English Accents and Dialects: An Introduction to Social and Regional Varieties of English in the British Isles - Arthur Hughes and Peter Trudgill

This quote a été ajouté par brianpitts
When foreign learners of English first come to the British Isles, they are usually surprised (and dismayed) to discover how little they understand of the English they hear. For one thing, people seem to speak faster than expected. For another, the English that most people speak seems to be different in many ways from the English they have learned. While it is probably differences of pronunciation that will immediately strike them, learners may also notice differences of grammar and vocabulary.

Also, I think they are incredibly disappointed that we mostly don't speak in the cute upper-class british accent, they probably like/find sexy.
