Do you need help with English?

I've noticed several people from countries around the world asking questions or needing help with learning the language. English is my only language, but I'm quite good with it and I've spoken it for almost 30 years! Please feel free to ask me any questions you have and I'll do my best to answer everything (or help find the answer if I don't know).

Congratulations. I admire your perseverence. You can learn most of a language from dictionaries, but sometimes you need to learn how sentences are put together in a different way. I hope you don't mind me correcting one thing: "my english is not all the time perfect:P" "my English is not perfect all the time :P" You're doing really well, keep it up.

You're very welcome. That is the problem I had with languages at school, I couldn't grasp how phrases should be structured differently. I think that once you learn that aspect, you are pretty fluent.

thank you for correcting me:)... thats where I make most of the mistakes... sometimes the topic of a sentence is different for the one in my language... an advice like that is always welcome;)

Your English seems perfect to me. A professional might find mistakes, but I think you write as good, or better English than most British teenagers who will be leaving school this year!

I'm rooted in my home city in the North of England, but I love the Netherlands. I have visited a few times, first for the smoke, but I learned quickly that the netherlands is a great country. Everybody is forward -thinking and progressive, rather than stuck in pointless traditions like England. I would like to visit Eastern Europe generally. I love being outdoors and parts of Poland and Romania still have undisturbed forests which is very rare in the UK.
