Video Transcript

"English is probably one of the most difficult languages to learn for other people and they will do the same thing that we do when we're trying to learn foreign languages. They immerse themselves in the English language. They want to hear it all the time, they want to listen to it, they want to practice their form of English. The unfortunate thing is, we have so many different ways that we say things and in the English language we have idioms and expressions and figures of speech that they don't use in other languages. And so, oftentimes, it causes embarrassment or it's very difficult to remember all of the little nuances that we have in our English language. But we are a popular country, we are a powerful nation and so many many other countries have picked up on our language in such a way that it should be embarrassing to us, as a matter of fact, because we don't know as many languages as other people around the world and usually what they do know is English."
