Hi everyone! How many of you dear myLotters are from foreign countries where English isn't native language? Well, I am one of those and sometimes I find writing here pretty hard. When compared books and myLot, i prefer this as better place to make your vocabulary English skills better and I think that this teaches a bit of grammar too. Do you think that writing and reading here is easy or do you have some problems with forming sentences? Do you have dictionary right next to computer or do you like to use internet dictionary more? I like to search for word from paper book and you can learn some other useful words when trying to find what you're looking for and then big dictionaries gives really wide range of examples of how to use that exact word and that is something that many internet dictionaries don't do(at least with Finnish dictionaries). Then if I want to learn more English, I'll go and find it from English encyclopedia. It's interesting way of learning too and it's quite effective way. I would like if you would give me some tips that boosts the effect of that English learning process that I go through every day using this great discussion place. Thanks in order!

yeah, I quite agree on your point. I do learn something from here. I am a non-English speaker and it's surely good for me to learn expressions from natives and more important various idea. We are raised in different background, hence our way of thinking would differ vastly though we have some in common. It's wonderful to learn something new and funny. some posts are even educative indeed. P.S. I sometimes look up some information from other sites and newspaper so that I have more topic to start. In this way, mylot promotes our study indirectly.

Yeah true, you learn funny facts and interesting things that help you having conversation with people since you have something to talk about. But learning English is the biggest process in this writing.
