hey you think you have problems 😉
I’ve been working in Barnsley for the last 10 years, I’m also starting to lose my English in favour of the local dialect
tha jus’ ‘as to watch Kes on t’telly, tha noz
seriously though, as said above, “use it or lose it” – that’s what happened to my French.
Remember also if you’re watching TV shows on the computer, they’ll all have their local slang, dialects and other deviations from “standard” English. If they’re US shows, they can vary from Noo Yoik to LA via Noo Orleans, y’all, and god forbid you should watch something set in one of the English provinces or 😯 Scotland. And then there’s Aussie English…
