British v American
“ภาษาอังกฤษกับอเมริกันแตกต่างกันยังไง”
นี่ ฟังนะ คนไทยคิดมากจนคิดว่ามันเป็นคนละภาษากัน หรืออะไรเว่อร์ประมาณนั้น
จะบอกให้ มันคือภาษาเดียวกัน นั่นแหละ แค่บางคำเราอาจใช้ไม่เหมือนกัน แต่ 99.9% เหมือนกัน เข้าใจไหมครับ
แล้วที่จริง คนอังกฤษกับอเมริกันก็ใช้ของแต่ละผ่ายแบบผสมบ้างสลับกับบ้างนะ
หยุดคิดว่า มันแตกต่างกันมาก มันไม่ใช่สักหน่อย
ภาษาอเมริกัน คำซ้าย
ภาษาอังกฤษอังฏฤษ คำขวา
