Default Re: Has teaching English abroad affected the quality of the English you speak?

I often think that my English would be worse if I were in England. Whenever I go back and hear young people saying 'You isn't invited' 'Is your brothers here?' ' He don't respect me' 'Does you like it?'etc I'm not sure if it's done on purpose a la Ali G or whether they really do have a problem. At that point 'ain't' for every negative starts to sound good!
