English is not my native language. I want to improve my English and this is the main reason for me to come to MYLOT. How about you? If English is your first language, why are you coming here?

English is my second language and I have used that since I was a little and therefore, I am here just to release my working tenses and to read bout what others have poured out of their minds and make some small amount of money to pay for the internet connection. LOL!

Good reasons for coming here: 1) to read what other people's minds. 2) to make some small amount of money to pay for the internet connection. I wonder if the small amount of money you make here is enough for you to pay for the Internet connection. lol...

hi shenz! English is not my native language because i am from the philippines and our language is filipino. however, i am pretty proficient in both oral and written english. although your motive for joining is a good thing, i don't think you can learn much from around here, as there are also others who do not write in very good english. so at your level of learning, you could not probably identify which ones are using correct english. anyway, as for my reason for joining, it is to earn. eventually though mylot became an addiction, much so that the cents that i earn here could no longer compensate the electricity i use up for being online and for the projects i sacrifice because i mylot. hahahaha

Hi, Spoiled311, To some extend I agree with what you said. It is quite true that English is not the mother tongue of many Mylotters here. we can not take everything here as right. We should have the ability to distinguish what is right and what is wrong.otherwise, we will be led to the wrong way . thanks for your response.:)

Hi Shenz.. English is not my native language. I'm from India, and from southern part of India, where we speak of Tamil language. I think i have considerably good command over English language,and i feel quite free to converse here with the fellow mylottians. And I'm here, to learn and EARN. Happy Mylotting. Enjoy Peace Within.Take Care friend.

English is not a native tongue here in the Philippines but it is considered here as our 2nd language. Almost all Filipinos could speak English I think. Even our beggars and little children know the language... :D

I come here for the sharing of ideas, and to find new ways to make money online. I love mylot, why not make money just for having an opinion?

On the one hand, we can make money; on the other hand, we can exchange opinions with others. This is a good idea. Thank you for your response.
