Excuse my English, please!

Hi Banipenet. Its ok no one is perfect and I don't think most of members here criticize anyone's English. Its ok and this is a great site to learn you English as it is somewhat same as having a conversation in English. I would be happy to help you in anyway I can as I have been a teacher before and used to correcting student papers. Don't be discouraged and just have fun here in my lot!

Are you sure you are not a native English writer, banipenet!? :-) From your post and comments, it appears that you are very good at expressing yourself in English, really! I am a non-native myself and I am not very good at expressing either. You are right about this site as a probable learning experience, I know I have learned from here. I do like when people can correct me and make me better at expression. The amount of motivation and willingness you have with the type of respectful and learning attitude that you exhibit, I believe you will learn quick enough! I hope I will learn too, from you and others! Best of luck!:-)

Banipenet, I would say - 'Where there is a will, there is a way'. If you wish to learn 'English', you will surely learn it or for that matter anything, provided you should have detemination in your mind to learn the language. Remember, English may not be your mother toungue, so it takes time to 'master' the language. I believe, the more you write here on mylot, more you will learn automatically. Besides, please keep reading some English magzines, books and Newspapers to upgrade and enhance and brush up your knowledge. All the very best to you. I would be there to support,whenever you would ask for or whenever needed.

Hi banipenet, I see that you are trying hard to improve your English which I do have the same idea. Fortunately, I found an English teacher in mylot who is willing to teach English for all Chinese students. If you are not a Chinese student, fear not, I bet she will still accept you as long as you are able to express your interest in improving your English. The person I recommend is deckardt which is in my friend list so I hope you can take a look at my list of friends and find the person whose username is above mentioned. Add her and me as your friend and we can improve our English together.

Hi, I have the same problem too. There is a few times when I respond to discussion and being told that I mistaken their meaning. and I cannot write well too.

i have no problems in english since i've been studying it since 1st grade.. its great that you are trying hard to improve since learning english is important... wish you all the best

Well i have made a lot of spelling error already in mylot and got critize like hell prehaps i should also ask for everyone to forgive my english also yea laugh out loud

i think its not a big issue here. there are many who don't have english as first language. its same here. still i think mylot improves the english a lot.

Don't worry about it. Your written English seems to be pretty good to me as it is. Don't let the fear of misunderstanding or of being misunderstood stop you from posting on MyLot. There are a lot of people on here who are not native English speakers and I for one, don't take any notice of poor English if it's posted by someone like you - It's usually possible to work out what the poster means English as a language is pretty flexible when it comes to grammar and sentence structure, it can be mangled quite a bit and still be understandable.

bani, I think that your usage of English is very good! you know, even we who have English as our native language tend to mess it up quite a bit - sometimes out of laziness, sometimes out of local dialect but often times out of ignorance. my spelling is atrocious!

English is a very dynamic language. It changes and progress every now and then. I admire you so much for being so humble and truthful. Humility is your key to success, I must say. Though I'm an English teacher, I still commit mistakes sometimes. Well, no one of perfect. Let's try to progress everyday.

The idea of improving your English here is a great idea. The only down side to it is that so many people use poor English, and I do not mean just those who are learning. Many native speaking English people seem to lose their grasp of the language when posting here. I think that it is wonderful that you are so open to corrections. I will be happy to help you in anyway possible, just let me know.

ur,i have the same problem with you,so come on,for common progress!

me either, got some problems... its not about in writing or in speaking, but sometimes my responses are irrelevant... heheh because of language barriers.. but it's not a problem though, we should just keep moving on, well as they say practice makes perfect.. hehehe.. i am new here.. can i ask you to be my friend? we can share discussions... heheh
