Ok this survey was for my friend Bailys* went to England with my family then returned to America.
Did you feel self conscience about how you spoke (the words you used your accent )when you were in common situations (ordering food going to the bank (as if:))?
Were you ever confused by the way British people were talking? why?
Did you find the way you spoke had changed once you returned to America?
This one was for my friend Guinness*. She is from England and spent a great deal of time with "the Americans".
What was the strangest difference in the way we (the Americans) spoke?
where you ever confused by what we were saying?
What words did we use that you were... unfamiliar with?
Did you ever feel a little self conscience about the way you spoke when you met Coke-Colas* parents/family and friends? or when you were just at the dinner table with use?
Where there times when you said something you felt we didn't get?
Do you feel the way you speak has been changed after spending time with "the Americans"?
This one is Guinness' husband. he was born in America then moved to England to marry Guinness. His name is Coke-Cola.
Have there been times were you have know idea what people are talking about?
Do you ever feel self conscience about the way you speak around Guinness and her friends?
Do you feel the way you speak now is different from when you lived in the US? do you feel this was at all influenced be the British way of speaking?
