two, to, or ...too

thats true

I have always heard that english is the hardes language there is to learn becaue we have so many words that can mean more than one thing and alot of words like in your sentence about beer and bear and bare are so close to each other.
Just like you can say I have some friends who are really cool but it can also go the ice cube was cool to the touch.
I wish anyone who is trying to understand the english language good luck.

The word(no pun intended) for the day concerning ESL and
posting in forum, etc., is kindness and empathy. Same
sounding words are hard enough, not to mention commonly
used phrases like shoe on the other foot, sauce for the
goose, pay the piper, eggs in one basket, etc., etc.,
etc,. We take so much for granted since we have grown
up hearing many of these phrases all of our lives.

Indeed. It is hard to learn a language that isn't really native to you. Even when you attend schools that utilize that medium of communication in order to teach lessons, then again, most classes find it convenient than using terms with their native language. Such terms like mathematical equations are hard to translate into our own language.

I often have more convenience on saying words that I don't know how to spell.

Aside from school, I've always appreciated movies with clear dialogues and not those with abbreviated lines.

english is a nice language, there are a lot of words to use to express anything you like to say.
and what you said is true. when you speak words with the same sound but different meaning it is more confusing than reading it. like "i see the sea from here." it is more confusing if you just heard it than read it yourself. nice discussion.

Well what you wrote can be a learning tool.

We can also learns from sight - to see and site - a location both in real life or internet.
And we lose things - this is a verb and loose means that thing are not tight.
And we seek advice - a noun but we advise a verb

We can turn MyLot into a no child left behind site.

nope I'm not confoosed, but stuff like that does confuse some people, in fact I love to do things like that with my kids to make sure that they know the difference

Its like Duff needed so much fondant, he kneaded a bucket of fondant.

And their, there, and they're is just as much fun,

I'm not coming up with any more but I have to say that I think taht there are more.

Mooch

you are absolutely right, some people on here are very critical and forget that there are many here who are not english by birth and english may be their second or even third language.

Yes, some people are confused with the same-sounded-words of different meanings and so often use the wrong words in a sentence. We sometimes see that here in myLot. Well, we have to understand that not all myLotters are very good in english, count me as one of them, so I sometimes use wrong words and mispelled the words. This is naturally true with those whose native language is not english, but even some english speaking people also make mistakes in spelling and proper use of grammar. Added to this is the onset of SMS or text messaging, when short cuts to words and phrases is written in the mobile phones, thus worsening the correct spelling of words and proper use of grammar.

If you do not speak English while growing up then i would have to say that when you try to learn it give it the best you can. And yes it is very hard to learn.
And yes so many words same spelling different meanings ( just sucks)

like you said two, to, or too. first of all i put what one i want tooo when i want to. and that is all there is two it LOL

I know meaning of them but still

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE TRYING TO GET THIS ENGLISH STUFF
