Speaking differently--Jeffery Jernagin
I think people who speak a different language come from different cultures. Everyone that is from the United States is taught english but comes from different races. Not to say skin color decides on how a person talks because a person speech can inprove if they practice talking proper. The United States is a big country so everyone that lives here will mostly likely speak english but not as well as others. Even though many people learned english as a first language we still have to remember our past culture and where our family is from. Our speech has something to do with how we are taught to speak also. It's rare to find the people of a different race with the same speech. I think how we are raised has to do something with are speech as well if you grow up around it you adapt to they way you are taught. I was raised in the deep parts of the country so my accent is deep and a little country. Many different people are taught english but the class is not based on talking only but grammar as well. I mean english is a class that has been taught to me for years but it hasnt really helped me with any speaking or how I read. I think many different races speak different because they are also from all over the world so english doesn't come first. In my personal opinion I think how people talk has something to do with how it rolls off their tongue most people have deep accents. Most other races think how they speak is the proper way but I think myself english is the most powerful language you can learn.

I think you have a point when it comes to culture because it can be a person's culture which molds the way another person speak. I also agree with the statement when you explained that you was raised in the deep parts of the country so your accent if deep and a little country. Where you are raised plays a big role in how you speak.
ReplyDeletemy brother I understand were you was coming from you said that everyone in the united states speaks english except the people that are different races like the mexicans speak spanish and when you said how we are raised has alot to do with how we speak and when said that people let the words roll drop their tongue.$Johnny Moore$
ReplyDeleteI agree with you when it comes to culture because of alot of people where they from theyre going to talk where theyre from. I also agree with the honmetown thing because if you from a certain your going to talk like it if you are from the Buckhead part of Atlanta your going to talk proper and try not to make mistakes in your grammer. If your from Bankhead of atlanta your going to talk a whole total language that may not be appealing to others -Keenan Mathews
