I think, it’s harder to detect the country of origin when Filipinos and Indonesians speak English because it’s a lot closer to the American accent and we speak it in a more casual way. I find Indian English very formal and stilted sometimes and I don’t think it’s because of British influence and rather more like a textbook-type of having learned it. It’s also a little ironic though that Korea for example sends their people to learn English here in the PH and yet we still often hear our accent being looked down upon over there.
Honestly, Indonesian and Filipino have their unique accents. They're not similar to the American accent, but rather have a Southeast Asian (SEA) type of accent. Indonesian, Filipino, and Malaysian accents are very similar to each other, representing a distinct SEA accent. Just like other parts of Asia, such as East and South Asia, they have a distinctive accent that is unique to them.
I agree what the lady said that the Filipinos are perfectionist in terms of speaking in English close to textbook English. The reason for that because we learned English in school. Meaning we need to apply and practice whatever we learned .While American English prefer to use idioms in conversation.
@soniafontanilla747 because it is their language . They can do whatever they want with it. But once you are adept in using the language, you can add your own idioms.
They are surprised because both sides of his family come from a monolingual country. Multilingual countries like the Philippines tend to be former colonies and usually at least know English, French or Spanish.
I’ve travelled a little bit through Singapore. It is apparent that they use those with some English fluency on services (police, taxi drivers, etc.) which is a good thing, but they don’t reflect the average fluency of all Singaporeans. Needless to say, it doesn’t follow Singaporeans are better than Filipinos in English which they wrongly proclaim often. It also too obvious that most Southeast Asians (including Singaporeans) speak English with American pronunciation, not British, and considering that Singapore and Malaysian were under British rule, one can only conclude they learned English from Philippine teachers. Yet, they won’t mention this fact that it’s the Philippines who have taught them much of their curriculum. Fun fact: the Brits and the Dutch colonizers do not have an equivalent of the Catholic teaching missionaries the Philippines have had from the the Spaniards and Americans. Many of them run great schools around the world (the Jesuits, Christian Brothers, Dominicans, St. Bridget’s Order, Maryknoll, Franciscan and so much more). The Spanish missionaries converted and educated the Filipinos for 333 years of their colonization while the American missionaries were there almost 100 years until the late 1990s. Their schools of course have contributed so much to the Philippine public school system as well. As a youngster, I have known many of these SE Asian schools have consulted with Filipino school administrators. They’ve have gotten education from the Philippines, and they have hired innumerable Filipino school teachers for their schools up to the present. Yet, not one of them would mention these facts. Moreover, they propagate this fact that the Philippine school system is the lowest in their ranking system system as published by UK ranking firms and favoring their own ex-colonies. It takes big 🏀🏀 to make such proclamations. The presiding woman in the video was right about her assessment that the Filipinos have the best English in the region, and it’s based on her own personal survey.
Singaporean English is based on the British model. That is how their teachers are trained. The decolonization of Singapore along with greater American influences from Hollywood have greatly affected the Singapore accent. It has nothing to do with Filipino teachers. There is no evidence for the mass hiring of Filipino English teachers. Lee Kuan Yew is making the switch from British to American English at the keyboard due to trade and America's growing influence. I don't really think you can make the claim that Filipino teachers brought English education to Southeast Asia. They often hire locals who have been trained abroad or Americans to train local teachers.
@@maryjanebaligo7240 the difference between American and British English isn't just the accent. There are still some barriers and some things are called differently. Probably the most common the people know of is Elevator (AE) = Lift (BE), Flashlight (AE) = Torch (BE)
@@MAYENE-WSPRI2 No, most online English teachers are from America, the UK, etc. The Philippines is just one country. Singapore does not hire Filipino teachers for the most part.
The pronunciation of words and languages here in the philippines start in sounding of letters, in school we were taught during our primary grades on how to sound each letter and combined with the other, until these sound combination became a words, and words became a sentence, sentence became a paragraph, and so on.
In the Philippines we use English from Elementary to College and English is our second Language. The only subject that we used our language is Filipino subject but for us Filipino subject is harder than English, just like the words "pararila" "pangatnig" "pandiwa" "pang-abay" etc.. etc.. etc... and sometimes we translate the words into English to know what's the meaning of it😁😁😊 My English major teacher said "if you don't know how to speak English, you cannot talk the world, for English is the main Language in the world". I have one teacher when she called you and asked something you need to speak English and if you can't you will remain standing😊☺. Now I'm living in the US and when I came over here the family and friends of my husband was surprised that I know how to speak English☺☺☺🥰

That's really the accent of Filipinos, the Filipino English Accent is aggressive because of speaking properly and people can understand it so that's what it's for.❤❤❤
I think Filipinos have a good command of the English language because of many factors but one of the most overlooked factors is their love for singing especially English songs. Children develop their grammar and diction at an early age and they articulate very well. Also the way they speak opens up their powerful vocal chords again at a very young age. Singing really is a powerful tool to loosen one's tongue and vocal qualities. During the British invasion of the 1960s, Filipinos are big fans of the songs of that era, and even today, those songs are still popular and you know British singers at that time, they got higher pitches and Filipinos don't mind, such raw power can't be taught.
Maybe it does help but i think most filipinos can speak english is because most of our subjects in school are in english. Nowadays only the filipino subject is being taught in tagalog everything else are in english.
My great-grandfather was a Thomasite. They were a group of 500 teachers who traveled to the Philippines to establish a basic education system and to teach English. This happened after the Spanish-American war. I later found out he stopped by Tokyo to pick up more instructors. He was able to make friends with them before making their way to the Philippines. Much respect to my grandfather making that long journey.
Was your great-grandfather a graduate of an institution mentioned hereunder? USAT Thomas carried nearly 500 Thomasites, who arrived in Manila in August 1901. They represented 192 institutions, including Harvard (19), Yale (15), Cornell (13), University of Chicago (8), University of Michigan (24), University of California (25), Albion College (1), Alma College (2), Kalamazoo College (1), the Michigan State Normal School at Ypsilanti (now Eastern Michigan University) (6), and Olivet College (3).[2]
Philippine English can be sub-divided into Tagalog English or Taglish, and Bisaya English, or Bisaglish. Taglish sounds mellow, while Bisaglish is hard-accented. Both variants are very maleable and can be hammered to form as real american english, canadian english, australian or even british english. It depend on circumstances and peculiar situation. In singing and beauty competitions abroad, Pinoys tongue are easily adoptible without twisting the tongue no matter what, and just respond naturally to particular diction, resonance or pitch and can mimick any particular brand mentioned above. This is why Pinoys sounds like the originals of whatever genres of music. It can be as good as xerox copy of an original, or a reinvented cover. Philippine singers particularly the artist category can dribble out of thin air his, or her vocals forward, backwards, upwards or inwards. It can be comical too like Charlie Chapman, or all the Hollywood artists combined. For every american great singers from jass, ballad and to rock, their always a thousand or million copies across the Philippines, and its not difficult to find these guys. They are in plain sight, or seen in social media, with the karaoke beside. It can dash marathon lines not just fast, but superfast and furious. The Bisaya tongue is easily recognizable with hard-thick accent in ordinary conversation is most maleable and easily intertwined into the tapestry of music world with ease. A long line of these artists ended world class singers competing in global stage and became Holywood greats, or their Philippine lineage came from the Visayan region. At time of birth the infant spoke the English vowels already. By 6mos-1 yr with Karaoke around, and uncles, aunts and neighbors paraded as if engaged in one community singing competition, this child of tender years evolved into the singer class.
My grandniece learns English with American Accent thru You tube by watching a lot of Children Shows now she's having trouble learning Tagalog or Filipino Language she just turned 5 years old and will be enrolling as a Kinder Student and she's having hard time pronouncing Tagalog words she's saying it with slang accents.
Our tongue is the forefront of our culture and of who we are. english is a very interesting and influencial language in the entire world that all peoples wanted to learn! and hearing them speaks with their own tongue amazed me how dramatically diverse people are even when speaking the same language and i love that. there's no perfect english accent for me. not sure if british or american, australian or new zealand. because each has cultural touch on it. just wondering tho, what anglo saxon accent sounds like in those days(in old germany) where english language was originated.
I first came to Singapore in the early 90's. During that time only a few locals knew how to speak fluent and clear english. Many spoke their mother tongues like Mandarin or Hokkien, Tamil or Malay. Generally it was Singlish and only a few spoke it properly. Chinese Singaporeans who spoke better english studied in english schools or outstation and those that spoke Ah Beng english were from Chinese schools or newly relocated. Malays and Indians were generally better english speakers then. What I did observe after 22 plus years in Sg was that Filipino nannies helped a lot of Singaporean children to learn proper english from them speaking Singlish. Many of these nannies and maids were actually certified teachers back in the Philippines and they did double up to help tutor their wards. They as surrogate moms dressed them up properly too when in those early days, the local had Ah Beng fashion sense. So the Filipino maids and nannies contributed greatly to the following generations of Singaporeans. The early 2000's brought in an infux of Western migrants and infuence because Sg was greatly reaching its affluence and prosperity then. It hastened the rapid progress of modernizing Sg and its new generation to speak better english and be fashionable and hip. I should know, Ive been there for more than 2 decades and saw Sg grow and from their many open cogon fields develop into modern housing and urban centers.
I think the "accent" stems from the Filipino language using hard/short vowels. For example, we pronounce MABUHAY as M(ah)b(oo)h(ah)y. Our A is the short hard a, not soft-long æ. So we say (ah)pple instead of æpple. Same with E (eh instead of ee/uh), I (ee instead of ai), O (short o instead of oh), and U (oo instead of yu). Cucumber would be coocoomber instead of cyucumbuhr (although most who learned in school would know how to pronounce it of course) .

I was born during 90's era,. From kindergarten, grade school, highschool and college; we're taught to speak and spoke in English during classes. But of course during Filipino subject we need to speak and spoke in pilipino (tagalog) vernacular language. That's why our 2nd language is English. Because our English teacher taught us that English is a "Universal Language". In today's generation, when it comes to ASEAN countries what I know regarding of ranking of knowledge proficiency of subjects- Mathematics, Science and English; Philippines is now behind Singapore.
because our language (filipino/tagalog) is mixed with spanish words we tend to pronounce as it is written… so we dont follow anyone accents but our own .. plus of english language engagements like as in school, government, movies, musics and conversation physically… so each country has its own “pronunciation” due to its culture…
I'm a foreign national who is happily married to a Filipina. One of the advantages of Filipinos is their general proficiency in the English language, which is evident in almost all regions of the country. This proficiency can be attributed to the period of American colonialism, during which education and the introduction of the language were emphasized. This stands in contrast to neighboring countries, where language barriers often lead to translation challenges.
My asawa is Filipina. I love her English accent. Her only issue is pronouns. She sometimes confuses him and her. But that’s understandable when the native word is not gender specific. She sometimes types good morning my wife to me. I return with good morning my husband. Then she gets it. 🤣 She is trying so hard to practice the correct pronouns. 🇵🇭🇺🇸🤙
When im back for short vacation to my home.. i have 10 years old boy and 5 years old daughter and im surprised they speak very fluent and good in dection in English while talking to their school mate😅... Imagine we're living far in the city but kids while talking they speak English 😂.... I work here in Hong Kong and my employer used to play Filipino Kids RUclipsrs to their daughters just to improve their English speaking skills... Proud being Filipino ❤🇵🇭
There are some Malay words that is similar to Ilocano Filipino dialect. For example ikan means fish also in Ilocano which is similar meaning in Malay. Mangan is eat in Malay and same in Ilocano. 😊We have a Malay blood..that’s why, we are a little bit of everything😅
even though I haven't degre but I can understand English and I can speak English little bet. because I learned it since I was young, my parents taught me basic words.we used alphabetical.you can see many English words every where here in the Philippines. that's the reason why Filipinos can understand English...you can hear English communication specially Sunday.after drinking alcoholic.😅
Wait for the upcoming generations of English speakers in the Philippines. Hahahah! My nephew has never been in USA. But he speaks, and sounds just that. Hahah. There's actually allot of them.. actually I call them. The RUclips babys. Hehe.
Yeah true. I'm amazed at how children learn so fast with the English language conversations nowadays. In 2020 my four year old grandkid speaks to me like an adult uttering words like complicated and embarassing. When he goes out to play with the local kids, she instantly switch to Tagalog as her playmates complain they don't understand her. Also at 4, another grandkid can speak extemporaneously in English and can speak Tagalog with an American accent. Yeah, watch out for this new generation of Filipino EFL (English as a First Language) speakers and how they will revolutionize a new breed of English speakers who have not even started kindergarten yet. Problems with advocates of the mother tongue first, may have to reconsider modifying their program.
Filipinos are diverse in speaking English,depending on the local dialect they used thier accent in english is affected but the facts that if you soeak english you can communicate almost all Filipinos.
When I was working with they americans or any other countries.They always ask me since when I learned to speak english. Because my english is good. I answered them since I start studying in Grade 1 because we have english subject in school.
Philippines' English is solid because it is recognized as one of the two national languages in the country. Together with Filipino which is the standardized Tagalog language
pinoys has the best english in all asia. japanese R is L . the Indians pronouns T like D .Singapore always has Lah~ somewhere which is very cute. Pinoy's english is besides the US and UK but that is overall. a lot of pinoys has bad english too. but we know how to answer yes, no and I don't know which is really big for foreigners. and the way we try to speak in english even if we have little knowledge especially the people from the province like guides and kuya guards. @nelly you should learn tagalog. Imagine if you can be as good as will's tagalog.
Indians pronounce t as t its just your stereotype india is not a small country it has 22 official languages and 1000s of different language every language has different accent😂😂 most proper english is spoken in india
@@animex8129I have colleagues from India and they are very good at learning Filipino language and pronounce it pretty well while their english is good but the pronunciation is highly influenced by their thick Indian accent. Overall they are good in english and easy to understand. In all Asia I think it’s Philippines and India who has the highest English literacy simply based on my conversations with different nationalities in Asia.😊
Pls Nery try to enlarge your video post it's small maybe you can use half of your screen. Hehe just a suggestion tnx 😅😅😅 I've do have a blurred vision that why 😅😅😅
Thats exactly correct. Filipinos follow the american english that is why the pronunciation is clear and audible. But most of our neighbors follow the british english because of political reason, accents and they believe it is the true origin of english language. Am i right? 😂😂😂😂😂
As a Filipino in Taiwan who teaches English as a part time.. we were colonized by the US. A lot of things here were influenced by Americans. Growing up, my parents used to believe that speaking good English will take us further in life in terms of career. I cannot recall the age I started learning English.. maybe since birth. Or maybe since I am inside the womb lol. I listened to american music, watched cartoons in English. All encyclopedias and almanacs for kids are in English. 10 years of basic Education and Filipino subject is the only subject where you are allowed to speak Filipino. I remembered there was a penalty for us when we speak Tagalog (like 5 pesos when someone heard you). I didn’t like the culture where I was shamed for having bad grammar (by my fellow Filipinos). I always believed that speaking good Tagalog is where I should focus on since I am a Filipino. I do admire the countries that focus on preserving their language like Taiwan and Japan.. having good English is a plus but I think we should love our own and not shame others for speaking poorly in their second language. My English never got better in the Philippines because I was often shamed for my shortcomings. I only improved here in Taiwan where I met my American friend who is very encouraging in almost all aspects of my life (and I had copied her accent I guess lol). Speaking another language requires confidence. Improving takes a lot of mistakes. So dont be ashamed to make mistakes. Just practice and it will get better. For me accents are beautiful. I dont mind when people say I have a Filipino accent when speaking in English. I am a Filipino, so I have that accent. :P
In the Philippines, English is learned in schools. So, one's proficiency in written or spoken English depends on his educational achievement and the quality of the school he has attended. Like: 1. A graduate of Silliman University has better English than one who graduated from a state university at the hinterlands of Bohol Island. 2. A congressman whose formal schooling is 4th grade has terrible English as one who finished grade six from a barangay school.
I taught in an ESL school and i asked my students why they chose to study English in the Philippines they said it was cheaper compared to other ESL schools.
Back in my High School days I mean 1990, our English teacher will not allow us to speak our own language except English during our subject period, and we will be fined in certain amount that the whole class agreed upon, so unless you learned the word or the phrases to speak, you better keep your mouth shut, and as expected English period were the quietest moment, LOL and the same goes in College where our Teacher expects we can easily speak and communicate. These are the factors and the English movie and the songs, and our relatives abroad we really need to learn
Going back to my college years, my English Professor once told us that "ENGLISH IS A VERY TRICKY LANGUAGE", up until now I'm still thinking about it and can't forget it. 😅
that is because PH is taught american english as early prep school. kids these days speak english even before going to school, learning through youtube.
When i was in uae and everytime i talked to my colleagues (indian,nepal,kenyan etc) i always said sorry my english is slow, they reply that my english is so textbook thats why i have difficulties but that pronunciation is more accurate than them,. Also they said never feel embarrassed if your english is slow,.it's just a language not an intellectual measurement,.as long as it's clear you're good,.
English is our second language. We have two sets of alphabet, english and filipino. Our text books are all in english the only required books in tagalog is in our filipino class. Our school is very strict with proper pronunciation and grammar. The accent cannot be avoided because of our native tongue and we speak many different dialect not to mention some spanish language integrated in our daily conversation from being colonized for over three hundred years.
In Malaysian and Singaporean English, I've also noticed they add the word 'lah' after every sentence. They speak so fast that it seems they disregard punctuation marks. Personally, as a Filipino, I also prefer the Indian accent over the rest because although they have this rhythmic like tones their pronunciation is much clearer and they know when to end their sentences.
Filipino English accent is good for those learning English, since there a few “disappearing” or altered vowels or consonants. So as a learner, you hear what you read.. WATER is spoken as WATER… not WATUH, MORNING is not spoken as MOHNING
i'm a Filipino i know i have a good accent and i think some people needs more practice to learn how to pronounce it well in natural way like the american accent without exaggeration...

My grandniece learns English with American Accent thru You tube by watching a lot of Children Shows now she's having trouble learning Tagalog or Filipino Language she just turned 5 years old and will be enrolling as a Kinder Student and she's having hard time pronouncing Tagalog words she's saying it with slang accents.
some kid shows are australian or British
peppa pig is british
Bluey is australian
Same here, watching cartoons and dinosaur all in English then Tagalog she struggles.
Our tongue is the forefront of our culture and of who we are. english is a very interesting and influencial language in the entire world that all peoples wanted to learn! and hearing them speaks with their own tongue amazed me how dramatically diverse people are even when speaking the same language and i love that. there's no perfect english accent for me. not sure if british or american, australian or new zealand. because each has cultural touch on it. just wondering tho, what anglo saxon accent sounds like in those days(in old germany) where english language was originated.
Done share this video i love this topic very knowledgeable
im a filipino but i also love indian english accent with matching head movement ....
Absolutely true. But Indian mystic Sadhguro had the most perfect and concisely worded English-speaking Indian of all 1.3 billion Indians.

Love this content ma'am nelly❤❤❤
It's good to see you again in your blog Nellys.
Thank you! 😊
I first came to Singapore in the early 90's.
During that time only a few locals knew how to speak fluent and clear english.
Many spoke their mother tongues like Mandarin or Hokkien, Tamil or Malay. Generally it was Singlish and only a few spoke it properly.
Chinese Singaporeans who spoke better english studied in english schools or outstation and those that spoke Ah Beng english were from Chinese schools or newly relocated.
Malays and Indians were generally better english speakers then.
What I did observe after 22 plus years in Sg was that Filipino nannies helped a lot of Singaporean children to learn proper english from them speaking Singlish.
Many of these nannies and maids were actually certified teachers back in the Philippines and they did double up to help tutor their wards. They as surrogate moms dressed them up properly too when in those early days, the local had Ah Beng fashion sense. So the Filipino maids and nannies contributed greatly to the following generations of Singaporeans.
The early 2000's brought in an infux of Western migrants and infuence because Sg was greatly reaching its affluence and prosperity then. It hastened the rapid progress of modernizing Sg and its new generation to speak better english and be fashionable and hip.
I should know, Ive been there for more than 2 decades and saw Sg grow and from their many open cogon fields develop into modern housing and urban centers.
Carabao English sounds awesome❤😊
We Filipinos could easily adjust our accents in every country we came to. Honestly, we have the well Balance way of speaking English or Neutral.
agree
Not really.
We love you Nelie and your sweetheart you’re so nice to us.
Aww thanks! Right back at ya! 😌
English is the universal language we need to learn it to communicate to other countries. ..but i like to learn thai language...
Nice vlog ms nelly!!keep the good vlog!!god bless!!
Thank you! You too!
I think the "accent" stems from the Filipino language using hard/short vowels. For example, we pronounce MABUHAY as M(ah)b(oo)h(ah)y. Our A is the short hard a, not soft-long æ. So we say (ah)pple instead of æpple. Same with E (eh instead of ee/uh), I (ee instead of ai), O (short o instead of oh), and U (oo instead of yu). Cucumber would be coocoomber instead of cyucumbuhr (although most who learned in school would know how to pronounce it of course) .
Got a point! 😅
Thanks Nelly to share this video, she's smart. I hope more videos to sharing us for our support of your channel. Thank you, be safe and GOD bless you always 🙏💖🙏💚🙏💗🙏💛🙏💜🙏💝🙏💙🙏.
Thank you so much 🤗
I was born during 90's era,. From kindergarten, grade school, highschool and college; we're taught to speak and spoke in English during classes. But of course during Filipino subject we need to speak and spoke in pilipino (tagalog) vernacular language. That's why our 2nd language is English. Because our English teacher taught us that English is a "Universal Language".
In today's generation, when it comes to ASEAN countries what I know regarding of ranking of knowledge proficiency of subjects- Mathematics, Science and English; Philippines is now behind Singapore.
Thanks for sharing! ☺️
You have accent too..its beautiful..
Yep thanks ☺️
because our language (filipino/tagalog) is mixed with spanish words we tend to pronounce as it is written… so we dont follow anyone accents but our own ..
plus of english language engagements like as in school, government, movies, musics and conversation physically… so each country has its own “pronunciation” due to its culture…
That's interesting! Thanks for sharing 🫶
Salamat dahil kinikilla ang pilipinas na isa sa mahusay sa ingles.malinaw pakinggan at madaling maintindihan.👍🏻❤

I loved her tone 😊
you are beautiful as always Ate Nelly!!!!! i love you, we love you!!!!
I 💯 agree with her ranking.
I'm a foreign national who is happily married to a Filipina. One of the advantages of Filipinos is their general proficiency in the English language, which is evident in almost all regions of the country. This proficiency can be attributed to the period of American colonialism, during which education and the introduction of the language were emphasized. This stands in contrast to neighboring countries, where language barriers often lead to translation challenges.
jiji just like a song 😅😅😅😅
Lol .....
from Philippine love this content
This is one reason that Philippine Education should be acknowledge and as par with International School.
My asawa is Filipina. I love her English accent. Her only issue is pronouns. She sometimes confuses him and her. But that’s understandable when the native word is not gender specific. She sometimes types good morning my wife to me. I return with good morning my husband. Then she gets it. 🤣 She is trying so hard to practice the correct pronouns. 🇵🇭🇺🇸🤙
🤣🤣🤣
The Jugde is absolutely correct. English is owr 2nd language since birth UpTo college.
Whats good in the Philippines is that common people can talk to english speaking foreigners a little bit.
Trueeee ☺️💯
Here in the Philippines we use & speak English language as a way of communication. It depends to our vocal voice expression...
Thanks for the info 😌
When im back for short vacation to my home.. i have 10 years old boy and 5 years old daughter and im surprised they speak very fluent and good in dection in English while talking to their school mate😅... Imagine we're living far in the city but kids while talking they speak English 😂.... I work here in Hong Kong and my employer used to play Filipino Kids RUclipsrs to their daughters just to improve their English speaking skills... Proud being Filipino ❤🇵🇭
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing! ☺️🫶
There are some Malay words that is similar to Ilocano Filipino dialect. For example ikan means fish also in Ilocano which is similar meaning in Malay. Mangan is eat in Malay and same in Ilocano. 😊We have a Malay blood..that’s why, we are a little bit of everything😅
even though I haven't degre but I can understand English and I can speak English little bet. because I learned it since I was young, my parents taught me basic words.we used alphabetical.you can see many English words every where here in the Philippines. that's the reason why Filipinos can understand English...you can hear English communication specially Sunday.after drinking alcoholic.😅
Good to know!
Dika na sana nag comment
Wait for the upcoming generations of English speakers in the Philippines. Hahahah! My nephew has never been in USA. But he speaks, and sounds just that. Hahah. There's actually allot of them.. actually I call them. The RUclips babys. Hehe.
I agree! Cheers to RUclips babies 😂
"Babies", hindi "babys". Huwag kasing mayabang.
Funny ka, obvious nman na sinadya maliin para lang cute. Ikaw ang mayabang🤣@@HunterPh
@@rommelbautista630 explain mi bat halatang sinadya para lang cute na sinasabi mo? Sige nga!
Yeah true. I'm amazed at how children learn so fast with the English language conversations nowadays. In 2020 my four year old grandkid speaks to me like an adult uttering words like complicated and embarassing. When he goes out to play with the local kids, she instantly switch to Tagalog as her playmates complain they don't understand her. Also at 4, another grandkid can speak extemporaneously in English and can speak Tagalog with an American accent.
Yeah, watch out for this new generation of Filipino EFL (English as a First Language) speakers and how they will revolutionize a new breed of English speakers who have not even started kindergarten yet.
Problems with advocates of the mother tongue first, may have to reconsider modifying their program.
During the pandemic kids are notallowed togo out so they watched English cartoonsand RUclipsm mostly learn to speak English
Filipinos are diverse in speaking English,depending on the local dialect they used thier accent in english is affected but the facts that if you soeak english you can communicate almost all Filipinos.
Yeah, this is true!
❤❤❤Awesome
When I was working with they americans or any other countries.They always ask me since when I learned to speak english. Because my english is good. I answered them since I start studying in Grade 1 because we have english subject in school.
Amazing!! 😌
Philippines' English is solid because it is recognized as one of the two national languages in the country. Together with Filipino which is the standardized Tagalog language
Yep! 💯
Specially now a days parents teaching their kids, speaking English.
The video ending seems to be cut?
Is there a part 2 on this?
I know the Singaporean speak because I worked in Singapore 34 years ago and they used a lot of British words because of colonial.❤
It very hard to understand English in Singapore.
Mabuhay!
Mabuhay!
good video Nelly but just it ended unfinished..I always waiting for your byes 😀.
Sorry! Next time!
I’m from Philippines. We learned the American English in school.
That's great! 😅💖
pinoys has the best english in all asia. japanese R is L . the Indians pronouns T like D .Singapore always has Lah~ somewhere which is very cute. Pinoy's english is besides the US and UK but that is overall. a lot of pinoys has bad english too. but we know how to answer yes, no and I don't know which is really big for foreigners. and the way we try to speak in english even if we have little knowledge especially the people from the province like guides and kuya guards.
@nelly you should learn tagalog. Imagine if you can be as good as will's tagalog.
Indians pronounce t as t its just your stereotype india is not a small country it has 22 official languages and 1000s of different language every language has different accent😂😂 most proper english is spoken in india
@@animex8129I have colleagues from India and they are very good at learning Filipino language and pronounce it pretty well while their english is good but the pronunciation is highly influenced by their thick Indian accent. Overall they are good in english and easy to understand. In all Asia I think it’s Philippines and India who has the highest English literacy simply based on my conversations with different nationalities in Asia.😊
Nice videos ma'am
Pls Nery try to enlarge your video post it's small maybe you can use half of your screen. Hehe just a suggestion tnx 😅😅😅 I've do have a blurred vision that why 😅😅😅
imagine being raised hearing the song "baby shark" before you learned your first word 😂
😂😂😂
Thats exactly correct. Filipinos follow the american english that is why the pronunciation is clear and audible. But most of our neighbors follow the british english because of political reason, accents and they believe it is the true origin of english language. Am i right? 😂😂😂😂😂
Filipino learned English from U.S.A cause they are the one educate Filipino when we are colony before.
MISS NELLY MAG ARAL KANA NG TAGALOG 😅😅
Hugs & kisses . .keepsafe nelly.
As a Filipino in Taiwan who teaches English as a part time.. we were colonized by the US. A lot of things here were influenced by Americans. Growing up, my parents used to believe that speaking good English will take us further in life in terms of career. I cannot recall the age I started learning English.. maybe since birth. Or maybe since I am inside the womb lol. I listened to american music, watched cartoons in English. All encyclopedias and almanacs for kids are in English. 10 years of basic Education and Filipino subject is the only subject where you are allowed to speak Filipino. I remembered there was a penalty for us when we speak Tagalog (like 5 pesos when someone heard you).
I didn’t like the culture where I was shamed for having bad grammar (by my fellow Filipinos). I always believed that speaking good Tagalog is where I should focus on since I am a Filipino. I do admire the countries that focus on preserving their language like Taiwan and Japan.. having good English is a plus but I think we should love our own and not shame others for speaking poorly in their second language.
My English never got better in the Philippines because I was often shamed for my shortcomings. I only improved here in Taiwan where I met my American friend who is very encouraging in almost all aspects of my life (and I had copied her accent I guess lol). Speaking another language requires confidence. Improving takes a lot of mistakes. So dont be ashamed to make mistakes. Just practice and it will get better. For me accents are beautiful. I dont mind when people say I have a Filipino accent when speaking in English. I am a Filipino, so I have that accent. :P
In the Philippines, English is learned in schools. So, one's proficiency in written or spoken English depends on his educational achievement and the quality of the school he has attended.
Like:
1. A graduate of Silliman University has better English than one who graduated from a state university at the hinterlands of Bohol Island.
2. A congressman whose formal schooling is 4th grade has terrible English as one who finished grade six from a barangay school.
🇵🇭 American English is one of our Subject in school 🏫
Amazing! Thanks for sharing! 😅
I taught in an ESL school and i asked my students why they chose to study English in the Philippines they said it was cheaper compared to other ESL schools.
🫶
Irony is most Asian countries are even studying english in the Philippines or hire Filipino teachers to teach them english😂
Back in my High School days I mean 1990, our English teacher will not allow us to speak our own language except English during our subject period, and we will be fined in certain amount that the whole class agreed upon, so unless you learned the word or the phrases to speak, you better keep your mouth shut, and as expected English period were the quietest moment, LOL and the same goes in College where our Teacher expects we can easily speak and communicate. These are the factors and the English movie and the songs, and our relatives abroad we really need to learn
Ohhh interesting!
Going back to my college years, my English Professor once told us that "ENGLISH IS A VERY TRICKY LANGUAGE", up until now I'm still thinking about it and can't forget it. 😅
He's got a point!😅😅
Just curious some of your videos ( I mean lots of them) you're always wearing those black v-shaped t-shirt?
that is because PH is taught american english as early prep school. kids these days speak english even before going to school, learning through youtube.
I love people.
When i was in uae and everytime i talked to my colleagues (indian,nepal,kenyan etc) i always said sorry my english is slow, they reply that my english is so textbook thats why i have difficulties but that pronunciation is more accurate than them,. Also they said never feel embarrassed if your english is slow,.it's just a language not an intellectual measurement,.as long as it's clear you're good,.
🤔
you sound like the female Arnold Schwarzenegger with the silent "R" like in his movies. very solid.👊🏼👍🏼😄
Funny
English is our second language. We have two sets of alphabet, english and filipino. Our text books are all in english the only required books in tagalog is in our filipino class. Our school is very strict with proper pronunciation and grammar. The accent cannot be avoided because of our native tongue and we speak many different dialect not to mention some spanish language integrated in our daily conversation from being colonized for over three hundred years.
Thank you for sharing!
We need Philippine people for English voice sentences recording projects
In Malaysian and Singaporean English, I've also noticed they add the word 'lah' after every sentence. They speak so fast that it seems they disregard punctuation marks. Personally, as a Filipino, I also prefer the Indian accent over the rest because although they have this rhythmic like tones their pronunciation is much clearer and they know when to end their sentences.
Thanks for pointing that out ☺️
Here again to show some love.
Hug&kiss...
Thank you so much 😘
English is much easier than Tagalog. The conjugation of Tagalog is mind boggling 🥰
But my proficiency in English is the same as my Tagalog. Cool
Thanks for sharing!! 😄
We are massive call center here 🤣😁👌
Filipino English accent is good for those learning English, since there a few “disappearing” or altered vowels or consonants. So as a learner, you hear what you read.. WATER is spoken as WATER… not WATUH, MORNING is not spoken as MOHNING
Ate Nelly, kumusta.
The younger generation of HK is quite good in English. I can understand them too.
Thanks for sharing 🫶
Correct Philippines speak good English ❤
💯🫶
you are so beautiful God bless
Thank you! You too!
i'm a Filipino i know i have a good accent and i think some people needs more practice to learn how to pronounce it well in natural way like the american accent without exaggeration...
