I would like to received the book on teaching english language and accent in the Philippines. Thanks,

what's your problem kabayan?

I believe that you're overlooking the fact that call center agents in the Philippines are taking calls mostly (if not 100%) from Americans, and the "thwang" is needed to communicate more efficiently with them.


Imagine this, a visayan talking to a tagalog in Filipino. If the Visayan can't pronounce or enunciate properly what he is saying in the "right" tagalog way then there will be difficulties understanding what he's talking about. Same is true with a Pinoy talking to an American, it's not enough that you are gramatically correct but at least can talk clearly - and im not saying 100% american accent.

Let's not look at it as "talking like an American" but "communicating more efficiently with them".

i am 16 and live in britan, i speak like a brit kid, but can also speak like a california kid with great ease, i am moving o austin and am frankly crapin my pants about weather ill pick up the accent. what do u think. my mom spak like an american, and i lived with my whole life.
