How Are You All So Good At English?! (7 Viewers)

JuveCampione · Oct 9, 2003

Why am I so good at English???? I'm not! I think I'm terrible comparing to the most of you. maybe you can see it through my idiotic mistakes.

The english that I do know, came from scholl. but as Martin said, learning english from school is nothing. so because I hear english a lot of times, I'm better at it.

OK...own up...how long did it take those who were learning English to look up their first swear word?

It seems swear words are pretty popular here now...naughty:dontcare:

I learned English from my father. He insisted that I learn English, despite the fact that I didn't live in an English speaking country until I was 12. Basically, he handed me the Bible in English and told me to read it, and if I needed help to use my French-English dictionary.

i was born speaking shakespearean. knave was the insult of choice in my household.

thees and thous abound, while "knocking thy pate" was worse than a threat of nuclear war....

Shakespeare, Wow I haven't read that in years.

I believe hamlet was the last piece of work that I read.

It was required reading in my College English Literature class.

Along with Othello, MacBeth, A Midsummer night's dream, Much ado about nothing.

Read a lot of Edgar Allen Poe as well.

That's some deep stuff.

I just watch the movies

KB824 · Oct 9, 2003

Sometimes that's a hell of a lot easier.

Especially when it comes to Shakespeare.

Layce Erayce · Oct 9, 2003

Dragon · Oct 9, 2003

Probably something to do with Hong Kong being a British Colony?

Oh come on, that sounds like a multiple choice test... :rolleyes:

I had to take about 3 blocks of major exams throughout the year, involving essays, creative writing and short anwers. It's bloody hard to score full marks in English exams, especially essays... so i'm still proud of my 94/100... especially since I didn't study

Congrats nonetheless, that's great for a non-English speaker

Where did that come from?

English is probably the easiest language to learn... well that's how I see it anyway. I don't think I know a single person who does not understand english.

He's American. They struggle to learn it.

They do, don't they?

Kalle - whether English is difficult or not depends on your native language. German and Nordic languages such as yours (Danish) and mine (Dutch) are closely tied with English so it's easy for us.

BTW - did you guys know that Modern English doesn't have any closer relative than Modern Dutch?

gray · Oct 10, 2003

We discussed this in another thread, I pointed it out before u did

Layce Erayce · Oct 10, 2003

ooh touche!

Meow · Oct 10, 2003

My point is people in Hong Kong still speak and write LOUSY English.

:down:

Slagathor · Oct 10, 2003

Yeah I know, but I'm so proud I needed to repeat it

BTW - here you go again with the "
