What's the use of learning English ?
Learning English is being as the best option for Survival, to have a dignifies Status,
good remuneration, job satisfaction, and being socially so fit.
Is the U K slang is good or the U S slang is good ?
The U S slang is good. For it has many advantages - we spell the words in syllable
method, that takes some more time, but the listener will be comfortable and will
have some more time, so he or she can understand better of the word being said.
By this method, one can easily remember the spelling.
Because of being bit slow that would make one to be so steady and so apt in
pronouncing a word. By this method we give good stress to each and every word.
And we do also have little more time to pronounce the word so stylishly.
Now the American way of speaking is being the advanced version of English. But
the only draw back is, the Americans do not give more importance to Grammar.
And by learning this American way of English, one can go to any Foreign Nation.
One can a good job in any good Company.
