Filipinos, if you watch American movies....?

... Do you understand the words they say?? I understand some words but if they speak too fast I just don't get what they're saying.



Does this apply to you?Filipinos, if you watch American movies....?To this day, I still cannot understand ghetto talk in American movies. Mind you I have tried but ebonics is the toughest language any functional person can learn.



Izzo whack yall it wanna make me pull up mah gat, ya know what I mean? Jus' like Orenthawl James.Filipinos, if you watch American movies....?
Well, if they DO speak too fast, I have to put the subtitles on, but most of the time, I can understand.Filipinos, if you watch American movies....?I don't have any difficulty of understanding while watching American movies even if the character/s speaks too fast.



To be able to understand the Ebonics slang words one has to be around and interact with them and that applies to Hill Billies/Red Necks for that matter in which I have the opportunity to conversed with them.
My Pinay talks it so fast I can't understand it.

I use to have yankees ask me to please speak faster. Always got a laugh.

Not everyone is the same.Filipinos, if you watch American movies....?If we really listen and observe their body language, we would understand English from whomever is talking and no matter how fast they are saying the words or how weird the sounds coming out from their mouths. Follow the action, that's how I watch movies or TV shows.Filipinos, if you watch American movies....?
Watch the same movie ten times.
i get the gist of what they are saying, but when i get the DVD, i usually turn on the subtitles in case i missed anything.Filipinos, if you watch American movies....?
yeah, sometimes, especially when someone in our house who keeps on talking and talking and talking while I'm watching a movie...
Speed is not a problem for me, it's the softness of the voices sometimes. I really had to crank my volume just to get it.
