Hello My name is G Vergara from NYC and I am new to DI, its nice to see we have a community like this. I briefly stayed in Dumaguete for school and I loved it.
Welcome. I hope your planning a visit soon. It would be nice to talk to someone who really knows how to speak English. Ex New Yorker:D
Whoa Thar, Pardner! Kenny my friend! either you are not getting out enough or you are mixing with the wrong crowd, there are enough of US English speakers in Dgte, to satisfy you conversational needs. Maybe it is only NY English speakers you prefer to talk to, in which case, I take your point. :p Jack P.
Those US English speakers you refer to will be happy to inform you that us guys from Brooklyn speak a different dialect. :D
@ knowdafish I was born there, but to NYC @ 4 specifically Long Island (guess parents couldnt get away from the water) after serving a short tour in US Military I moved back for school in 06'. While I was there I met my wonderful wife. I recently returned to NY and working now just yearning to go back. @ Kenny I feel you on the New York Vibe. Like many places in Philippines and America NYers have a different approach of lining words up haha. Yo u dont go to school with Nate do you?
