My English isn't good. I use the translator for everything, but I feel an improvement in my vocabulary after I have been here for a few days. I want to learn English and to be good in it, it's important to me. It also important for life. Have you improved you're English since you're here on this site? all those who say my English is good: i didnt any write the discussion. my Friend corrected all the errors. only this discussion.

Your English seem totally fine to me Even as an English person I've found my vocab and grammar has improved through using mylot purely because a lot of people ask questions of English speakers about language and I often have to look things up I don't speak a second language so anyone that does has a lot of respect from me Some members speak English better than others but very very rarely I need to ask for clarification...I can almost always understand them. Mylot is a good site to use to improve written English as it plainly states in the guidelines "Criticizing users for bad or broken English - We have users from all around the world, and they are welcome regardless of their proficiency with the English language. In fact, a lot of users come here to get better with their English skills. Let's help them out!" So anyone not so fluent can come here and not be worried about being absolutely perfect with the language. PS...I had to edit as I said you're rather than your at the start...nobody is 100% perfect

The last paragraph was a little confusing but the first one make perfect sense. "all those who say my English is good" = not really a complete sentence also I am left wondering who says this? Does the sentence mean only those people that say my English is good? Otherwise I can understand you.

@excellent10 sorry I meant yes I understood what you wrote but not all. I try to improve my writing everyday. I can be lazy sometimes and not try.

@Bluedoll There was a colon after the "all those etc", yeah, maybe it needed a "for" at the beginning of the sentence. Otherwise it's correct in a very informal spoken speech. I mean, I hope it is: I've never cared much about my puntuaction, for istance. @excellent10 Yes, I guess I'm improving. It feels like I don't have much left to learn, it's more about culture (expressions and sayings, or proverbs) I need to learn. Because I often use the same words many times.

Computer translations are usually bad and worse to read than a text written with mistakes by a beginner. Sometimes they are so bad that one can't understand them. You'll become better by reading, reading and more reading!

Totally agreeing with this statement. Much better to learn from scratch and steps by steps.

I know .. but who understands me so I'm happy and those who write English was not good and that's it. It's my choice I wanted to know more cultures. There are similar sites in the language of my country, but I wanted something different..

Talking to other people in their language is always the best way to learn
