Lol spanish and italians speak shit english.
So do the English.
American English is the only correct English.
The average swede speaks better english than the average american
Swedes aren't real.
Bro i live in sweden and im pretty sure they exist.
You live in sweden but you're not swedish?
Interesting. Almost as if swedes don't exist.
I moved here two weeks ago and from my experience swedish people seem to exist.
Of course they exist. They're the ones that serve the meatballs.
Explain this map of Europe if Swedes are real.
Indian English is the future english
Only valid reply.
Americans have worse English than the French.
French aren't people.
It's not our fault that the Latin-Germanic barrier is so difficult to overcome
If at all. At least in Italy, outside of tourist areas or quite often even in tourist areas, you'd have to point and wave to talk or use a translation app. Even 20 somethings barely understood any english.
I lived in spain for 4 months in a tourist spot(out of season) and they couldnt understand our english. They had shops with signs like "we speak english" but they didnt. At least italian is easier to understand with english than spanish. And then theres the french who speak perfect english but refuse to.
Indeed. This meme is funny because quite disconnected from reality
