I am NOT a Native Singaporean

[elrhiarhodan]

Because I am a sheep (with a most luxurious fleece and outrageously long eyelashes), I needed to take the "What English Are You" quiz that my most lovely enabler, sinfulslasher mentioned on her LJ.

It seems that I am actually a native Singaporean. Or an Australian. Or maybe Welsh. Definitely NOT a Native New Yorker. Heaven forbid!



See how messed up the quiz is when you take it!

Singaporean, American (Standard), Italian.

Vietnamese, English, Swedish.

Native language is German, though. Don't know how I made all these Asian dialects. Would have thought the algorithm would be more accurate than with other languages, seeing as German and English are very closely related. Huh.

In a word, Wortstellung.

It's what trips up English speakers in speaking German, and probably goes the other way as well.

To paraphrase one of my German teachers, you COULD say something a certain way (and not have it be technically incorrect)... but nobody does. English is the same!
