Post About me!

This post is only informative for me.

What do you think about me?

I have been around during a long time.
What do you think about my English?


I have a couple of questions more.

I'm your friend or your known buddy.

And I fulfill the expectation in English.

How do you consider me in the English ambit?

May I have a conversation with you in English orally speaking?

And by end.

During all the I have been here with you. Have you been disagree with me in the I have expressed here?

Please be sincere and don't lie me.

I can't answer your survey. I think you're on the right track, but the road is long. I think you should study more grammar and do more exercises. Well, I should do the same, too. Usually, you translate directly from Spanish into English, without noticing that English syntax is different from Spanish one. But a native can answer you better than I do (and without mistakes ).

I have a couple of questions more.

I'm your friend or your known buddy. I'm your friend or buddy (known is not needed)

And I fulfill the expectation in English. I communicate well in English

How do you consider me in the English ambit? How would you consider me
in an English-speaking environment (ambit is not a used very often)

May I have a conversation with you in English (orally speaking)?No need for the word orally speaking. How else can you speak?

And by end. And finally

During all the I have been here with you. Have you been disagree with me in the I have expressed here? Do you disagree with me in what I have
expressed here?

Please be sincere and don't lie me.
Most of the time I understand you. You are a kind an reasonable person.
I think you need to read more English and pay attention to the way
English speakers place their words, and you will improve. If you have
a question regarding how to say something in English, ask us. There are
many people here who are qualified to help.

Hace más de un año que estoy en el foro y no he visto ningún progreso en tu inglés y tampoco en tu español. Creo que el método de estudio (si es que estudiás) es erroneo. Haría falta que tomés el aprendizaje de ambos idiomas con seriedad si lo que querés es progresar, porque solamente postear no te va a servir de mucho. Vos mismo dijiste que nunca leíste un libro en tu lengua materna, y yo lo noto. Esa es mi opinión expresada con total sinceridad. Te deseo lo mejor.

*No tengo problema en tener una conversación oral, sea por msn o skype. La pena es que vos mismo me dijiste que por algún problema que tuviste con algunos argentinos, odias a todos los argentinos, así que no creo que quieras charlar

Jajajaj the trouble with the Argentine people is other history for me and it doesn't involve you.

Now I know that I speak bad my Spanish, I know, I'm not a teacher and I never liked me the Spanish course in the school, as in my town is said for the native people.

If my Spanish is understanding then for me is sufficient, I have spoken with people from U.S.A who they speak like me bad the English and they are native speakers, therefore, I believe if I don't like the grammar and much less study it, I don't believe upgrade my English then.

I respect your opinion Angelica,

Never you have been my friend, you should to know why.
And it don't worry me, really.

Finally Poli.

I know, I need to improve more my skill, but sometimes I'm so stressed with my job that nor I haven't time to study more the grammar, and and yes I transliterate my Spanish directly to English and well, I know it tend to be bad form, but well if you can understand me, then it's ok.

My goal is speak English of a way understanding, I don't pretend to be perfect, if I'm not perfect in my natal tongue much less, I will be perfect in English.

Don't you believe it?

I'm sorry to be inane with your arguments Okami and Angelica.
Because you want fix me in my speech and well I'm Méxican and I speak as all the other people.

Is perfect someone here in the forums?

I don't think so.

Then Ookamim you have dedicate your quite life studying the language of a form so perfect after you that often you can't understand to other.

Please don't upset with my commentary.
But the grammar is very bored at least I don't like, when something don't like you is impossible takes and learn it.

Thank you for your sincerity, really I appreciate that, here I can know who you are and what you think about me?

I can select to the correct people, I'm sorry for this way is the life.


Irmamar.

Never hey please pay attention.
I will forget you.

Always you the girl sincere and the sweet teacher for me, I believe the unit people in the forums who is able of understand my situation..

Thank you and remind, I appreciate you

Why don't you like grammar? Grammar is useful to learn a language. At the same time you're studying grammar, you're learning new words.

The only option you have, if you don't want to study grammar, is Chileno's method: read a book and translate it into Spanish. And then, read another book, and another, and so on.

Pero leer en español tampoco es malo. Es más, te lo recomiendo. Conozco gente que no ha estudiado mucho pero tiene una gran cultura solo porque lee mucho (libros, periódicos, revistas). No se trata de estudiar como se entiende en general, sino de disfrutar aprendiendo y sintiendo un poco de curiosidad por las cosas que te rodean.

Te animo a leer un poquito, un ratito en español y un ratito en inglés. Ya verás cómo mejoras en poco tiempo. (Oh, a present! I think there is a book inside).

Irmamar.

I appreciate your present.
And I will do the same that Chileno did it.

The Chileno's method is very useful.
I don't like the grammar, why, I don't know it.

I am Computation Engineer, I like the technology and the servers and networks too.
I like the trucks and like the movies, I like much other things, but the grammar don't like me.

Sincerely yours.

Remember: I don't like grammar. First you wrote it correctly; later, you wrote "grammar don't like me" (which means: yo no le gusto a la gramática).

El aprendizaje de un idioma para un adulto es un trabajo que dura toda la vida si la persona quiere aprender bien. Todos aprendimos de modo diferente, pero para aprender hay que dedicar tiempo. Este foro me ayuda mucho, pero intercomunicación me ayuda más.

El estudio de la gramática era esencial para mi. Lo bueno es que no tiene que ser un estudio avanzado sino básico. La gramática es la pauta en que todos los idiomas se coloca, y lo que encuentro fascinante es creo que esboza como funciona la mente humana, y si estás interesado en como funciona las ordenadoras debe encontrar la gramática interesante tambien.

Please correct my Spanish. Thank you.
