As a speaker of English as a second language, what can you say about the difficulty of other speakers in understanding the Philippine English variety that you use?

Opinion!

I shaded the important words, but feel free to write it all down.

As a speaker of English as a second language who uses the Philippine English variety,

I have noticed that other speakers can sometimes have difficulty understanding me. This is because Philippine English has unique features, such as the use of Filipino words and expressions, as well as the influence of other languages like Spanish and Tagalog. Additionally, the accent and pronunciation in Philippine English can be different from other varieties of English, which may also contribute to the difficulty in understanding. However, with practice and exposure to the Philippine English variety, other speakers can gradually become more familiar with the language and improve their comprehension. Overall, I believe that mutual understanding and patience are key in overcoming these language barriers.
