<P>well it's not really a problem from my point of view, cuz last time when i was in Singapore i spoke perfect Singlish, yes right, Singlish, I'm totally adapted with Singaporean accent that no one could differentiate me from a real local student. But now I'm in Canada, and found it quite easy to change the accent to a American or say Canadian one. So thread starter, no worries... </P><P>If u wanna learn another accent, watch more american movies will do... </P>

never mind. language is just a communication tool,as long as you can use it to express yourself well, that is all. just like chinese language, the south of china is different with north of china

<P>the matter of environment la, if you can speak singlish freely, go to enrope, automatically you can follow the way of their speaking, Not much differences in grammar, it is just the accent, isnot it?</P>

<P>I agree that language only serves as a tool,</P><P>but I will make an effort not to end my sentences with words like "lah" or "loh".
