Yes, UK dialects are notoriously variable. Even as a native speaker of (US) English, I'm always grateful for DVD's with English subtitles when there is dialect in films.

Thanks to better at English and also uncensored English my English is improved a lot and that's just because of you. Now I teach English besides my primary job too. By the way last June I was in the UK and as I was traveling in the UK , I noticed every 5 Kilometers the accent changes!! and it was a bit difficult for me to understand Scottish accent or Lancashire accent. May I ask you kindly in future whenever you have free time, discuss about different accents in the UK with Micheal and tell us why British accent is so hard sometimes for us to understand. However he has a very clear accent and I can understand him with no difficulty. We will be more happy to hear more from you and him. Thank you so very much :wink: Hi Lori,

There is no other way to master a foreign language, I mean, to listen and read texts at the same time. I believe there's not in the market such a kind of material because i've been surfing on Internet for a long time and up to know I didn't find similar stuff. You could develop this idea professionaly, of course, and I'm firmly convinced of its success. Only the difficult words and expressions would be explained to avoid going to dictionaries(waste of time). I see that the courses,in general, are commercial ones.They don't emphasize the listening comprehension and there's not a commitment with the desire of the student to achieve his goal. That's the reason most of the students give up studying a foreign language mainly because the speaking of the streets is completely different of the formal one of the books.

I'm glad you enjoyed the topic! Robin, sometimes I don't have time to log in and approve the comments right away. That's why you didn't see your comment. Unfortunately, I have to hold comments for approval because of the horrible spammers. Mero, for most purposes, you would say "I hate myself." (I hope you really don't say or think this about yourself!) You may at times hear people saying "I hate me," but that would be a special marked utterance. It's like taking a step outside yourself and observing your persona and commenting on it. Thanks for the nice comments, everyone. I’m glad you enjoyed the topic!
