Please, please listen to me....

Hi there, It is specially for people whose mother tongue is different and are willing to learn English language and learn its application in the correct format. Yes, I appreciate your idea and that would be a great help for those who are really eager to conceptualize this language. About creating a new 'interest' even we can do that. Thanks for the tips.

Thank you Canellita. I will explain on what you have put but only after coming back from my college. Now running short of time. But whatsoever you have put ignited some new thought in me. Will tell you. Just wait...

Hi Canellita, I know all those claim to have good command over this language do not have that much as much they think but they are not to be bothered for they are not aware about the common errors or mistakes that they commit but some are there who frankly speak that they are weak in English and would like to improve on it. Now can not you and say I ( I too might be in a false notion that I know English )could be of some help to them. Am I wrong?

Friend, your English might be a bit complicated for someone just learning. Your sentences tend to be very complex with many modifiers and deeply intellectual, though the verb tenses are not always "correct" according to what American English standards are. American English differs slightly from what is spoken in England and there are formal and informal standards as well, though I can not speak on British standards for I am not familiar enough with them. Your English in your myLot discussions tends to be very formal and even academic for the most part and sometimes the differences are subtle such as using the word "the" where it is not needed. For example there is a sign above the buffet in my favorite Indian restaurant that says "please use the clean plate" where Americans do not speak this way. We would say "please use a clean plate." The use of "the" seems appropriate and correct especially when translating from a language such as Spanish or French that assigns a feminine or masculine le or la designation to a word but this may be one of the few ways in which English is simpler. Although in England one would say they were going to university or to hospital but in the states it would be to the university or to the hospital. I think the biggest issue I see is the proper verb tenses, though native English speakers have trouble with this as well. You sometimes get very deep and philosophical with your discussion posts and the language can get a little complicated when your eloquent words weave round and round like vines. None of us are perfect typists so this sometimes complicates matters further if typing too fast when posting to myLot. There are just so many factors besides one's grasp of a language.

You can add some of them as your friends and give them some advices or lessons if you see that they are motivated to learn.

Yes, that is one way out....

I d on to deny the fact. But if you see the Chinese they are really here to learn the Language more than making money. If tomorrow mylot alerts that no money would be paid still some would be there. I know one fellow who started later than me but in number of the post he long surpassed me but if you had read his language you would run for life that English could be so hilarious.

I appreciate your response Polav. Thanks a lot.

Hi there, This is nice that you are an on line English teacher. If you have written this tag on the profile surely people would approach you.

hiya, well i'm happy to help if anyone wants but i don't want to be inundated which is why it's not on my profile. jb

Yes, learning has no end and many consider mylot as a plat form for improving their English but they do not get any assistance. Sad scenario.

Hi zands, English in the second language situation has ever posed a hurdles for spontaneous expression of ideas. Only those who have strived hard have succeeded and by this i do am not up tailing the writing ability of the native speakers. Writing and speaking are two different issue. You said it correctly that most myloters who have origin ideas cut a sorry figure while trying to translate the content from their own language becomes a garbage can like and they themselves feel this and finally call it a day from mylot. People are not inspiring and if goes through the TOS o mylot they can not do so as well. But I feel you can do something to help out. Create an interest and lets try our hands.

Hi Bing, No offense. Yes as I am in the profession therefore feel bad when see some users fumbling with the language. People really wish to learn but if things keep going on their pace it would not serve any purpose unless somebody points out the errors and of course interest should be hinted from the other front too. Thanks a lot.

Hi thea, I applaud your venture. That you do not get a good response for there are some who think they are walking in the right shoe and hence learning or getting corrected is a kinda lowering their own image. But I know there are surely a large number of them who would be happy to get assistance. I personally thank you for contacting the mylot admin.

Hi krajibg, that is why it was aimed specifically with the idea of people asking if they wanted assistance, not offering it to everyone. I think the post did not get seen by enough people and I should have asked Mike or Lamb if they would be willing to post it in the first place as their topics reach much more people on here.

No, those who are really eager to know would stick to their mission. They are not like you and me all ego ridden.

Hi there, You are right in the TOS it is statd that no one would attempt to belittle or make fun of the poor English of some mylotters. And this is indirectly an warning that you mind your own business. Even I do not think in consent of either party if correction is done the admin has nothing to do. But who would love to stoop and before whom? With sort of English neither they are earning nor learning. At least one should be there. If there were a category or interest like "Learn English Language" at least those aspiring to develop their skill would get benefitted.

Hi, If you have the zeal and interest none would stop you from learning. All the best. Keep in touch.

Hi, We are seriously thinking of creating a new category where all those who feel their English is not up to the mark could write there. And your co operation is highly solicited.

Surely. if you do not feel bad you could PM me your problem and I would try my best to help out.
