From the link: "Those words were "left" and "right" - and Park's English has not improved since his move to PSV after the 2002 World Cup, where under Hiddink the Koreans reached the quarter-finals. " Semi-finals, not the quarter ;D
liverpudlian and geordie have to be the worst. I bet none of you here could understand their accents. I found Gerrard's accent in interviews very hard to understand. Shearer's accent isn't so badly geordie, though. And also, the footballing class speak a totally different accent to the kind of accent in my boarding school, which I find very interesting.
Not too sure if going to a school full of guidos is any better than living in flushing to be honest. Guido speak is something else. Heard a guy trying to put his dog in his boat, "byad do-waag". Most KOreans live in Fort Lee, Leonia now. Not too many KOreans in Flushing anymore.
When I was little, I visited family friends in Fort Lee. Though, I never knew it was an enclave for Koreans. Doesn't Fort Lee have a tradition for being a big stop for different immigrant communities, like Middle Eastern people now?
yeah...english english is a bit difficult at time to understand. when listening to interview of say david beckham and comparing that to sven erikkson, i would have to say that sven has a higher command of the english language than england's poster boy. and man, that scottish accent! it's freaking hard to even read it. have you tried reading trainspotting by irvine welsh? man. isnae aunnae urt! but, yeah, sounds much better than it look like on paper.
