Someone needs to watch “Better Off Dead!”
“Ricky, this is Monique!”
Wicky.
I’ve met guys who learned English from Red Dwarf (sound Scouse) and EastEnders (sound Cockney).
For sure this is a thing.
Also a bartender who had a Scottish “regular” so spoke English with his accent (the bar was in Amsterdam).
Huge fan of Red Dwarf, what the hell is a Scouse? Is that the proper term for Smeghead?
It’s the Liverpool accent.
I used duolingo to learn Italian, nothing ever stuck…so i decided to ad in Italian shows and movies. Didn’t help either, i think my storage must be filled up or faulty.
Don’t feel bad about the duo lingo, it’s not meant to actually work. There’s a video my girlfriend showed me recently, if I can maybe find it…
I find that it’s a decent replacement to learn basic vocabulary and that’s about the extent.
Yeah it’s decent for expanding or refreshing a language you’re already at an intermediate level at. I can’t imagine learning from scratch on it.
As a Japanese person, I find it really cringey when people speak like anime, but I do my best to applaud their efforts because no matter how silly it may sound, they appreciate my culture enough to want to learn.
Dattebayo!
