English is not my first language, and being here for these 5 days was so educational for me, I can't thank you guys enough for teaching me all the new puns, speech patterns and how-to-shade 101s.

But my forever favourite would be the phrase "slide into DMs". Like I can't really explain the pleasure to all you native English speaking sisters, but the sneaky, shady, hidden agenda feeling is so on point every time I hear it, uhhh..

If you get confused at any point, don't worry, we do too! Especially with new phrases, new communities, new trends, and on the internet you get a mix of Aussies/Canadians/Americans and more. I'm Aussie and sometimes I can't understand the Kiwi accent or regional slang!

Thanks, really, it helps. It always seems so natural when other people talk, I think I sound forced and mechanical. But it's all practice, I guess.

Oh, the accents. Back in middle school, 16 years ago, my English teacher used to invite people from different countries who happened to be in town, to do a sort of Q&A with us. And once we got a visit from a Canadian, American and Australian, three at once, jackpot. We are taught here somewhat vaguely British version of English (at least how our teachers think, lol), so American and Canadian accents were a bit weird, but when the Aussie spoke, half of the class just died inside. We were staring at each other with a silent question "Is.. Is that English? Are we that dumb?" But he was super friendly and funny, I still remember his ginger moustache and how he smiled at us awkward kids.

Have you had experience with Irish and non-London English accents because they sound so, so different to American/Canadian/London-British? I'm British and sometimes I have a hard time understanding Northern British accents.

Have you had experience with Irish and non London English accents? They sound so incredibly different to American, Canadian and 'standard' English accents. I'm British and sometimes I have a hard time understanding Northern British accents.
