Congratulations to non English speaking members.

Hi Sherry, I am sure it must be very difficult for a Chinese person to learn English. I would find it impossible to learn Chinese. I have been twice in Shanghai and found that a lot of people spoke some English and were so keen to use it. I greatly admire you and our other non English speaking members for their amazing achievements with a foreign language.

There are many many dialects here,I chould not understand the Shanghai dialect either..even two adjoining villages have their own dialects..However the northern part of china is totally different..people from different provience share the same dialects,between which there are some subtle differences...

Well said, mysdianait, and they even manage to get discussions under the correct category. Not like me who thought I was writing under people and then it came out under fruit. Thank you for your comment and support. My apologies for the wrong category!

I spotted this in 'no responses' and would probably not have seen it had it not have been there but looks like it hasn't made much difference as it is reaping its 'fruits' just the same

I think that it is a matter of practice. I am Filipino too, but English is our Second language and that is the main reason why Indians and Filipinos are around the globe to work because we have been using English (universal language) . If you may ask, a lot of Filipinos and Indian members are here. We can speak English well and try our very best to write English as well. But with regards to grammar and such,well we still continue to polish that and striving our very best so that we can improve ourselves both oral and written. Everyday i use to speak English because hubby is Indian and our common denominator is English language . For four months of being a member here on Mylot, i have learned a lot of good things as well as the negative ones with regards to earning money online. So far, I have created my own blog that earns a penny everyday. Aside from that, I also participate on review sites that pays me good money by using English as a major tool for writing. So i still thanked my teachers who taught me English. Nobody is perfect but as long as i can express myself well and others understand what i am saying, that is important to me .

Hi Celestial, I am pleased to hear that you are being treated well by Mylot members. It is the wide international range of contributers that makes Mylot so interesting. We are happy to have your comments.

Hello always_natalia, congratulations on your excellent test result. Your pupils are lucky to have such a good teacher. I suppose there are words in every language that do not have a direct equivalent in another so it can be difficult retaining the same meaning when you translate.

Thank you for the compliment, that's very kind of you :)

Hi yetigirl, what a clever young lady you are. I think German is difficult so I imagine I would be useless with Russian and Japanese. Thanks for the offer on Spanish but with at least 30 verb forms I will pass on that one. Thanks for your interesting response.

for me,reading and listening english is much easier than writing and speaking. i always have trouble in finding a suitable expression. maybe because i know few phases.i hope i can improve my english expression through writing on mylot as well as make new friends all over the world here.

Hi quianmozi, You are doing very well from what I can see. Hope you continue to write on Mylot. Ask if you need help.

Hi daftarbaru, you are doing very well with your English writing. I am sure your confidence when speaking will quickly grow. I love Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is my favourite city. The standard of English is generally very high there and the people are so friendly.

I'm glad to hear that. Seems like you have been come in Malaysia, it must be great moment. My wish is to travel and further my study at Germany in Electrical Engineering course. But, I have no lot of money, so the way I could only further my study is in local University. So sad. Anyway, glad to have know you Colmuc.

I know just wished she would try harder

Hi Lakota, It is strange that she does not use what English she has and I understand it must be difficult for you. Fortunately many people are the opposite and want to practice their English at every opportunity.

Hi gr8life, thank you for responding. Always nice to hear from someone in my favourite city. You are very good with your written English and we all admire your skill.

Thank you so much, I'm so exciting to hear that, I will keep trying and do better, thanks for your encourage, I really happy about that.

Hi Kindy, thank you for responding. I appreciate that it is difficult for you and greatly respect you for trying. Please keep responding to discussions and you will soon be an English expert. You are already doing very well.

Hiyah Colmuc! nice topic.. about the Accent, well it's more of a Äccent-dent (accident)lolz, i think it still sounds Filipino-Indian style

hi strawberrychocodahi, my congratulations on your excellent English. You can express yourself very well and you are very easy to understand. I wonder what kind of accent you have when you are speaking.

Hi agv, I don't know if you are improving but I assure you that your English is very good. It is possible that I will come to the Philippines later this year and I am happy to know that such a high standard of English exists although I think very few will be as good as you.

Hi lantian, thank you for your response. I could pick out some grammatical mistakes in what you have written but must tell you that everything is very clear and nobody will have any problem understanding you. Only one word is wrong. "Wanna" should be "want to". Well done. Keep working on it and ask for any help you need. I am sure a lot of people will be willing to assist you.

Hi Colmuc!i really appreciate you encourage.i usually think over every single word that i write ,so that they can express what i want to say.i hope i have enough time to response the posts on the site.

Hi machatago, thank you for responding. You deserve all the praise and compliments that we English speaking people can give you. Your written English is excellent and I am sure you can speak it also very well.

Hi flaredust, I know Indonesia and like it a lot. I have visited Bali 4 times and have also been in Jakarta and Sulawesi. Last year I was in West Papua. Wonderful! It is because English is spoken worldwide that most English speaking people have become so lazy and don't try to learn another language. I hope you continue to contribute here and find it helpful. Thanks for your response.

Bali, sure many people know that place. That place is most wanted destination too at my country. You do a lot of traveling I guess. I'm also a mobile person but not for a leisure time purpose, but business. (sigh) I wish i could have time traveling just for fun

Hi babyfuzz, I am happy to hear that you feel welcome here. It is a good opportunity for people like you to improve your English and we are all willing to help you. Please keep posting. Thank you.

Thanks for responding, redsponge. It is certainly easier to learn a foreign language when you regularly get the chance to speak it. You are doing very well in writing English. Keep reading and responding on Mylot. We are happy to see you.

Hi chiepao, thank you for responding. Don't worry if you make errors when you speak English. I am sure English speaking people will admire your ability to use a foreign language. Please keep posting here.
