language speaking, are you perfect?

aside from english and filipino, i don't know other language, foreign language to speak with. although i am not perfect in english language, at least we can always improve it, as this is our main language of communication elsewhere.

I have a knack for languages, and i noticed it when we went to pondicherry for a sight seeing...I was hardly five then and within five days, I picked up a lot of tamil words and I could communicate with locals in broken tamil...Since i was in a convent school, english was a natural language and we were fined if we talked in any other language. Malayalam is my mother tongue and i speak it well, though I can write or understand very difficult malayalam literature. I am quite comfortable in English, i read a lot of enlish novel and watch a lot of English movies. It does help to improve your vocabulary and you can cath on with the british, american accent...You will get to know more about the world. Very few people speak english in the world...You go to europe, you will find it difficult to communicate in english. Learn german, spanish or french to communicate there...Also in China, less people speak english...We Indians have an inclination to english becauss eof our history with british rule... Now I have been staying in Bengal for the last five years, and I speak bengali fluently...I cant write, but read a few alphabets...I should understand assamese and orriya...atleast a bit. Now I am better in tamil, though I cant say I am fluent in it yet...I do try to pronounce words as they should be, coz prononciation gives beauty to the language...

I speak Japanese - I learned it throughout high school & uni. My tip to learning & speaking another language well is to think in that language whenever you speak or write it - it's much easier than thinking in your own language & then translating to the language you are trying to speak.

I'm a Chinese so I could speak Mandarin for it's our official language. I could also speak Shanghai dialect which is my mother tongue. I regard it as a language for it sounds quite different from Mandarin, which is more than the differences between English and French. I could speak English for it's a compulsory lesson from elementary school to university. My English level is not as high as Mandarin and Shanghai dialect, but enough for me to do daily communication. I could speak a little Japanese and German, but narrowly limited to greeting.

I know English very well even though I am from India but here I am learning some languages like Hindi, Telugu,which I don't know properly but as I know English very well we could share thoughts in English and I also know Urdu which is actually my mother tongue. It is a really good idea indeed to communicate and share thoughts with each other in different languages as we will come to know other languages better and when somebody of that place visits us, and in case he/she doesn't know our language we could interact with him/her in his/ her language.I really appreciate your idea. Have a nice day!

Hi, I can speak 3 languages. I know Hindi,Marathi and English:-)

I can speak hindi, gujarati, marathi apart from english..Although i am not expert in one particular language but can communicate well in these languages... I think the sign language is a universal language which we can use where we are not able to communicate in local language of the place...I want to learn the sign language and wish to learn french too..There are so many sites and material available in internet through which we can learn any language...But till then we dont communicate with local language speaking people we dont get the exact idea of specific language..

I am a jack of all languages but master of none! . I am quite a linguist, not bragging but I do speak a number of languages and our local dialects here. English is one that I am probably quite comfortable in my daily conversation besides our national language and a splattering of few chinese dialects. My mother's tongue is called 'Kadazan' and to say 'Good morning' in my mother's tongue is 'kotobian doungosuvab' and in our national language it is 'Selamat Pagi'. Interesting to exchange greetings here in different languages.

I Am Sorry I Don't Know Chinese,Filipino .. But I Can Speak Hindi, Kannada. Tulu And English Of Course .. Which All Words Do You Want An Answer For .. Do Let Me Know .. I Can Try To Be Of Help If You Need To Know The Phonetics In Any Of these Languages .. Thank You ..

Guten Tag... The only language I speak well other than English is German. I wish I had studied other languages, but oh well...

If at all one can improve by reading it on mylot, one could improve English language alone, provided as a non-native speaker of English you know to recognise good English from bad. If you can do that there are some very good native english writers over here whose style is just about right for modern communication. As the poster above me said there is not nuch a native speaker could [B]gain[/B] here on myLot in Language Skills. If at all they do, they could pick up an idea or two about organising their thoughts.If they are already good writers that would come naturally to them. Further, if you are thinking of spoken language then here there is very little one can convey on phonetics through a totally written communication site like this. You may able to get references for sites from some people.

hi!. I am a filipino. Ok let's translate some words. I - Ako You - Ikaw We - Tayo He/She - Siya They - Sila Thank you - Salamat How are you - Kumusta ka? You can ask me for other words' translation.

Hello my friend Sounds like a good idea don't think this can be done via discussion, you may have to do this in private message, read the guidelines to be sure, don't want your post to be deleted Really cool idea, not that I can contribute, just be careful my friend. thank you smoochesss

I am not perfect to speaking language properly..but i speaking hindi properly..but problem with english speaking...but i will tried to improve this.. and i believe..that i get succeed to improving my english speaking soon..

Dear friend, As English here is mostly used as a common language for communicating to tourists and foreigners. Apart from this I could speak Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada. All these languages of Indian languages. But to know an additional language is always a merit side. Here those who know foreign languages are in high demand especially in translation departments and call centers.

MyLot is definitely a great place to sharpen your English language skills. Unfortunately for us native-English-speakers, we really don't get to much out of it in terms of "improving" - because we're not allowed to start or respond to any discussions in any other language than English. I'm learning Japanese, and could use some help with improving my skills - but I won't find that on MyLot. And I honestly don't think that anyone's language skills are 100% perfect, not even people who have been exposed to it their whole lives. But I definitely think that everyone has at least a little room for improvement.
