You Europeans all watch our shows, movies and music way more than you probably listen to the same entertainment that comes from Britian, so I am sure many people pick up the American version more.

Just basing it off my Slovakian girlfriend who says she learned English by watching American television and listening to our music and she also said that American movies and shows were often more popular than native culture. But I don't really know, I speak Afro American which is king of all the English languages.


What a wonderfully insular and parochial view of the world.

1. Yes, we are influenced by your media.

2. It works both ways sunshine.

3. I cannot talk for Slovakia but English TV shows far outnumber US shows on the Free to air channels in the UK.

4. Afro American is an ethnic group not a language.

1. Are you talking about Britian or Europe as a whole?

2. Of course it does, but the US is the entainment giant for the entire world from hollywood to music industry our popular culture has the gretaest influence.

3. I would suspect in Britian it would make sense, but apparently other poorer European countries even if they are a part of the EU have more shows from the US. Like I said just what my girlfriend said.

4. I am not always 100% serious in my posts, and yes it is alternative form of English also known as Ebonics.
