Sorry for my English - in school I tottered always around a "4" (no idea about the English system, in the USA it would be a "D") The actual knowledge is based on vacation-trips (although my wife always complains my grammar and pronounciation), but mainly due the work as the international contact-man of the K 70-Club. And not to forget: due IMCDB When I'm here, always www.dict.cc is opened on a 2nd browser. A little sidekick must be: even at some native English speakers here, from the UK and the USA, I recognize, that their English hasn't university-standard *cough* The diction of an quite active member here, has some similarities with that one of Mr.Wang /movie_74937-Murder-by-Death.html -- Last edit: 2011-01-30 22:31:10 |

Some of the worst offenders against the English tongue on this site are native speakers. Your English is certainly better than any of my foreign languages. |

That's all right Sometimes I just find comments that look particularly wrong, but I always know what you mean. |

Which ones have you learned? |

French. I got a decent grade in it but can barely remember a word. I can also swear numerous languages. The kind of life skill you need every day. sandwad is another less than brilliant English writer. CF his tendency to use tommarow and compleated. -- Last edit: 2011-01-30 22:42:32 |

You are quite right, G-MANN, I am hard of hearing and my other language is (hand) signed language for the deaf. That is why occassionally my sentence structure can be bad. |

Also, in my case... my "english" (or some thing) is not too good. But if i were to speak Spanish, could understand just 5 or 6 users here. |

Don't ask me where I learned English... |

No problem, the main thing is, to make yourself understood Also a reason, why I had a dispute with my English teacher in school (and a reason, why she disliked me more and gave me always bad marks). For her classic English literature was important, also that our pronunciation sounds like the British English (my mother had to learn in the late 50ies in school the real Oxford-accent), but I would have preferred it, that we learn the all-day-language, that you are able to be understood -not only in Southern Britain- while travelling. |
