Apologise for my strange english

Alucard · Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2004 6:21 pm Post subject: Apologise for my strange english

I recieved a pm from mr master of the forum about my english.

-I am a 14 year old boy who lives in belgium.
(had english this year for first time)
-I have a hard time picking up the correct english because o play lots of online games (they all use diferent spelling like i just came to find out
it aint yust but Just....)

-I really do my best to write correct and am not trying to make it hard for you people.

-I also use many short formes, if you don't like that i will avoid them.
-example:
bb = bye bye
ffs = For f**k sacke
brb = be right back
wb = welcom back
etc.....

-If it will be desided not to kick me i pre-apologise for my english, and please do correct me or don't (up to you nice people :p)

-If i will be kicked I bid you all fun and luck in life,love,gaming,and many more.
+ plz let me donate forces then.
Thank you verry much.

Don`t worry too much about it...at least you`re doing your best and making an effort, unlike most people in online forums and chats. At least that`s how I feel...I don`t really know what that PM said, naturally.

Anyway...you`re 14, and this is the first year you had English in school? Here in Norway, we start having English in school in the second or third grade(8 or 9 years old). Different countries sure have different school systems...

Speaking of this subject...I`ve noticed that the level of English proficency is much higher in this forum than some others I`ve visited, such as GameFAQs. Very few people say "there" instead of "their" and things like that...

English is one of the hardest languages to learn. It only seems easy to a lot of people --such as myself-- because we grew up speaking it.

Do not worry about it you are learning the language very nicely; it is totally ok to misspell some words. I remember my first time learning English it was somewhat hard to learn and write, anyway after some time you will be doing as fine as everyone in here does, I am sure of that so until then do your best ok. :wink:

Dont worry about the spelling and your problems writing english as those of us who are not natural english speakers myself included. I was born in Canada to Portugese parents who naturally taught me Portugese first. They also taught me english later on before I went to school but that doesnt mean I didnt have some difficulty. So some of us understand completely and we will be happy to help you if you need some clarification on something.

Since there seem to be no spell check in this board, what I could suggest is for you to actually re-read what you have just typed before you click the Submit button. Usually, you'd find one or two mistakes, and therefore you could correct them before posting it. Or if not, try to read after you post, and then edit if you found any mistakes. That would save time for others to understand your post.

But thank you for actually putting an effort of trying to speak better English. And one last thing, it's spelled "why" and not the letter "y" though they are pronounced the similarly. =)

1. "Y" is short for yes :) but i'll try avoiding shorts.
2. Iscalio yes i agree english is simple to speak and learn what the words mean,
but the writing is hard (i think every language is hard to write)

example :
-shut up => english
-zwijg => dutch

you see they are not really the same :p :)
+ i know a really cool word in english : "hybernation" ^^

Of course it depends on the linguistic backgournd, as you put it. But as a matter of fact English is one of the easiest languages in the world - no declension, nearly no conjugation, only one sex for nomina, no capitalisation, easy grammar etc.
