Sometimes, I think foreigners are idiots...

...when I am here on campus and they can't pronounce some words very well. Or rather, I don't consciously think that they're idiots, but I find myself easily annoyed. Then I catch myself and I'm like, "Whoa, this person is speaking in a language that's not their own, yet fluently and articulately enough for me to (usually) understand what they're saying. Which is a hell of a lot better than I can do." Perhaps more people need to consider this.

....Just a random thought.

Yes, exactly!

I have to think much more when using english and be careful. And many amerikan words and things i cannot understand or maybe the pronounctions here in georgia and people may be impatient sometimes.

I am glad you thought of this. :D :D
 
English is my third language, I recently passed an exam that gives me the level to teach english is many countries.

you probably speak better than most americans then. go to the south, I don't know what kind of language they're speaking over there.
 
it's good to speak in a british accent in the US. people automatically think you're smart with that accent. however people will also think you're a bad guy because all the bad guys in Star Wars movies have british accents.
 
Good to see I got some replies. For a while there, I was afraid most people had just read the thread title without reading the thread and now considered me a biggoted bastard.

I'm out for the day; you guys and gals take it easy.:)
 
I have that issue with people that have thick southern accents.
growing up around rednecks conditioned me to think that accent means the person is likely gonna be an inbred retarded fella - but in reality, there are many people that are quite smart that have thick southern accents.

other people that you can't immediately discount are the French, midgets, hobos, and Mexicans.
Samoans are nearly a sure bet to be retarded though - so just write them off from a distance and be glad you aren't them.

I think we've all learned a lesson today.
 
it should be...

a requirement that one must speak english to get into this country.

thats fine!!!
 
Srappy do you live in the south of america? I am in georgia and so many of the pronounciations of words i could not understand at all! Amazing. Ex. people saying "own" when they mean "on". Also "fixin". WTF? I am fixin to go. I have even more trouble understanding some black americans.

I must say that i actually agree a bit with Caged. No i do think everyone should speak english already to come into america but i do think they should be made to learn it to a good level within a few years. In atlanta area i see a lot of spanish speaking people who even have gottten new houses and cars but still cannot actually speak any english at all. I could not belive this, but it is true.
 
American born, English first language, German second language, Dutch is third with French pulling in fourth.

Nothing is more frustrating than trying to speak the local language to, like, a store clerk then having that person you are speaking to hear your english/american accent and switch directly into english. I hate that.

Also, the Dutch are actually worse than the French when it comes to language snobbery. If you do not pronounce it EXACTLY the way they want to hear it they will pretend they do not understand.......... Even though they do!!! Magdelena, you KNOW what I'm talking about. It's even worse if you try to talk German to them.

Europeans are always so surprised when Americans can speak more than one language. Last week, hanging out at my local club, dutch girl stands next to me at the bar, obviously something is bothering her, as she was trying to get the barman's (friend of mine) attention and speak to him in dutch. I couldn't understand everything, so i ask her in english if I could help..... she looks at me like she did not understand a single word i said. (Fine I say to myself) so I start to talk to her in German.......well she turns to me in the most fluent, flawless english and says it is always preferable to speak English......... Surprised and"caught" her.

Oh, that was directed at me? I thought "cheeseheads" were people from Wisconsin. I'm from Arkansas- I think we're usually referred to as "dumb hicks" or something like that.

lol, ok man, i'll try to remember that for the next time.
 
Getting slightly off topic here, I have to say that aside from accents, Polish people defintely fit the stereotype. Often times, they really are super dumb.

I'm half polish and I often do shopping at local Polish bakeries, delicatessens, and other stores and I'm surprised just how dumb they are just from watching them walk through the door, ordering food, and getting back to their cars.

Here's an example:

I go to a Polish bakery to buy some stuff and I wait in a HUGE line. Every single one of those fuckers waited till the last minute to decide what they wanted. They didn't have their order ready till they got to the front (which took like 3 fucking hours). Furthermore, when the order was complete, they didn't have their money ready and took even more time. Any other bakery woulda had that line killed in 10 minutes.

Next, I finally complete my order and turn to leave and I get to the door. As I open the screen door to get out, a lady is standing in my way telling me to go. Now, mind you, if I woulda did that the door would slam in her face. We argued for like 15 seconds on who should go first.

I thought it was all over when I made my way to the car but NOOOOOO. One guy made 3 seperate moves to back out of his space almost running another guy over. Some lady spilled her bag of stuff trying to get in her car instead of simply putting her bag down. Some family almost got clobbered trying to pull out of the parking lot...the list goes on and on....

Moral to the story? I'm glad my polish mom married my ecuadorian dad.

dude it sounds like you were dealing with old people.
 
I simply hate people talking to me. English, Russian, Tagalog doesn't matter.
Whenever someone I'm not extremely close to begins talking to me I instantly begin thinking, "Who the hell is this person? Do I care about their weekend, do *they* care about my weekend? Is she an A or C cup?"
