Is there really a need to learn British accent?

i think he's just being funny. better improve on his english and not worry about accents. win the fight. no need to impress the press with fancy talks.

If you are going to live or stay in Britain permanently, it would surely be a good idea to learn the British accent to be easily understood and not be discriminated. However, the best rule is, learn English, accent or pronunciation, that is spoken in the place where you will work or will

stay. Is is true, some speak to impress, but sometimes really neded if you want to be understood.

Allot of people who have speech problems are taught to speak in a proper english accent as it requires the pronunciation of every syllable in very word clearly. Try doing this, read something out loud, like a newspaper article or something like that. Read it out loud and try and pronounce all the syllables in the words as clearly as you can. This is a good start. It also helps to be around other people who are english as you can eventually mimic their accents. I have a really posh english accent from going to boarding school for 4 years but before that I had an american accent from going to an international school which was american dominated. It is possible. I went from a very strong american accent to a very posh english accent.

But of course!

Pacman is a hero. Heroes need to be perfect in every way. Remember that scene in "Braveheart" where the hero, Wallace, confronts the British Princess and some other extra from the royal court? I think he spoke French to impress them, and challenged the extra if he would prefer that he speaks another language, could be Tagalog, for all I care. Just to emphasize that he is not the ignoramus that the English thought him to be.

There's no need for him to learn British accent because he will not win the fight talking to his opponent. However, if Pacman wants to do it for himself, who would stop him. I mean if we want to learn British accent ourselves why does it have to matter to anyone else. But I think he should learn English grammar first because he sounds irritating with his grammar. Never mind the Bisayan accent he can deal with it later.

To Aref H4: Are you hallucinating? Since when did Pacquiao became a hero? It's very absurd to compare Pacquiao to Wallace, hero of Scottland. Wallace fought for freedom and sacrificed his own life. You're idolizing him too much, if you want to call him People's Champ, so be it, but not hero. WAKE UP DUDE!

i think there's nothing bothering about the accent, but what matter is why speak in a british accent and pretend to be a scotsman fighting the english for freedom? That would surely raise some eyebrows among the citizens of U.K.

Maybe it's just me, but I find it so funny that Pacman can, with little preparation, speak well in an English accent but can barely speak in an American acccent after all these years of interviewing with the American media.

Bloody fabulous....Ay ginoo.

Hell ya! If I am being paid by millions of dollars to speak with British accent, why not?

Actors and actresses in Hollywood were paid to have personal coach to train how to speak with an accent with the role they're playing and Pac-Man is no different from them.

So whether he made a fool of himself by speaking with a British accent which was absolutely ridiculous, let us watch the fight, shall we?

no need at all. what he needs to learn is the comprehension because brits have different accent and uses different words even the spelling.

what he needs to know is that lots of words are used differently particularly among filipinos which is familiar with the american english.

places, things have different names

brits use many positive adjectives and use formal words. for instance in the phils saying thank you we think that's enough but for brits they'll say thank you my dear.

he might think that he needs to be a roman when is rome. there's nothing wrong with it. it's just sometimes others can't deal what other people is doing.

no way! ha in my opinion i think its for fun only - you know why pple arew joking around with each other we pretend to hav an accent eg. pple speak in a british or and indian accent - ha very funny talaga. LOL

hehe..

well w/ pacman's english (he's not very good its all bad grammar - btw im australian so i know the ways).
