How do people understands?

I'm Chinese and I can understand English perfectly fine. 

?They've probably been taught by schools, been exposed to that language as a kiddo or even taught themselves.

 

Maybe because the learned the language.


I suggest you do too.

 

I too am confuse.
There are different languages because this world is made up of different cultures. Language gaps sometimes make cultural gaps due to misunderstanding.
It sucks that we can't all just speak the same language, but nodoby wants to change the language they use. Also we can't just pick one and say it's better than another.
Praise google translate

 

Sorry dude/dudette i can't stop laughing, I won't even try to correct you...i didn't understand your question either ^.^

 

It's all about what you're exposed to. English is around a lot so many people have an idea of it at least.

For Filipinos, tagalog and english is are languages widely spoken and if you're Chinese-Filipino, like I am, you end up learning a bit more.

 

Question with a question. How do parents understand babies. Or people understand cats. Same premise sortof

 

I thought you were like British or something....

 

Is British not English now?

 

Well, just in this game, there are two separate campus chats — one for Asian languages and one for English. In the whole world in general, there are a lot of bi/tri/etc. lingual people. That's because in other countries, they actually learn other languages like English, unlike the crappy American school system.

Also, I highly doubt any celebrity would play this game.

I'm Chinese too and I know a lot of people who can speak multiple dialects of Chinese and some Korean, Japanese, etc. on top of English

 

I learned English and can speak and understand it, but i don't understand most of Tagalog nor hindi, for example.

 

Let me correct you: one chat is for NON ENGLISH languages, NOT ONLY Asian languages. African, European and central & south American are also in the Wrongly Called Asian campus.

 

Okay what she said

 

I'm not American but I know they learn other languages, the American school system isn't crappy.

 

I've had plenty of pupils/tuts/friends that were from Singapore,Dubai,India,Phillipines,etc etc that had more proper English than me, who was raised and spent practically my whole life in USA ..
If you have access to NHK channel, there are plenty of full Japanese reporters with perfect fluent English, better than mine 
I've also seen Caucasian reporters and their Japanese was on point?

 

I am American, and the American school system is crappy.

 

They take other language classes but in public schools, at least the ones I know of, you don't learn to be fluent in the language and you can't really speak the language on other countries. In middle school I spent three years just learning over and over how to conjugate ER verbs?

 

3 years?!? What about the other verbs like -IR and -RE? 

 

Well… we learned some irregulars. Etre and avoir aaaand that's it. Most of my time in French was spent doing homework from other classes

 

I'm Mixed but I speak and understand german from My Mom
