americans thinking non-americans want to sound american is so american

[jasastopar]

"You know what sounds american?"

Me: "Yeeehaww howdy i been watchin' that gawddamn shOw thee whole day🤠"

[some_one]

"You know what sounds very American?" I ate a cheeseburger?

[ruthlessrays]

Binged-watched doesn't necessarily mean you watched the "whole day" tho.

[shaunamclean]

“I *spent* my whole day watching this show” would be correct. Past tense, right?

[imacrostutorial]

"That doesn't sound very American"

This sentence sounds so American.

[storms]

“Less American” is the wrong term I think. It’s more related to age than country. Here in the UK we say the same thing.

[wznlbgi]

I would love to learn English without necessarily sounding American😃

[subject_changed]

I'm American and I say "I spent my day watching TV"

[fxjrulpzxi]

Binge doesn’t mean “in a day, ” it means to excessively consume. You can binge food, drugs, alcohol, Netflix shows, etc

[shivangikansal]

Why would I want to sound American? I think every culture has their own way and beauty of expressing things. One should not have to be American to speak English.

[shaunclarke]

No. "Binge" means to watch the entire season in one sitting. "Watched all day" means from the moment you woke up to the moment you go to bed you were watching stuff.

[TeamTwiistz]

Saying “I binged-watched this Netflix show” is still too formal. You’d say “i binged today. It’s on Netflix”

[eek]

As an american, and a native english speaker, the first way of this is still completely accurate, and we'll probably respond with "same

"That doesn't sound very American"
And that doesnt sound like something I give a damn about.

[preethirajan]

Why would anyone want to sound American when they are not? 🤷‍♀️

[alyssajohnson]

It’s not less American, in fact I’m less likely to say “binge watch”, that’s kind of a thing only people in their 30s say

[Darren_Anderson_Chris_Lee]

“dOeSn’T sOuNd aMeRiCaN”

Brits: *AM I A JOKE TO YOU?!*

[pigeonsyndrome]

Not only is the first sentence perfectly natural when said in the right context, it's very bold of you to assume I want to sound like a native speaker. As long as people understand me, I don't see any issue with them noticing English isn't my first language, and I don't think it's right to perpetuate the idea that ESL learners NEED to speak a certain way. Fluency is a never ending process and, if your ultimate goal is to sound like a native speaker, go ahead, but many people won't feel the need to "pass" as Americans when they really aren't

"It doesnt sound very American"
Me being an Indian-It doesnt have to sound american!
