools teaches British English and gives their exams by British council

Obviously India, Singapore, Australia will be similar to British English
As an Indian I can say Singapore English is similar to Indian English
Nah its more like Malaysian
No never 😂😂 Indian accent makes it worse😂
Probably the influence of the Brits

@@Hazel.10u will tell us how to speak ...we r second most English speaking nation
I've never said Aye-pricot, always ah-pricot.
In Australia we pronounce it 'aye-pricot'
Right so idk if it’s a Northern US thing cause I’m from the South and never heard Aye Preecot always Ah Pricot when I heard her say that I was like no we don’t say it like that in America (at least in the South anyway).
Singapore is kin of simmilar to Malaysian accent btw I live in Malaysia!
No offence but Singapore English is way tad better than Malaysian English
Malaysia and singapore accent very different 😅
@spiceitupholy2761 She never said one was better than other, just that they were similar (which is widely agreed upon by both Malaysians, singaporeans, and foreigners like myself)

...Singaporeans natively speak English
Nobody in America calls it an APEricot. It's APricot
Lies again? Special Agent AMWF CAR
Depends on state lol many southern states will say it with the long vowel so I bet you are also from a more southern state.
America always create more tough to spell english words 😶for non native English speaker. Mostly who are taught to speak in British English and rules. 😂
Noo... it's apricot. Not apricot.
I say apricot like the Singapore woman. The way the American woman said is mostly from the Midwest and southern states.
In the Midwest we don't pronounce apricot, because we don't know what it is.
@@isaiahBaby 😅😅😅. They taste great.
I'm in the midwest we don't say apericot either. We pronounce like girl on the left.
Im a singaporean and i know it from deep down in my soul she changed lavender and february. Its should be luh-van-duh and Feh-buh-ry
We say apricot like gal from Singapore did. I guess that must be a regional difference.
Me too. Midwest (Michigander here)
@@Juleesuz As a Texan, we also pronounce the word ah-pricot, not aye-pricot.
My accent is mid-Atlantic coast. We don’t say it like her either.
' lavinder kumar is last one ' 😂😂😂
it's like Singapore's pronunciation is almost the same with we Nigerians, most especially with words like "thermometer" and "photography"
This is true..actually i get that alot my american boyfriend says that my singaporean accent sounds Nigerian
The Singaporean lady doesn't sound like someone who speaks English often...
We speak Singlish not English that’s why

It's Indian accent too. Singaporeans are much similar to Indians
Take that back
There are some similarities since both countries were colonized by Britain 😊
Tharmameter 😂
Yes, our accent can be quite funny😂😂😂
Yang buat pening adalah kata ini (lah,meh, aaa) 😅😂
Americans English always complex and they make it that way so they can sound cool 😂
Laa-VAN-der with emphasis on the 2nd syllable. You have to say it that way otherwise the older cab drivers will not understand you. Haha.
I’m American but definitely would say Apricot the way the Singapore girl did.
Been lived there for some years and enjoy Singlish a lot. Surprised to find one hospital which name as Kandang Kerbau 🤭 and you call all elderly as uncle and auntie and always tell people to die die to try whichever we found good hawker center.
America : lavendar
india : lovendar
February is actually Fibravary in india
She's such a lovely American lady😃🤗🤗
In Singapore we say apricot as, “Epricot”
We Singaporeans spend a decade or more in school learning proper English grammar, diction, phonetic. stress etc...This is not the outcome of all the learning.
Misrepresentation..!
Both looks lovely💞
I like proper english accents more.Singlish be like:”lah lah mah sia”😂
You should do another session and let the Singaporean taking the lead.
It sounds absolutely normal for me
I love Singlish and Singapore english, in fact sounds very close to Manglish and Chinglish, in fact, its far usonian and british english, in natural sentences and discourse.
This is basically all Asia English😂😂😂
American English 🇺🇸 is spoken not only by Americans🇺🇸! Many Filipino 🇵🇭 and Indonesian 🇮🇩 people speak American English 🇺🇸. I am an Indonesian 🇮🇩, and I can speak American English 🇺🇸 well!
