StyleSuzi
Re: StyleSuzi
I watch her. I like her, I suppose...she does seem a bit vapid to me though. Also, I know she can't fix it but her accent is quite difficult to understand at times
Re: StyleSuzi
I don't like her personally, her fashion style is no own style..
english is my 4th language

Re: StyleSuzi
i used to like her years ago, but i cant stand her now. i find her very shallow and all her life consists of is shopping every day and her dog on the vlog. she has run out of ideas for videos and recycles hair videos every other month, and puts out a video only once a month sometimes not even. i do not support her anymore
Re: StyleSuzi
I used to watch her beauty videos. But found them so boring. But I still watch her vlogs. I think she's a very boring person overall. I like her boyfriend though, he's very funny.

Re: StyleSuzi
I like her vlogs - Suzi and Tommy seem like a genuinely happy couple. But, and I know this sounds terrible, her accent is horrible! And her grammar is atrocious!

Re: StyleSuzi
I can't watch anymore. She sounds like she struggles to speak - and the way she says vlog (f-log) really makes me cringe.

Re: StyleSuzi
I'm so confused about her accent because I thought it a result of english being her second language but she was born in Yorkshire???
What kind of accent is it? Does she have a speech impediment or something?? It's so heavy.

Re: StyleSuzi
^^^ I think she was raised by native Chinese (?) people, so she learnt English from them and, consequently, mimicked their accents. It happens a lot.

Re: StyleSuzi
Mmmm… I've never seen this happen in my life. And I'm speaking as someone whose parents' first language isn't english and english wasn't spoken at home. If she was raised by Chinese immigrants it's highly likely the parents didn't know much english and she would've learned english from school, being around friends, teachers, etc. I've never heard of a someone who was born and raised in an english speaking country picking up their parents' accent.Person wrote:^^^ I think she was raised by native Chinese (?) people, so she learnt English from them and, consequently, mimicked their accents.

I think she has a speech impediment that never got fixed? She has difficulty pronouncing a lot of things.
Re: StyleSuzi
^^^ *shrug* I've met enough British born and raised people whose accents have been heavily influenced by the immigrants in their families to know it isn't an unusual occurrence.

Re: StyleSuzi
Well I think there's an exception. If the parent already speaks english but just in a different accent, the child might pick it up. I think South African, Australian, Welsh, British accent hybrids are common. But Suzi's case where she's picked up the mispronunciation and cadence of a non-english speaking person when she herself was born in England is rare.Person wrote:^^^ *shrug* I've met enough British born and raised people whose accents have been heavily influenced by the immigrants in their families to know it isn't an unusual occurrence.
Re: StyleSuzi
^^^ I didn't mean she (and others) have picked up the accents of people who don't speak English. What I meant was plenty of people (including Suzi) who are raised by immigrants (people who more often than not learn the dominant language of the country in which they now live) often learn the "new" country's language from the immigrants. Thus, they mimick the mispronunciations/accents of the immigrants.
Also, now I think about it, Suzi speaks Chinese (I'm pretty sure). That could have been the primary language at home when she was growing up, thus her Chinese accent influenced her English pronunciations. That also happens a lot.

Re: StyleSuzi
To add, because I can no longer edit:
It doesn't matter if she was raised in England. As a child, when she was learning English, she was probably mostly around her family. If English wasn't their first language, then she'll have learnt whatever version of English they had, presuming they were the people to teach her English.
(And a Welsh accent is a "British accent".)

Yes. People like me. Like I said, I'm born to immigrant parents and most of the people I socialize with are the same. English is not spoken at home and our parents have a heavy accents. You say this is a common occurrence yet I have NEVER heard of this happening. Not even one case. I have never heard of/seen someone who is born and raised in an english-speaking country completely disregarding the proper english she's hearing all around her at school, friends, tv, radio, strangers, etc and clinging on the accent of her parents when her parents probably aren't even speaking english most of the time. I'm guessing 99% of the time, her parents are speaking chinese with her. So how is she picking up their accent?
And her parents wouldn't have taught her english. First generation kids speak their parents' native language until they're old enough to go to school and they learn english there.
I'm guessing her fiance, Tommy, grew up in the same situation but he has not even a hint of a Chinese accent. This is how it usually is. It's seriously surprising to me how heavy Suzi's accent is when she's not even an immigrant.
(and oops. I mean Welsh, English, Irish, Scottish -- not British)
Re: StyleSuzi
^^^ ...
Firstly, my father was an immigrant; my mothers parents were immigrants; most of my family members/friends were raised by immigrants. I'm not an outsider looking in and making generalisations based on what a couple of people around me are like.
Secondly, I've lived in this world long enough to have seen what I'm talking about. I'm not just making shit up. I've actually met many different people who were raised by immigrants.
Thirdly, and lastly, I'm not even gonna bother with this anymore, 'cause it seems you don't understand:
-how humans work
-how people are different and have different situations
-half of what I've even said
Bye!
Edit: another thing you don't seem to understand is you can't take statements which are sweeping generalisations based on: your situation; the situations of those around you; and assumptions as facts.

Re: StyleSuzi
Wow, you are really off on one aren't you? Very mad and defensive. Lower your blood pressure, babes. Everything's gonna be alright. I guess you don't understand the concept of friendly discourse. Either that or you just can't stand someone not sharing your opinion.
Did someone accuse you of "making shit up" or being an outsider looking in and making generalizations? I certainly didn't, nor did I even allude to anything to do with your background. That's all you. I stated that I was brought up the same way as Suzi and described my situation to explain why I know it's rare for a first generation child to develop the accent of their parents. And I still stand by that.
And you say that your family's immigrant story goes back generations. I was only talking specifically about first generation kids. Big diff.
You're kind of a hypocrite. You say because YOU'VE seen this happen, that it's a common occurrence yet when I say it's rare because I've never seen it happen I'm accused of making sweeping generalizations based on MY situation. Babes, try looking in the mirror.
It's called having a different opinion. TIP: Try stating your opinion without insulting others.
Have a blessed day.

Re: StyleSuzi
^^^ I was never angry...
I never once said it was a common occurrence. I said it wasn't an unusual one and it happens a lot. Those aren't the same as being common.
You did make generalisations:
"And her parents wouldn't have taught her english. First generation kids speak their parents' native language until they're old enough to go to school and they learn english there."
I was perfectly calm and having a reasonable conversation with you. You ignoring what I was saying, misinterpreting my words, making assumptions, and generalising made me want to stop talking to you, because I didn't see how this conversation could go anywhere.
Also, when I brought up my family's immigration history, I was also talking about first generation kids. Ex: "most of my family members/friends were raised by immigrants." "my mothers parents were immigrants."
These aren't opinions, btw. Saying that there are people who are influenced by certain things and talking about how one was raised aren't matters of opinion.
I didn't say you accused me of making shit up. The reason why I said I wasn't is because you were annoying me by repeating that you've never seen it happen. That made it seem as though you either thought I had not understood the first time, or you didn't believe it could be true. Thus, I was telling you I wasn't making it up.
Maybe you sensed aggression because is swore (why does everybody on this site think swearing is only ever a cause of anger?) or because I was hurriedly trying to end this boring-ass conversation which is literally going nowhere and has been going on for too long. I was fucking bored, not angry.
All I can conclude from this is you have terrible comprehension skills. Omg -_- I clearly have such high blood pressure -_- I am so nasty -_- I should join an anger management class -_-
Oh, babes, this was, like, totes fun, but you're, like, seriously, like, boring me now. K, baby buttercup?
