Speaking English!

[Dakine 26]

Strange as I've lived in Mexico and also the Philippines and it seems like more people in the Philippines speak English and speak it well compared to Mexico.

You'd think it would be opposite do to the countries locations. It may be something to do with the US having occupied PI for awhile.

Anyone know different?

The U.S. was in charge of the Philippines, but was never in charge of Mexico. Same reason government documents from Philippines are in English.

Schools in Mexico don't have English subject while in PI Most of the people can speak the language even if sometimes it's crooked because it's being taught in schools from kindergarten up to college.

Yeah but you'd think Mexico would do the same also. There are LOTS of call centers [Norton, Dell, Hawaiian Airlines just to name a couple] in the Philippines and the IOs there barely have a accent. Some none at all. .

Yeah it is amazing that not all the world speaks English, my question to you is, since you lived in both Mexico and the Ph, do you speak Spanish and Filipino?

When i was in my elementary and high school during English class everybody is forced to speak in English or else you will be spending your allowance paying for the so called " fee for not speaking in English". And since everybody wants to spend their allowance on some foods so we really tried our best to speak in english though it's broken sometimes lol... Good ole days

I used to be pretty fluent in Spanish as I lived in Chile also. LONG time ago and it's slipped away a bit. I can "get by" in Tagalog as my wife and daughter are filipinas. Can't rap fast tho.

Erm, does such a language exist? I was rather under the impression that the mother tongue of Mexico was Spanish.

i was taught an andalusian dialect in high school, and used it while working in chile and some other SA countries. many people complimented me on the dialect, indicating it was considered a higher form. mexican ain't spanish, that's for sure.

Mexican is as much of a language as Filipino is a language

Schools in Mexico teach English Subject, but just High Schools and Universities.... In comparison with schools in Philippines that teach English since elementary(according to fendergirl)

Only Mexicans that live in the border states, and cities that are frequently visited by foreigns tourists speak English. I wonder if even in smalls towns in Philippines people speak English.

I did not know "Mexican" was a language, maybe you should give us some lessons tallcoolone.
