English is my second language. I studied in a Elementary school that specializes in English. TV shows, internet, book and games here are also in English. One thing that is easy about English is the pronunciations. If you were to compare Filipino with English, Filipino has a more complicated way of pronouncing words. (That is why it is hard to read in Filipino). English does have its negative side though.
I find English very impolite. Unlike in Japanese, Chinese and Filipino, English doesn't use other names for elders. They may have mom, dad, grandma and grandpa but how about brothers and sisters? Kuya and Ate in Filipino. Nii-san and Nee-san in Japanese. Aya and Achi in Chinese. Also in in Filipino we have a sort of particle for polite speech. Japanese has a whole different language for extreme politeness and normal politeness (just remember ~~masu).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Do you know that a LOT of call centers are located in the Asia? I've met people working in a call center in my country..they speak some damn good english! Also I saw a course offering in college called Call-center English! I could never tell if they were Americans or Filipinos. (unless i suddenly curse in filipino\spanish.....they'd understand)

There's nowhere I can't reach.
