Differences between English speakers in the world.
Currently I teach English in several Asian countries, including Chengdu, China. I tell my students there are several forms of English spoken in the world. These locations include: Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Europe, United States and others. Each group has their own particular pronunciation, vocabulary, slang and sentence structure. Honestly, when I am with a mixed group of English speakers, I can only understand a portion of the conversation. I am a native American English speaker. I encourage my basic students to open their mouths and pronounce the sounds. I instruct them to pay particular attention with the endings of words. If the word is plural, the person must sound the "s". Best to all.

Language pair: English; Chinese, Mandarin
