[Discussion] manglish is more approachable?

10010

Question:
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?

Answer:
1)Yes, but only in Malaysia and Singapore.In other countries especially Western countries, if you speak in Manglish, people will never get you and they will think you're weird.
2)Same to Question 1.
3)Speak more.
4)Sure. Why not?
