Nowadays wherever i work at town area i will get to see young singaporeans talk english with american accents. What’s more when they talk they give u a impression that they talk as if they’re very high class like that How come must they talk american accent english, talking correct singaporean english (Not singlish) is very low class meh?
I have this female friend that always come talk ang moh american accent with me but the grammar super fail. I worked in USA for years and i still return to Singapore and enjoy my local hokkien words and mixing multiple languages. I got irritated and i started to intimidate her.
Me: Why you speak with ang moh accent? Your foreigner?
Her: I hang out with my american friends regularly so i started to speak like them?
Me: Wah i work in US for several year but no ang moh accent lei. Don’t act one kind la. Your grammar also fail
After that she no longer speak the american accent and talk normally. Please la want act atas or act u ang moh pai go jia sai first la.
