Most of my neighbors are Mexican. They don't speak English at all, yet expect the "Anglos" to speak Spanish. I don't mind learning to speak Spanish. What annoys me the most is that they have all obtained a green card. That's Ok! with me too. However, it is my personal belief that if you wish to emigrate to the U.S. than you should at least be able to take a test on American History and recite the National anthem in English and not Spanish, just like every other immigrant that wishes to become an American citizen.

In England I'd probably say trousers to begin with. And actually pants wouldn't be a proper term for a woman's undergarments anyways.
And trousers is not a particularly uncommon word here especially if you are talking about anything at all formal.

Again though still trivial and semantic differences hardly a "foreign" language. And certainly any Englander would not take offense at on first saying knowing likely you're an American.... just correct you and say remember that ;)
Which by the way NONE of these mentioned things have ever taken me more than one hearing/explanation to understand or remember. (assuming I didn't just figure it out for myself as in bonnet and boot) Oh and lets not forget Windscreen and Windshield... is that mind boggling too? Or Petrol is gas.... now lets see where does gas come from PETROLeum. ;)

Or lift/elevator.... now what does and elevator do??? Hmm that's a real stretch too hunh.

Or apartment/flat.... generally apartments are single floor which are????.... well FLAT!!! You know the person is talking about or you are being invited to their home.... another huge leap hunh????

Unless you want to get into city variations like Cockney and the actual regional dialects like Welsh, Scott,and Irish etc.... King/Queens Engliish very little difference and no gramatical/construct ones..

Heck never had a problem with Indian's, South Africans, Austrailians, Bahamians, or New Zelanders either to mention some others, with different accents but same basic language and construct.

The Japanese is a work in progress.
It is enough to get by for the very basics, but try to answer or understand something where the context is not known, that gets really tough.

Engrish is not really a joke. Understanding Engrish (something that was translated from Japanese to English) is made much easier by having studied even a little bit of Japanese. The word orderin Japanese is basically opposite what it would be in English.
