    alright, are you usually use English in your conversation? or even with your family/close friends?
I have no one to talk with me in English in my daily life, so I'm quick fluent using English speaking.

1) do u guys think manglish is more approachable compare to proper english??
2) when having daily conversation, will u add some unnecessary words such as "la", "lo","meh", "wor" etc??
3) the way/ways used to improve english conversation??
4) if a foreigner is throwing a question to u, will u dare to answer him/her??

a) not really approachable
b) absolutely not
c) talk more
d) sure, why not?

    I think yours one quick well, at least you have apply in speaking with your friends & bf.
Maybe the different they said is the ways you pronounce (more towards manglish)?  
If we pretend to speak western style English but actually we are not that far, what will western ppl think of us?
The most mistake I make in conversation is pronounce "he" as "she". hahaha~
I'm quick blur in pronounce letter "h", "th" and "el", what about you?

yeah!! they keep laughing at my pronunciation... not bcoz of manglish but bcoz i dont really knw how to pronounce the words
of coz our chinese accent also is a problem
