These ways of speaking can be so different that sometimes Americans from different parts of the USA might not understand each other. 这些区别有时候会导致来自不同的地区的美国人互相听不懂对方说的话。 For example,可乐, different places in America say it very differently. 比如说可乐;美国不同地区的...
Seriously, when you have an accent, people can get to points you would never think they would be because their actions/suggestions are utterly stupid (for example, somebody had to teach me how to check out at a supermarket because, in their mind, it was impossible that I knew how to pay...
