^ I memorised English lyrics before I was even able to understand what the hell I was talking about ... then it all came naturally.

You have a cool English. Not entirely correct, but kinda cute lol.

Though I always wondered how my English seemed like, when read by the English-speaking members on MB...

Your English seems totally normal to me.

Petula's is funny, in a good way.

NumberNineDream · 02-07-2010, 12:03 PM

normal is good...

I know what you mean with funny (in a good way of course). That sentence: So I post rather only this dragon with small Petula, made my day.
Do not improve your English Petula!!

adidasss · 02-07-2010, 12:05 PM

^^ It's superb, same with tore. I don't think people appreciate that enough! >:[

Btw, out of curiosity, would you get upset if someone pointed out when you make mistakes? You don't make them often mind you, but I know I've often wondered how many I make 'cos no one here seems to correct me and I'm sure I make some...:\

I liked that sentence too. At first I didn't realize that she was Petula so I was kind of wondering what it was.

I know I make a LOT of mistakes, that I notice 10 minutes later, and pray no one else notices them... I don't think you do much mistakes, and I usually assume it's just a typo. Plus most of the English and American members sometimes post something wrong also... so I think it's better if no one points out the other one's mistakes

adidasss · 02-07-2010, 12:19 PM

Lol, yeah, maybe it's best to just learn from others.

And you do NOT make a lot of mistakes, I didn't mean to imply that, really.

lol I know, I didn't take it that way.
But I notice how much I forget to include words, a problem I had since I was a very young kid. I just happen to say half the words in my mind, and write only the other half on paper.

NND, i think most people here can tell that English isnt your first language due to certain mistakes but to be honest i think your English is fantastic. If you do make mistakes, they are small and barely noticeable. I make mistakes too, my English is far from perfect and I am English.

Adidasss, when do you actually make mistakes for anyone to correct you?

adidasss · 02-07-2010, 12:47 PM

Yeah that's cool, happens to me a lot. I also frequently forget to add "n't", like I write "did" instead of "didn't". Weird. Sometimes I'm not sure if I wrote some English phrase right so I have to google it to make sure, even though I've used it a million times...

Like I wasn't sure if "all the rage" was an actual expression...crazy...

But yeah, I think only people who speak other languages know how difficult and rare it is for someone to reach a conversational level of proficiency in a foreign language. That's why I have to need to commend others...:\
