Im 16 and and my friend mike always corrects me when i say im not bilingual and i speak American… Is he stupid or something? Of course I speak American! just like Mexicans speak Mexican, or English people speak English or how Indians speak Indians!!! How should I tell him that he isnt a bright boy? only serious answers please.
American is not a language. (Neither is Mexican, for the record. They speak Spanish in Mexico.) American English is a dialect of English, but the language itself is English.
ummm-you speak the English language….sorry-he’s right
american isnt a language its a dialect
mexicans dont speak mexican they speak spanish
indians dont speak indian they speak farsi among others
youre friend inst the only one thats not too bright
"American" is a subset of the English language. You speak English (albeit not very well).
WOW
…PLEASE tell me you’re joking. If you truly believe this, I’m sorry to say it..but you’re stupid. That is such an ignorant thing to say.
Exactly! I’m fluent in Canadian and I’m learning New Zealand.
the distinction between ‘language’ and ‘dialect’ is hard to pinpoint. Do you want to argue, then, ok, you speak American English (maybe midwestern, southern, eastern seaboard American English??)
I think it’s the same thing. As long as you understand each other.
You speak American English and Mexican Spanish/
In america we speak american
