I wouldn't say that our English pronunciation is strange. It's just not American or British-accented English, although I would say that we do have a tendency towards British English due to its predominance in our schools. If you would like to improve your written English, Singapore is a fine place to start; spoken English, not so much.

But anyway, thanks for that bit about the nations which supposedly have English as a first language - I was wondering if I needed to take the TOEFL for entry to an American college.

The main English-speaking countries are the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. There are a few other small countries where English is the dominant language; and additionally, it has co-official status in a number of other countries.

wow!  all of these comments have totally opened up new doors in my mind, especially the last one about singapore... 

i knew many people all over the world spoke english as a means to communicate amongst travelers, but i had no idea the language was so prominant in so many places!  as if i didnt feel ignorant enough, posting on an english website and not using apostrophes where necessary, or even spelling words right for that materr.

knowledge sure is a dubious thing.

So the language of Belize is not english?  That is there language, that is what they speak, what they are taught in school, and what the law is written in..
