How did you learn grammar?

catwoman1075 @catwoman1075 (23) • Thailand 9 Apr 07

For those who studied English as a second/foreign language, did you learn it inductively (learning by doing) or deductively (learning by memorizing)?

alexandrie I learned through constant exposure. I read books, and yakked away in English a lot. I know many students elsewhere in Asia learn through memorization. I think, however, that learning by rote isn't a good way to improve your grasp of the language because there...

alexandrie I would have loved to, but I like asking silly questions and questions people would jab me in the eye with paperclips if I ever asked them in real life. If I give ratings, I rate honestly, perhaps even cuttingly. That won't do me much good because I'm sure I'd...

alexandrie You could try blogging. Some companies pay you to blog. Others pay you to plaster their links all over their blog. Many will tell you it's possible to become a millionaire through blogging. I suspect these people are on dope. It's possible to become filthy...

I've reached my goal of 500 posts! What should I aim for next?

ethanmama @ethanmama (1745) • Philippines 10 Mar 07

I've always thought that to achieve something, you have to put small, achievable goals first. Well, my first goal was to reach 100 posts and get the star. Check! Then either get to a rating of 10 or get to minimum payout. Check!...

alexandrie 1,000 posts is a safe bet. You're headed that way, anyway. But, if you want more challenge and to avoid ever feeling "anti-climactic"... aim for world domination, then. =)

Responding to Discussions?

Macthedj @Macthedj (630) 9 Mar 07

Do you try to respond to as many discussions as possible to ensure maximum earnings or do you only respond to topics that you know you can give a meaningful answer to? I myself like to answer to the ones that interest me or catch...

alexandrie I respond only to discussions I can contribute intelligently to. What use would people have for my "I think so, too" and "Perhaps, not"? Still, you'll have to forgive me for asking this very dumb question, but why is 100 a magic number?

Advertise yourself...and gain a myLot friend!

maribel1218 @maribel1218 (3085) • Philippines 10 Mar 07

The best thing to gain a new friend on myLot specially if you are a new member is to advertise first yourself in a manner that you will respond to a discussion that you can relate. Make yourself known by some old myLot members...

alexandrie Thank you for this advice. I'm new here. In fact, I just signed up an hour ago. Although the site and the prompts are user-friendly, I was still stumped trying to understand what to do. So, yeah, I'll advertise myself and I hope that the package sells. =)

alexandrie Yes, I beat my child, but I'm not comfortable using the verb, "beat." It sounds too violent. I prefer "spank." I spank my daughter when she has done something wrong. Done carefully, spanking is a good form of discipline. It's a child's nature to be...

alexandrie Try Joseph Heller's God Knows! It's a funny take on biblical history and your sides are going to hurt from laughing. For light reading, try Jennifer Crusie. For gorging yourself with the beauty of language and description, read toni morrison's song of...

Starline @Starline (681) • United States 9 Mar 07

alexandrie The one thing that made me think twice about marrying my husband now is his family name. I don't want to have to take it. Even now, whenever I see his family name attached to the end of my own name, I feel my hackles rise. Still, I ended up using his name, out...

lissienpaul @lissienpaul (478) • Philippines 10 Mar 07

I am a mother of a 7 y/o and a 6 y/o. Sending them to private schools may be one of the best gifts we can give them. Their school offers advance learning specially in mathematics and english. However, the cost of tuition fee...

alexandrie The choice between public and private school is heavily dependent on which country you're in. If you're in countries like the United States, England, the Netherlands, or any other country where education is responsibly state-funded, then by all means, enroll...
