hat's quite funny because so many West/South/East/SouthEast Asians already speak more RP English than the current British English norm. I know I find myself intimidated into my most RP accent when I'm speaking with educated Indians (insert more embarrassed-Englishness here)
I know! when I was in NZ, I realised that I spoke better English than a lot of the kiwis. and my Taiwanese friend could correct a kiwi friend's grammar.
It was vaguely embarrassing for all involved, and my friend was kind of bemused by how that could happen.
