yeah every Filipinos knew how to manage They speaking even fast or slow thats why many Tourist came to 🇵🇭 because they already knew the different accent from different country
Most native english-speakers and monolingual english-speakers from the anglic countries use english dialects which are truly different from the standard IPA English.
Because the standard of fluency here in the Philippines was too high, Kaya minsan mas magaling tayo pag walang nakikinig Kasi takot tayo ma judge,,,,, me too my English is better when I'm here in the house but when talking to someone, like what the hell,,, nakaka mental block
Same. Fun fact: I always get nervous whenever I have a phone call meeting with my british counterparts at work because I am having a hard time understanding them because of the accent. It's like Im always talking yo Harry Potter or something.. heheh🤣🤣🤣
Filipino actually don't care about how their english speaking voice. In fact they make fun of their own accent. But when a Filipino needs to be serious about speaking in english their grammar is on point and their pronunciation is clearer than the diamonds.
I have student from Japan and - i asked him to listen to different speeches and interviews from different people from all.over the world who speaks in English.. and he says that he can understand The English from a Flipino accent more than any other English accents.
This subject had been discussed by Jessica Lee a Korean who learned to speak English growing up in the Philippines. Titled "Why I Love Filipino English" on YT. I agree with her statement, I like Philippine English, easily understood by other Asians and has a more respectful tone. While American English (my opinion) comes out too blunt and arrogant. It can be easily changes to the way the American style accent but to regular Filipinos it is more posh.
@@hello1868 SORY, BUT YOU DIDN'T GET HER POINT. MAYBE YOU ARE TAKING IT LITERALLY. WHAT SHE WAS TRYING TO SAY WAS THAT, SHE CAN HEAR VERY CLEARLY ALL THE WORDS THAT NO ONE CAN'T MISUNDERSTAND IT.
It's unfair to compare who's the best...English is not the first language of the Philippines but Filipinos speak beautiful English because it's very clear in all methods and manners.
Go for it... Filipinos have Philippines English accent and we were also taught proper grammar. But when I moved to USA.. they don’t care about grammar or accent.. they just want to understand what you are saying even with the broken English. Not unless you want yo be a writer/ journalist.. then you must have the proper grammar
As a Filipino, I can say that I agree that better grammar is better than perfect accent. But it depends on where you are and who the people you are talking to. If you are inside Korea, good grammar is good. But if you will go to the US and speak English with heavy Korean accent, American people will find it hard to understand you. They may also look down to you and might even tell you bad things. Bottom line, speaking good grammar and perfect accent depends on where you are and who the people you are talking to.
For me, its Philippines accent because their english is easy to understand and also I found out that they mix spanish,english and tagalug when they talk but still they are fluent in english and their own language... It amaze me
We may speak English fluently, but speaking purely in our national language, Tagalog, is slowly beginning to fade. The Filipino language is more of a combination of Spanish, English, and Tagalog. There will be a time when speaking in pure Tagalog will be heard only at cultural events. That is the sad reality of our national language today. Because the average age of Filipinos is between 25 and 30, most of us are millennials. We are influenced by social media and different cultures, especially western ones, so speaking in English is just normal for us. Sometimes the babies learn their first word in English.
For beginners the Philippine English is the clearest of them all. Philippine English is simple and easy to understand and people pronounce the words clearly. If you are a beginner, Philippines is the place to go. Once you learn the basics, you can learn further in England or America to improve your accent.
I'm from Philippines and i really love how British speaks, the way they say water as wotah, but i can't clearly understand without reading any subtitle.
Lets compare the English word "Caramel" In American English: Car-mel But in Filipino English we say 💭: Ca-ra-mel it means we say 💭 it according to the spelling of the words or in syllables rather that's why our version is very clear to hear. Thats why ASIANS are very good in SPELLING BEE 🐝 just saying purr
@@Renzeee30 it also depends on how teachers told you about prouncing some words. Like our teacher told us some words that interesting or chocolate should pronounce like in-tres-ting and choc-let. And it makes my Filipino-English like natural English-American.
I am a Filipino, when I speak English I focus on clarity of my pronunciation so that the other person can understand what I am saying.. Second is I give attention to my grammar..😘😘😘
Well I'm a Filipino-Spanish and currently living here in the Philippines since when I was in High school and I could say that! Filipino has the best accent in English because you'll understand 'em clearly because when they started to speak English they don't talk fast and they deliver it well and their grammars are actually impressive and on point (well a bit sad because in the Philippines having a poor English is kinda like a "weakness" for them not the term but I think that's a good way to say) compared to other countries like for example in UK English (British) they don't call it or say it those words directly because I used to live there for months and for me it was a bit hard to communicate with them (well their language is English but what I'm pointing out here is about those vocabularies of them) because one time I asked my British friend to go in my apartment but he was just like "what? You mean to your flat?" And also the "Comfort room" they call it toilet knowing the toilet is in the comfort room or cr (in the Philippines) Edit: DISCLAIMER! I'm not saying that Uk English is bad but maybe because it's kinda like "old version" of english (well English was found in the Uk) so maybe yup it's kinda like old fashioned way of their speaking. And!!!! I do really love their accent! I love to do it tbh lol.
"Filipinos in general, can mimic any english accent if we want to even the accent of native speakers".. but we have our own different personality in speaking the language conversationally, we call it Filipino English.. :)
As someone who lives in a specific region in the Philippines, it was already compulsory to be trilingual so I might be completely biased when I say a Filipino-English accent is very well spoken. That said, I will just provide minor explanations. I could talk about everything but I dont have time. Languages such as Japanese and Korean limits the ability to pronounce hard R's correctly together with the need to end a stand-alone consonant with an "eu" vowel sound. Languages such as Scottish and French deliver english in a way that can fumble up syllables that feature double consonants such as "sh" and "ch" and I find the intonations to be messy at some points. Languages such as Indian and Spanish have this specific tone when pronunciating vowels or vowel sounds that I find distracting.
Traveling to several places around the globe, I find myself being often confronted by folks who were clearly surprised at the ease by which I speak the language. I'm frequently asked where I learned to speak english. My stock answer: "I'm Filipino." That seemed to be widely accepted as a proper succinct explanation.
Flipino english has the best enunciation, imo. I remember watching a video of Lea Salonga and someone wrote a comment about how even the auto-generated captions understood her every word. So I got curious and turned on the subtitle, and it was true. Every word was correct unlike in videos with native english speakers where some captions are wrong.😂
One time, I happened to have a conversation with this American. What he first observed was my english - how I speak english. He was like "I love your english... love your accent." Btw, I'm a Filipino.
That was her interpretation of a Filipino accent... bad as it was that’s what she thought Filipinos sound like... she also attempted a British accent and it sounded bad. I don’t see British people talking about it till today.. infact it was seen as meh another foreigner trying to sound like us. Why was that such a sore point for Filipinos?
i'd been here in sydney for 31 years, being exposed to the aussie accent. strange that i have not evolve into sounding like an aussie. my english hi-school teacher together with my english speaking classmates had a strong influence on my english accent, a baguio city-ish english accent, which i think is distinct and universal. on my twilight years, i may never change my filipino accent nor try to modify it.
Well some Filipinos can talk English directly to the person but some Filipino are shy to speak English directly (they don't know how to express it) but in writing they are good. That's why if they met Foreigner, they are shy at first but in their mind, they want to practice english in foreigner. Some Filipinos need more practice but don't underestimate them once they learn speak english properly.
I'm a Filipino but for me I understand everyone's accent. I personally believe that there's no such a perfect accent in speaking in English and any other languages.
The Philipoines has the best english in the whole world not because Im a Filipino but in school there's always an english subject where we write formal theme depending on the topic the teacher wants and errors during writing are corrected with red ballpen like spelling, wrong use of words in a sentence or wrong grammar and the like.. in oral communication as well we are taugh by our english teachers to pronounce the words correctly and clearly and the proper thing to say it so as we study, our english just gets better as we enter into another level of each year of learning and studying with all the subjects in general and english is one of the toughest I must say and it just keeps improving until such time you are confident to speak english...filipinos speak english in a natural and and clear manner that a foreigner could really understand.. not exagerrating or over as we filipinos call it and trying hard lol! We Filipinos are versatile english speakers.. We can do british, american, australian, indian, italian, south african, korean accent just name it lol because Filipinos are multi-talented .. from singers, actors, beuty titlist, and to any occupation from nurses, caregivers and so on that is why foteigners love to hire Filipinos because of good communication skills and hard work and dedication to one's work/job! God bless us all Filipinos here in the Phiippines and abroad! stay humble and God-fearing!
For me the RP(Queen’s English) accent is the clearest accent i could think of. Not trying to mock other accents, but what it makes it to stand out is that it sounds posh and powerful, and it’s very attractive.
In the Philippines, neutral accent is in encourage because of various of languages that exists from the 17 different regions. We recognized that we used English words in our various languages.With that, it should be pronounced or mixed as it is part of a language. So, when we speak in English correct pronunciation and neutral accent is encourage following American pronunciation and spelling. Local names of Persons and places retained. With the Philippine Literature written in English from various backgrounds. Original Pinoy Music (OPM), and many others..., after all PHILIPPINE ENGLISH exists......, Plus, majority of subjects schools are in English such as English, Math, Science etc.
Im from the Philippines, since I grow up with a Filipino neutral accent I would choose our own, however, if you ask me aside from my own comfort zone I would choose the British accent. IDK why I kinda understand them well.
As a Filipino, I can say that Welsh accent and Australian accent are kind of hard to understand for me. I mean I can barely understand them and but I can still continue conversing with them.
here in the Philippines, even though English is not our first language but still we can speak English fluently and clearly as crystal. and we can adopt any kind of accent from all over the world upon hearing their versions of English.
But compared to other Asian countries, most people in Philippines can speak in English unlike Indonesia, others are above 10 yrs but still can't speak proper english
@@konatachan7059 english language of indonesians and the rest of southeast asians (except singaporeans) is just like the filipinos' spanish and arabic languages. Do most filipinos speak spanish or arabic?
FILIPINO has trouble pronouncing F and V..as well mixed up or confused with the she and he / her, his and him. F became P. example: FISH became PISH. PARTY became FARTY. V became B example: very became bery. My English is BERY good and, I'm going to my PREND MARY'S FARTY tonite. HE will cook my PABORITE POOD. PISH is my PABORITE...
I love all proper english vrrsions. American, UK, Philippines, Australian etc... i guess it depends on the speaker if he/she is confident, articulate and speaks intelligently.
I talked to several native speakers like Americans and Australians. There are a little bit distractions on their accents (pronunciations) that hinders me to comprehend. Filipinos, who are educated with the English language, as they are very critical in terms of grammar and sounds, have the best pronunciation I ever had. It's clear and well understood.
Wow, after reading several comments below it's obvious you have quite a large Filipino audience. I am Filipino myself & spent half of my life in California. I would say Australian accent is my first preference, second is the American accent.
From what I can remember thru my favorite elementary English teacher, she taught us the International Standard English in grammar, spelling, speech, literature, etc. She even trained us to speed read comprehensively & play the Scrabble to widen our vocabulary.
I'm from the Philippines but British accent is my most favorite accent. Makes me talk to them the whole day just listening the way they talk haha 😅 but still PILIPINS POR THE WIN 😅
I'm half British and half Filipino, I didn't know that I'm a Filipino since I was a kid, literally, I was learned by my mom and, Now I'm travelling to the Philippines to see my own country, literally I love the view of the mountain and I cried too much! Yeah I even didn't know how to do a Filipino accent but I only speak Bisaya with a British accent but soon as I speak in Bisaya accent, it gets the result that my accent was literally stronger because Bisaya when they speak, they speak like a hard kicked
@@chrisposhy9322 if you really want to know how to speak tagalog or bisaya then you need to stay longer on the Philippines. The longer you stay the fluent you will become in speaking our language 😅☺️
I am from the small country of Finland. My first language is Swedish (minority) and Finnish is my second. I’ve been taught British in school (probably for 10 years+). I prefer the American version of English since I’ve been exposed to it so much in media, etc. Canadian English sounds similar to me so I like it very much. The reason why I don’t like the British version is because it sounds so preppy and royal. It’s probably the most correct version but it doesn’t sound like you could use it in an everyday situation. Love from Finland 🇫🇮
TBH a lot of people here in Philippines likes to make funny accent of their English pronunciations 😂🤣😂🤣 Some people likes it too cuz it sounds really funny 🤣 but when we need to speak English formally we can easily change our accent to American or British accent. Some people here in PH don't know how to fluently speak English but they also know a lot of basic phrases that are needed when you are talking with an English person.
I called my husband my “walking dictionary” we are American citizen now. He is my grammar teacher and yesterday I asked him “ what is right” “to go with me or to come with me”? He said I don’t know seems both is ok. Then he laughed and said since we came here and been talking to Americans, I lost my grammar, Lol.
For me..Filipinos have the best English enunciation when it comes to speaking English..it depend whom we are speaking with. .from local..we can easily switch to american; british,australian.. to singaporean.korean..you can name all..and Filipinos dont just speak English..they can write..read,speak,spell english..
Man, you are putting me on the spot with this question. In my book, it's like asking the child, "Who you like more daddy or mommy?" I mean, daddy is an American accent and mummy is a British accent. So I am like that little child that has to choose between his kind and beautiful mother and reasonable but strict father. So for my liking British accent sounds more sophisticated and beautiful, whereas the American one is just more practical to know because, let's make no bones about it, the American accent is more commonly used all over the world. So my heart with the British accent and my mind with the American one. To cap it all, it would be great to learn them both or at least understand them equally. Speaking of me, I would stick to the American one, not that I like him more, but because it's just more practical and useful. Cheers!
Filipino english varies in different levels: elite, educated, uneducated. Of course a lot of people sees us uneducated and speaks english poorly but hey, we did not beat India as the no.1 english speaking BPO country for nothing. Educated Filipinos speaks crisp, clear and more neutral english accent. It is what you always hear talking to call center agents. The elite (high social class) speaks pseudo-american/british accents which is phoney sounding and somewhat pretentious.
i very much agree. Sometimes I don't like how rich people speak english like they're so maarte u know, as compared to native american speakers.. i hope i didn't offend anyone. lol
sir for your information the Philippines got the number one spot for BPO, speaking of BPO many western countries including indian investor they now tranfer it to the Philippines, its because lndian accent is hard to understand
The most understandable English is Philippines' English. There's not one perfect accent in all English countries, the Londoners is different from Wales, same is true with USA. The southerners accent differ from northern states. All I can say is it doesn't matter. What is important is we understand each other.
Philippines was influenced by Americans , only it was twisted by local vowel sound by time , so now we have our own Philippine English version ..only Americans can distinguish which is proper...and not irritating to hear..anyway what is the most important is that we can communicate very well ...at the end of the conversation..what do you think sir...any English will do ,searching for the best? you'll do the scaling.. ok have a wonderful day...goodluck
There are a lot of British people in Spain, there are British towns and villages in Spain, created to cater for British ex-pats, they've got chip shops, marmite, British pub and restaurant chains, supermarkets, it's big business for Spain - the Costa del Sol, huge numbers whose first language is English in fact in many cases whose only language is English, estimated at 310,000 people, it's the largest group of British ex-pats globally.
He's very cute when he realizes that he's veered away from the actual point of his video (this video): which version of English do you like the most :)
"best" is subjective in terms of preference on which is easier to understand or more pleasant to hear. even if for many people, a particular version or accent is the easiest to understand and most pleasant to hear, some people may still find another one which they prefer.
I'm filipino and I grew up in the Philippines. In my opinion, filipino English is definitely my favorite! not because I'm filipino though, im pretty sure if I wasn't filipino I'd still have the same answer. I'm glad we're fluent in english, while also maintaining fluency in our native language like Tagalog.
As a non native speaker of English from the beginning of my English learning I have started to expose myself to British English, American English, Australian English or Kiwi English (New zealand) It seems to me that English spoken by native speakers is much more challanging to comperhand than English spoken by non native speakers.
this is a very subjective topic. i also think that britain's english is the standard but i grew up in a country where american english is well recognized.but i love my flipino english.
I like the cockney accent and new york accent just because it sounds tough mob like. I feel like i need that accent. Also the boston accent sounds really tough.
I'm à Filipino & traveled in Europe & have spoken with the Welsh, Irish, British, Americans, Canadians. For me, it's Canadian English, and for Filipino English - it's - Cebuano English; Manileno English. Igorot English
...I came to America in '85...my coworker a white American lady said to me...and I will never forget what she said ... "speak English like you normally speak in your own country...don't loose your accent"...she loves listening to my Filipino accented English!!!...and I still do to this moment!!!...
I think southern States have a very thick american accent ,and it's sometimes hard to understand .To me West Coast american accent is the easiest to understand. But I think it all comes down to education ,usually educated people no matter where they come from, will have a better pronunciation and they will be more open to "criticism",which would open the doors for improvement.
I live in USA for 40 years and I still have my Philippines English accent I was told a few times I sounded sexy with my accent I was also told many times that I don’t have accent
@@julietacastillo3803 yeah having a fil-eng accent means u have a clear pronunciation and having a clear pronounciation make them think u have no accent. For example we know british accent is like they pronounce water as wo-tah and having an Italian accent is like they pronounce pl-eh as play. Means that if you pronounce words clearer than the original version it makes them think that you have no accent. But tbh I dunno what makes Fil accent an accent or whatever. I dunno kk bye (¬_¬)ﾉ ಥ⌣ಥ
I am much more used to American accent (there is not a huge difference between states from mt point if view). I more used to what I would call "standard American", I have difficulties to understand some forms that speak too fast or without much articulation. As for England accents, i tend to feel it sound somehow weird. BBC english us quite clear, but I have often great difficulties to understand more everyday accents with English spellings. As for Australian or New Zealander, I have no idea if how it specufically sound. It us said that somehiw between British and American?... What about Nigerian accents ? Nigeria us soon becoming the most populated English speaking country.
Language is just a medium for communication, accent doesn't matter at all, as long you are capable of communicating and expressing yourself, then that's it.
Hey we all know that the British accent or English is the most music like English there is, but we are missing the point... The toipc here is which English from a non-English native speaking nation would you say is the best English spoken... I think my country the Philippines is No.1 then followed by the people from India...
Long time back Philippines was colonized by different countries last was America thats why American Accent or Language adapted and learned by Filipinos like me🥰 American English its our 2nd Language in Philippines. In every Filipino child once we will enrolled in a Nursery School we already learned English and we use English as our Daily conversation mix with our Tagalog language. Even we're a Poor country but Im very proud to say that We are Educated as we have a lot of Government schools with Free tuition fees, our government given students scholarship and allowances.. I am really proud being a Filipino so if ever any other Nationalities criticizing our Nationality I will gonna fight for it what ever it takes as filipinos said Even we will die as long as we defend our country... So whoever any nationality criticize us the way we talk or express any words in English pls message me and we gonna talk either an American or a British English!!!
Well, I'm Kurdish and though I think that the British English may sound more clear and proper to non-native ears (that mostly sounds like newsreading or poetry to me), for the same reason the American one makes it easier to compensate my pronunciation mistakes and gives me more confidence while speaking.
For us filipinos, Grammar and Pronunciation is VERY important! We used to be bullied if we mispronounced or we have mistakes in grammar, that's why we spoke English perfectly!
@Lalealyn but English is our 2nd official language.. almost all of the Philippine population can speak English..and we can imitate Spanish accent..we can do different accents
@@adrianwakeisland4710 you are talking nonsense. Of course, If you are a Filipino, English is not your 1st language but 2nd, 3rd or even 4th language. Like in my case, English is my 4th Language since I was born in Leyte who speaks Bisaya, then my mom is from Tacloban who speaks Waray, but then the national Language of Philippines is Filipino/Tagalog and English is taught in school same as Filipino. In short my first language is Bisaya, then Waray, then Filipino/Tagalog and then English. But I can speak all 4 languages fluently. Though some kids tend to speak English as a first language as thier parents train them to speak English at a young age, but as they grow older and with peer influence they naturally switch to speak Filipino than English. Unless if any or both of your parents are foreigners and English is the language u used at home.
If this helps, I was born in England and spoke a regional English, I moved to Australia and now sound Australian, I love the American English and I think the Russian English is the best. The Russian English is not dramatic. I do think any Country trying to learn English will find it very hard as we have so many words that sound the same that are spelt differently and there are words written that sound very different to how you say them. Silent letters for example colour, telephone -the ph sound as - 'f' and there are many others. I am visiting England and got stuck through Covid and they cannot understand my Australian language all the time and I cannot understand all the English variances. So it is more of what region of English do each Country speak. America have regions where they speak with more accents, Australia has an accent for each State and then there are the Aborigines who speak over 140 different languages. England has a different accent for everywhere. So whoever tries to speak English will depend on how the tutor speaks in the first place. Most of the Foreign Countries speak a form of American as they watch American shows, even in Australia if young kids watch too many American shows they speak with an American accent as they hear that more then their own language. In America you either speak fast as Superman says, but you also have areas where they speak very slow with a very accented variation of American - the drawl. So I hope this has helped and not confused you.
That’s right I agree with you. Why? American and European English are hard to understand for the other countries, but they easily understand Filipino English accent. It’s akward right but it’s true. Some people think when you have a good accent you’re the best in English but not, It’s how you communicate by interacting other people with clear and understandable communication.
I am from Thailand and I love Philippines English. Clear pronunciation not likely American English they speak fast
yeah every Filipinos knew how to manage They speaking even fast or slow thats why many Tourist came to 🇵🇭 because they already knew the different accent from different country
We actually use the IPA pronunciation so yeah we articulate based on international standards.
Most native english-speakers and monolingual english-speakers from the anglic countries use english dialects which are truly different from the standard IPA English.
From thai but have an uploaded video on his channel about adarna lmao, pinoy pride thing as usual.
we can mimic other english accents too :D
I'm a Filipino and I don't know why when I am alone, my English was really well but when I talk to someone. Like wth.

I couldn't agree more.
We may speak English fluently, but speaking purely in our national language, Tagalog, is slowly beginning to fade. The Filipino language is more of a combination of Spanish, English, and Tagalog. There will be a time when speaking in pure Tagalog will be heard only at cultural events. That is the sad reality of our national language today. Because the average age of Filipinos is between 25 and 30, most of us are millennials. We are influenced by social media and different cultures, especially western ones, so speaking in English is just normal for us. Sometimes the babies learn their first word in English.
For beginners the Philippine English is the clearest of them all. Philippine English is simple and easy to understand and people pronounce the words clearly. If you are a beginner, Philippines is the place to go. Once you learn the basics, you can learn further in England or America to improve your accent.

But in Filipino English we say 💭: Ca-ra-mel it means we say 💭 it according to the spelling of the words or in syllables rather that's why our version is very clear to hear. Thats why ASIANS are very good in SPELLING BEE 🐝 just saying purr
Then how do you pronounce onomatopoeia?
@@Renzeee30 o-no-ma-to-pee-ya
@@Renzeee30 it also depends on how teachers told you about prouncing some words. Like our teacher told us some words that interesting or chocolate should pronounce like in-tres-ting and choc-let. And it makes my Filipino-English like natural English-American.
I'm indian and I noticed a few similarities in the way we pronounce these words 😃
I am a Filipino, when I speak English I focus on clarity of my pronunciation so that the other person can understand what I am saying.. Second is I give attention to my grammar..😘😘😘
Well I'm a Filipino-Spanish and currently living here in the Philippines since when I was in High school and I could say that! Filipino has the best accent in English because you'll understand 'em clearly because when they started to speak English they don't talk fast and they deliver it well and their grammars are actually impressive and on point (well a bit sad because in the Philippines having a poor English is kinda like a "weakness" for them not the term but I think that's a good way to say) compared to other countries like for example in UK English (British) they don't call it or say it those words directly because I used to live there for months and for me it was a bit hard to communicate with them (well their language is English but what I'm pointing out here is about those vocabularies of them) because one time I asked my British friend to go in my apartment but he was just like "what? You mean to your flat?" And also the "Comfort room" they call it toilet knowing the toilet is in the comfort room or cr (in the Philippines)
Edit: DISCLAIMER! I'm not saying that Uk English is bad but maybe because it's kinda like "old version" of english (well English was found in the Uk) so maybe yup it's kinda like old fashioned way of their speaking. And!!!! I do really love their accent! I love to do it tbh lol.

"Filipinos in general, can mimic any english accent if we want to even the accent of native speakers".. but we have our own different personality in speaking the language conversationally, we call it Filipino English.. :)
As someone who lives in a specific region in the Philippines, it was already compulsory to be trilingual so I might be completely biased when I say a Filipino-English accent is very well spoken. That said, I will just provide minor explanations. I could talk about everything but I dont have time.
Languages such as Japanese and Korean limits the ability to pronounce hard R's correctly together with the need to end a stand-alone consonant with an "eu" vowel sound. Languages such as Scottish and French deliver english in a way that can fumble up syllables that feature double consonants such as "sh" and "ch" and I find the intonations to be messy at some points. Languages such as Indian and Spanish have this specific tone when pronunciating vowels or vowel sounds that I find distracting.
Filipinos have a very good english accent and I like the way they talk..so clear and fluent..🙌
Traveling to several places around the globe, I find myself being often confronted by folks who were clearly surprised at the ease by which I speak the language. I'm frequently asked where I learned to speak english. My stock answer: "I'm Filipino." That seemed to be widely accepted as a proper succinct explanation.
Flipino english has the best enunciation, imo.
I remember watching a video of Lea Salonga and someone wrote a comment about how even the auto-generated captions understood her every word. So I got curious and turned on the subtitle, and it was true. Every word was correct unlike in videos with native english speakers where some captions are wrong.😂
One time, I happened to have a conversation with this American. What he first observed was my english - how I speak english. He was like "I love your english... love your accent." Btw, I'm a Filipino.
make that korean actress lee da hye see this so she could be aware of what the hell she's talkin' about
Lee Da Hye : I'm-eu shori pilipin-eu…
Move on mga besh, antagal na nun
That was her interpretation of a Filipino accent... bad as it was that’s what she thought Filipinos sound like... she also attempted a British accent and it sounded bad. I don’t see British people talking about it till today.. infact it was seen as meh another foreigner trying to sound like us.
Why was that such a sore point for Filipinos?
True
She's racist and ignorant.

Here in the Philippines, we speak english according to its spelling of the word.

i'd been here in sydney for 31 years, being exposed to the aussie accent.
strange that i have not evolve into sounding like an aussie.
my english hi-school teacher together with my english speaking classmates
had a strong influence on my english accent, a baguio city-ish english accent,
which i think is distinct and universal. on my twilight years, i may never change my filipino accent nor try to modify it.
Well some Filipinos can talk English directly to the person but some Filipino are shy to speak English directly (they don't know how to express it) but in writing they are good. That's why if they met Foreigner, they are shy at first but in their mind, they want to practice english in foreigner. Some Filipinos need more practice but don't underestimate them once they learn speak english properly.
I'm a Filipino but for me I understand everyone's accent. I personally believe that there's no such a perfect accent in speaking in English and any other languages.
weee di nga?
Have you talk to a chinese, japanese or korean?😅
Pinagloloko mo...
I am a filipino too and i speak english fluently but i must say that I am havin a hard time understanding british and australian accent. Just sayin..
Same amigo .
The Philipoines has the best english in the whole world not because Im a Filipino but in school there's always an english subject where we write formal theme depending on the topic the teacher wants and errors during writing are corrected with red ballpen like spelling, wrong use of words in a sentence or wrong grammar and the like.. in oral communication as well we are taugh by our english teachers to pronounce the words correctly and clearly and the proper thing to say it so as we study, our english just gets better as we enter into another level of each year of learning and studying with all the subjects in general and english is one of the toughest I must say and it just keeps improving until such time you are confident to speak english...filipinos speak english in a natural and and clear manner that a foreigner could really understand.. not exagerrating or over as we filipinos call it and trying hard lol! We Filipinos are versatile english speakers.. We can do british, american, australian, indian, italian, south african, korean accent just name it lol because Filipinos are multi-talented .. from singers, actors, beuty titlist, and to any occupation from nurses, caregivers and so on that is why foteigners love to hire Filipinos because of good communication skills and hard work and dedication to one's work/job!
God bless us all Filipinos here in the Phiippines and abroad! stay humble and God-fearing!

Lay off the drugs can barely understand some of you with your mixture of American twangs 😂😂😂😂.
Filipino english is very clear to hear, catchable and easy to understand.
American English spoken by Filipinos sounds the best.
For me the RP(Queen’s English) accent is the clearest accent i could think of. Not trying to mock other accents, but what it makes it to stand out is that it sounds posh and powerful, and it’s very attractive.
In the Philippines, neutral accent is in encourage because of various of languages that exists from the 17 different regions. We recognized that we used English words in our various languages.With that, it should be pronounced or mixed as it is part of a language. So, when we speak in English correct pronunciation and neutral accent is encourage following American pronunciation and spelling. Local names of Persons and places retained. With the Philippine Literature written in English from various backgrounds. Original Pinoy Music (OPM), and many others..., after all PHILIPPINE ENGLISH exists......, Plus, majority of subjects schools are in English such as English, Math, Science etc.
I agree. There's something about British English' accent and pronunciation that wanna make you listen every day!
Really??? You Serious???
@@Brainwealth hende pe negbebere leng eke. Gege
Im from the Philippines, since I grow up with a Filipino neutral accent I would choose our own, however, if you ask me aside from my own comfort zone I would choose the British accent. IDK why I kinda understand them well.

As a Filipino, I can say that Welsh accent and Australian accent are kind of hard to understand for me. I mean I can barely understand them and but I can still continue conversing with them.
here in the Philippines, even though English is not our first language but still we can speak English fluently and clearly as crystal. and we can adopt any kind of accent from all over the world upon hearing their versions of English.
Very true!

british accent:momey!!

Only PHILIPPINES has the CLEARIST ENGLISH PRONOUNCIATIONS and ACCENT that you CANNOT FIND anywhere in the WHOLE WORLD,, thats THE FACT 😊💖
True!
Sweden, Norway, Holland, Denmark all sound very close to actual Native British English speakers that’s a fact
I'm from Philippines too and
You just making all of us so disappointed.
Nope, South Africa is very similar to Philippines english. I’m pinoy and proud of our english.
Because we pronounce every letter in Filipino language and we do the same with English.
I love all proper english vrrsions. American, UK, Philippines, Australian etc... i guess it depends on the speaker if he/she is confident, articulate and speaks intelligently.
I talked to several native speakers like Americans and Australians. There are a little bit distractions on their accents (pronunciations) that hinders me to comprehend. Filipinos, who are educated with the English language, as they are very critical in terms of grammar and sounds, have the best pronunciation I ever had. It's clear and well understood.
90% of the people who comment here are Filipinos 😆😂

Wow, after reading several comments below it's obvious you have quite a large Filipino audience. I am Filipino myself & spent half of my life in California. I would say Australian accent is my first preference, second is the American accent.
From what I can remember thru my favorite elementary English teacher, she taught us the International Standard English in grammar, spelling, speech, literature, etc. She even trained us to speed read comprehensively & play the Scrabble to widen our vocabulary.
I'm from the Philippines but British accent is my most favorite accent. Makes me talk to them the whole day just listening the way they talk haha 😅 but still PILIPINS POR THE WIN 😅
I'm half British and half Filipino, I didn't know that I'm a Filipino since I was a kid, literally, I was learned by my mom and, Now I'm travelling to the Philippines to see my own country, literally I love the view of the mountain and I cried too much! Yeah I even didn't know how to do a Filipino accent but I only speak Bisaya with a British accent but soon as I speak in Bisaya accent, it gets the result that my accent was literally stronger because Bisaya when they speak, they speak like a hard kicked

I am from the small country of Finland. My first language is Swedish (minority) and Finnish is my second. I’ve been taught British in school (probably for 10 years+). I prefer the American version of English since I’ve been exposed to it so much in media, etc. Canadian English sounds similar to me so I like it very much. The reason why I don’t like the British version is because it sounds so preppy and royal. It’s probably the most correct version but it doesn’t sound like you could use it in an everyday situation. Love from Finland 🇫🇮
For non native English speaker. I think Filipinos speak best, it is clear and enunciated. For the English speaker, i love the British accent.
I love the black american accent. I love the way kevin hart speak. So cool
TBH a lot of people here in Philippines likes to make funny accent of their English pronunciations 😂🤣😂🤣 Some people likes it too cuz it sounds really funny 🤣 but when we need to speak English formally we can easily change our accent to American or British accent. Some people here in PH don't know how to fluently speak English but they also know a lot of basic phrases that are needed when you are talking with an English person.
American or British? I'd say very few Filipinos can do that.
I understand clearly from Philippines.They are very good fluently in English.
I get my English pronunciation even with accents straight while talking to my dog or when I'm alone but when I speak with other people I was like- 🤪
Dude, Filipino can easily adopt. Many Asian people choose to study in the philippines.
Ofcourse many asian chooses to study in the Philippines because we're asian ourselves lmao

Man, you are putting me on the spot with this question. In my book, it's like asking the child, "Who you like more daddy or mommy?" I mean, daddy is an American accent and mummy is a British accent. So I am like that little child that has to choose between his kind and beautiful mother and reasonable but strict father. So for my liking British accent sounds more sophisticated and beautiful, whereas the American one is just more practical to know because, let's make no bones about it, the American accent is more commonly used all over the world. So my heart with the British accent and my mind with the American one. To cap it all, it would be great to learn them both or at least understand them equally. Speaking of me, I would stick to the American one, not that I like him more, but because it's just more practical and useful. Cheers!
I love british accent. it sounds elegant but American accent seems to be easier to learn.
Filipino english varies in different levels: elite, educated, uneducated. Of course a lot of people sees us uneducated and speaks english poorly but hey, we did not beat India as the no.1 english speaking BPO country for nothing. Educated Filipinos speaks crisp, clear and more neutral english accent. It is what you always hear talking to call center agents. The elite (high social class) speaks pseudo-american/british accents which is phoney sounding and somewhat pretentious.
i very much agree. Sometimes I don't like how rich people speak english like they're so maarte u know, as compared to native american speakers.. i hope i didn't offend anyone. lol
sir for your information the Philippines got the number one spot for BPO, speaking of BPO many western countries including indian investor they now tranfer it to the Philippines, its because lndian accent is hard to understand
I can say that philippines having the right accent of english...they have also TagLish language...mixing Tagalog and english
I agree
I am filipino and I think every english accent is the best as long as you can understand each other there is nothing wrong with it. It's unique.
The most understandable English is Philippines' English. There's not one perfect accent in all English countries, the Londoners is different from Wales, same is true with USA. The southerners accent differ from northern states. All I can say is it doesn't matter. What is important is we understand each other.
Philippines was influenced by Americans , only it was twisted by local vowel sound by time , so now we have our own Philippine English version ..only Americans can distinguish which is proper...and not irritating to hear..anyway what is the most important is that we can communicate very well ...at the end of the conversation..what do you think sir...any English will do ,searching for the best? you'll do the scaling.. ok have a wonderful day...goodluck
There are a lot of British people in Spain, there are British towns and villages in Spain, created to cater for British ex-pats, they've got chip shops, marmite, British pub and restaurant chains, supermarkets, it's big business for Spain - the Costa del Sol, huge numbers whose first language is English in fact in many cases whose only language is English, estimated at 310,000 people, it's the largest group of British ex-pats globally.
He's very cute when he realizes that he's veered away from the actual point of his video (this video): which version of English do you like the most :)
"best" is subjective in terms of preference on which is easier to understand or more pleasant to hear. even if for many people, a particular version or accent is the easiest to understand and most pleasant to hear, some people may still find another one which they prefer.
I'm filipino and I grew up in the Philippines. In my opinion, filipino English is definitely my favorite! not because I'm filipino though, im pretty sure if I wasn't filipino I'd still have the same answer. I'm glad we're fluent in english, while also maintaining fluency in our native language like Tagalog.
As a non native speaker of English from the beginning of my English learning I have started to expose myself to British English, American English, Australian English or Kiwi English (New zealand) It seems to me that English spoken by native speakers is much more challanging to comperhand than English spoken by non native speakers.
Lol we're not fluent in English, only some are.
this is a very subjective topic. i also think that britain's english is the standard but i grew up in a country where american english is well recognized.but i love my flipino english.
I like the cockney accent and new york accent just because it sounds tough mob like. I feel like i need that accent. Also the boston accent sounds really tough.

I like your accent it was so vivid.
I think southern States have a very thick american accent ,and it's sometimes hard to understand .To me West Coast american accent is the easiest to understand.
But I think it all comes down to education ,usually educated people no matter where they come from, will have a better pronunciation and they will be more open to "criticism",which would open the doors for improvement.

@@julietacastillo3803 yeah having a fil-eng accent means u have a clear pronunciation and having a clear pronounciation make them think u have no accent.

Means that if you pronounce words clearer than the original version it makes them think that you have no accent. But tbh I dunno what makes Fil accent an accent or whatever. I dunno kk bye (¬_¬)ﾉ ಥ⌣ಥ

I am much more used to American accent (there is not a huge difference between states from mt point if view). I more used to what I would call "standard American", I have difficulties to understand some forms that speak too fast or without much articulation.
As for England accents, i tend to feel it sound somehow weird. BBC english us quite clear, but I have often great difficulties to understand more everyday accents with English spellings.
As for Australian or New Zealander, I have no idea if how it specufically sound. It us said that somehiw between British and American?...

in what i know is that all filipinos have different kinds of accents
Most filipinos are fluent in speaking english since the medium of instruction in our schools are mostly in english.
Language is just a medium for communication, accent doesn't matter at all, as long you are capable of communicating and expressing yourself, then that's it.
Hey we all know that the British accent or English is the most music like English there is, but we are missing the point... The toipc here is which English from a non-English native speaking nation would you say is the best English spoken... I think my country the Philippines is No.1 then followed by the people from India...
Do you think the Philippines and India speak better English than the Scandinavians and Dutch ??
Clearly you haven't been to Scandinavian countries, Danish can speak English better.
Long time back Philippines was colonized by different countries last was America thats why American Accent or Language adapted and learned by Filipinos like me🥰
American English its our 2nd Language in Philippines. In every Filipino child once we will enrolled in a Nursery School we already learned English and we use English as our Daily conversation mix with our Tagalog language. Even we're a Poor country but Im very proud to say that We are Educated as we have a lot of Government schools with Free tuition fees, our government given students scholarship and allowances..
I am really proud being a Filipino so if ever any other Nationalities criticizing our Nationality I will gonna fight for it what ever it takes as filipinos said Even we will die as long as we defend our country...
So whoever any nationality criticize us the way we talk or express any words in English pls message me and we gonna talk either an American or a British English!!!
Many grammatical errors in there just so you know. Not exactly here to argue with you. Just letting you know.
Lol.. Throws machete to you ! Bonooooooo 😂
Well, I'm Kurdish and though I think that the British English may sound more clear and proper to non-native ears (that mostly sounds like newsreading or poetry to me), for the same reason the American one makes it easier to compensate my pronunciation mistakes and gives me more confidence while speaking.
For us filipinos, Grammar and Pronunciation is VERY important! We used to be bullied if we mispronounced or we have mistakes in grammar, that's why we spoke English perfectly!
Discriminate rather than bullied
filipinos have the best english accent not only the accent but they speak fluent english
@Lalealyn but English is our 2nd official language.. almost all of the Philippine population can speak English..and we can imitate Spanish accent..we can do different accents
But not everyone there are still some who does not speak English that good but they can still understand.
@Lalealyn Only 14% of Filipinos speak english as their only language they speak and understood. The rest speak it as a second language.
Not the best, one of the best I can say.
@@adrianwakeisland4710 you are talking nonsense. Of course, If you are a Filipino, English is not your 1st language but 2nd, 3rd or even 4th language. Like in my case, English is my 4th Language since I was born in Leyte who speaks Bisaya, then my mom is from Tacloban who speaks Waray, but then the national Language of Philippines is Filipino/Tagalog and English is taught in school same as Filipino. In short my first language is Bisaya, then Waray, then Filipino/Tagalog and then English. But I can speak all 4 languages fluently. Though some kids tend to speak English as a first language as thier parents train them to speak English at a young age, but as they grow older and with peer influence they naturally switch to speak Filipino than English. Unless if any or both of your parents are foreigners and English is the language u used at home.
If this helps, I was born in England and spoke a regional English, I moved to Australia and now sound Australian, I love the American English and I think the Russian English is the best. The Russian English is not dramatic. I do think any Country trying to learn English will find it very hard as we have so many words that sound the same that are spelt differently and there are words written that sound very different to how you say them. Silent letters for example colour, telephone -the ph sound as - 'f' and there are many others. I am visiting England and got stuck through Covid and they cannot understand my Australian language all the time and I cannot understand all the English variances. So it is more of what region of English do each Country speak. America have regions where they speak with more accents, Australia has an accent for each State and then there are the Aborigines who speak over 140 different languages. England has a different accent for everywhere. So whoever tries to speak English will depend on how the tutor speaks in the first place. Most of the Foreign Countries speak a form of American as they watch American shows, even in Australia if young kids watch too many American shows they speak with an American accent as they hear that more then their own language. In America you either speak fast as Superman says, but you also have areas where they speak very slow with a very accented variation of American - the drawl. So I hope this has helped and not confused you.
I think all alphabets in most countries are in the russian alphabet. so when they learn to speak another language they quickly learn to speak.
That’s right I agree with you. Why? American and European English are hard to understand for the other countries, but they easily understand Filipino English accent. It’s akward right but it’s true. Some people think when you have a good accent you’re the best in English but not, It’s how you communicate by interacting other people with clear and understandable communication.
English comprehension is important too.
