I like to watch the English news channels as they tend to cover more of the national & international news than the locals NEWS channels.The local NEWS channels give priority to the local news & a bit of national news & international news.

Which language NEWS do you prefer to watch?

I like watching our local news, I think it's a habit that formed since I am young. I watch English news channels sometimes, and part of my purpose is to improve my listening:)

...but wont you think that its necessary to know about international affairs as well?

I guess most people would prefer to watch local news in their own language for they could understand it without any difficulties. To those who is not an English native speaker, an important purpose of watching English news is to improve their English levels.

Well, since English is the only language I really speak I guess I'm stuck with the English news. I have always admired people who are bilingual and have always wanted to learn a different language. The problem is it is almost impossible for me to learn a new language without someone to talk to. I am told that as a small child I spoke fluent German. My grandfather was German and he and I apparently had many conversations. He died when I was four though and since then I have not had an opportunity to practice. Now, sadly, I only remember two or three words.

Hello Savak,
Hope you would be happy seeing my comment.
...the thing is as english is a universal language you dont have to think much.You can get to know the things with the english news channels.I know some 4-5 languages.I can understand some, talk some & even write some.


myLot reputation of 98/100. savak03 (2171)   ranked 591 out of 19,161 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Very happy. See that wasn't so hard was it? As I said I would love to know more than one language. I can say hello in, let's see, about 3 or 4 languages but that is as far into the conversation as I can get.


myLot reputation of 86/100. krupesh (1070)   ranked 455 out of 19,161 in questions & answers  3 months ago

...but as long as you dont forget english you need not worry ..hahaha ...


myLot reputation of 98/100. savak03 (2171)   ranked 591 out of 19,161 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I suppose you're right. There won't be any danger of me forgetting English. I can't shut up long enough for that to happen. lol

hmm.. I like watching both. In the morning, i like watching CNN, it really updates me on world news and the weather.. and at night, I like watching the local nightly news which focuses more on the national news.. I feel that my day is not complete if I wasn't able to check out the news.. I think it's really important that we keep up with what is happening not only to our country, but also to the rest of the world. lol


myLot reputation of 86/100. krupesh (1070)   ranked 455 out of 19,161 in questions & answers  3 months ago

..yes it keeps upto date on whats happening round the world.Whats your language?I mean your mother tongue?

The English news in Malaysia covers local and international news. They also covered the sports news as well as entertainment news. The English news also provide some interesting human stories before they wrap up. Many people do not watch the English news as their command of English is going down the drain in Malaysia because of blind patriotism to the national language! Myopic and proud!

I am not an American or an Englishman that is why I mostly watch local news. News about technology and some documentaries, I prefer to watch them in english. It could greatly develop my english speaking skill

Morning krupesh...living on a small Island like I do...there really is not much of a choice of which one can watch, unless one chooses to invest in a satellite dish as cable is not available. Thankfully, I get CBC which does cover national and International news...but oft I like to watch the local channels, to be alert as to what is happening in surrounding areas! Have a great weekend!


myLot reputation of 86/100. krupesh (1070)   ranked 455 out of 19,161 in questions & answers  3 months ago

ya its a bit of a disappointment when you dont have the dish.But neverthless be happy that you are atleast able to watch some channels.
