Several people have brought out cultural differences between the US and India. However, I would like to ask about language. Based upon my personal experiences with call centers and such, I am aware that this can be a problem.
Does learning US English present a problem, or is that just one more set of classes that must be taken?
Does the ability to speak US english set one apart (is it more valuable to an employer) from other employment candidates, or is that only for those who deal with North Americans?
Do non-english speakers have issues (like, dislike) with english speakers?
Is there a difference between learning US english and UK english, both? or does it matter?
How early does one begin to learn english as a second language? (The european model is to begin around the seventh, eighth year of schooling, I think...)
