Moving to America has been exciting. It has been almost a year that I had moved to America from Canada. But when I had first moved here, I had experienced a change in language also. The difference between british-english and american-english. Also, I had noticed a difference in what people say in Canada compared to America.
On my first week of highschool, I had exprienced a change. It wasn't a physical change but a verbal change. It was when I was talking about my bag. I am used to enlongiating the 'a' to a 'e'. It wasn't just that. I did the same with dragon, flag, and almost all words with 'a' before a 'g'. So, imagine myself reciting the pledge and saying "flag" differently.
Although the sterotypical Canadian accents or sayings would be 'eh' or 'aboot' (for about). My exprience wasn't the sterotypical sayings.
