Do they have American schools in London?

Question

Do they have American schools, as in English speaking students and teachers, in London? My dad works in the embassy so we always get different assignments and we're moving a lot and i seriously dont want to move to England because i know people there speak weird and every thing's so small and people have different lifestyles... and the car assigned to us is so small... what's the point? ugh....ima be pissed if we get an assignment there, but do they have american schools there? do they also have american television?

i'm really going to miss my america. everything's so much bigger and better here. :(

Answer 1

This a deliberate wind-up, isn't it ?

Either that, or you are very, very simple.

Answer 2

Yeah they do, there's quite a few American kids that go to my school and I think you'll find that pretty much everyone in England does actually speak English. London's one of the greatest and most powerful cities in the world, just because you have fatter portions and bigger gas guzzlers in America, it doesn't mean you won't like it here as well. Also you will be able to watch a lot of American TV here, they show all the series like Lost, Friends etc as well as reality TV like America's Got Talent. Good luck with the move, but you need to have a more positive attitude if you're ever going to enjoy living here.

Answer 3

English is the native language of the English. Pretty much all Scottish, Welsh and Irish people speak it too.

The car is small because the roads are small and petrol is expensive. There would be no point getting a big car because you would never be able to use it.

We have a h**l of a lot of US programmes on British telly, so you won't be wanting there.

Your attitude is not making you look big or clever. It is making you look like an offensive, whinging teenager. Wake up, you are coming to a country with better schools and better telly. If you don't care for furthering yourself, stay put.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

This is not very nice, you don't want to move to London, and you say we speak weird and you want help? we only help people who are proud to be here in good old London, stay where you're.

Answer 7

Yes, they have American schools in London (schools run by Americans for expats..)

I assume you are being ironic with regards to the ENGLISH language, so I won't go there.

Have a nice day.

English was born right here in England.  English is the language of the English people - it is also a quite widely spoken language in what is known as the English Speaking World.  UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and USA.

....you still don't like us then?  We're really not that bad.  Yes, we are stand-offish, snobbish, rude, vacant stare, drink too much, read trashy novels, have wild opinions on every subject under the sun, loudly voice our opinions, do marches and demonstrations and generally make a nuisance of ourselves.  Who are we?  We're the Brits and sometimes we can be downright in your face.

Answer 10

There is one in Aberdeen so I'm sure there is one in London.

As for the television,there's far too much of the bloody stuff.

Big cars=big pollution.Pity your American brains aren't so much bigger and better.

Answer 11

You've already asked this.

Firstly, we do speak English here, after all, we are English.

If you're dad works in the embassy, you can probs afford to go to private school (known as public schools here), which are perfectly fine.

But there is the American School in London, in St Johns Wood.

Answer 12

Well on behalf of the English I hope that you either learn that there's plenty of good stuff in our country, or that you just f*** off back to America.

Maybe an English school could teach you some tolerance to different voices and different lifestyles.
