I hear the English can speak English quite well

[T-A]

Yes, but then there is the "sun" part...

[dmoo]

Us Irish also have some ability.

[noir_lord]

As an Englishman perhaps not as well as you would think.

[zerr]

Yes, when I watch some British TV shows I hear a lot of pronunciations I was taught was wrong in school.

[imtringued]

But it's not the same old english that mama used to speak...

[Natanael_L]

We Swedes too, for that matter.

[astrange]

I had the strangest problem with Swedes where they'd seem to speak perfect English, but repeatedly mishear me as saying something offensive and never stop to make sure.

Actually I think I mentioned "cutting myself shaving" to someone and they apparently to this day believe I'm suicidal.
