You do just fine! I think you write very well for using a second language that you don't speak. You'll get better and better as you practice and making the occasional mistake is natural. That's how you learn!
You actually write and spell better than many young people in America. They are so used to texting in short words that are misspelled that many of them can no longer put together a recognizable sentence without a lot of thought!
Happy New Year! I hope your Christmas was blessed and happy.

Hi dragon: I agree with you, we can get better if we practice a lot a foreign languaje and that's what we, the persons that are just practicing english can do here in the forum but you must be sure that sometimes we commit a mistake, every person commit mistakes when they write something really fast, for example if you like the discussion and you write inmediatly a response you will probably forget how to write correctly a word, etc. by the way, i hate when people short their words, it's so annoying. Thanks for your answer. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take Care.

I can relate to you because I'm not good also in English and it is not my first language. I'm a Filipino and many Filipinos are fluent in English that's why I'm ashame of my English sometimes when I've read there discussions here because they can express themselves better than me. Honestly I'm been struggling to write a good post here sometimes I made mistakes too in grammar and spelling. Mylot can help us to improve our English don't mind your grammar as long as your English can understand by others it ok.

English grammar. Before writing in English is very hard now I find it fun and rewarding. Cheers!

Hi codris! I'm not an english native speaker too. I spend minutes just constructing a sentence, which sometimes is grammatically wrong. I sometimes find english difficult. LOL! Well there is always a room for improvement. Let's just do our best to learn english. Cheers to us english learners! Happy mylotting!

hi, believe me nobody is perfect. i can bet you that even your italian has a few errors in the spelling. BUT, we all make such mistakes, because we are human. each person have a spelling problem, no matter what the language. Have you seen the spelling on mix it and twitter? that is bad. So don't you worry, we can read and understand threw your few SMALL mistakes. If i can make a suggestion, try reading any english book that you fancy, believe that will help you a lot.

Your discussions are fine. I think myLot has been a good learning tool for many people who do not speak English. Have always heard the English language is the most difficult language to learn. So many words are pronounced the same yet they are spelled so different. I was born and raised in an English speaking country. Keep writing and posting since practice makes perfect. Happy new year to you also.

Hi codris: Don't worry my friend, you are not the only one that has some problems. English is my second languaje so it's difficult to me too but at the same time i am glad that i have to make an extra effort when i am here in my lot because this makes me improve my english and that's excellent and i am sure that even if english is your native languaje, sometimes when you write too fast you can forget to write tome letters. Basically I have understood your message and that's what really matters. In my case I know Spanish, then i learn English; after that French and I am planning to start learning how to speak Italian for the next year. Maybe we should be friends. Thanks for starting this discussion. Don't worry. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take Care.

There are several avenues available to you to improve your English - listening to English News channels on TV is one such avenue. myLot Management is kind to those who are not fluent with the English language as they have specifically mentioned that fellow myLotters should accept their contribution and try to understand what they write. So keep writing.

It is always a problem using a foreign language and I can understand how difficult it can be. The way that we construct a sentence is often very different, which does not help at all. Nevertheless, your ability to write in English is very creditable, if the site was in Italian then I would be totally unable to post at all.

hello codris,
I don't have any problem in responding to your created discussions. I think there are interesting and I really don't bother with some grammatical or spelling mistakes, as long as it interest me and you are making wonderful topics all is fine. I myself have difficulties in the said language for it's not my native tongue and I really don't speak in English when I'm at home. So don't worry about it! Just enjoy what you have started doing and for sure your "English" will improve in no time.
Happy Lotting!
