I won't be hypocrite, that I am good in English, But I am trying to be good. But it's so difficult to participate in a discussion if you are not that good in english. So for those who read my post just forgive me if you find it very hard to read. We filipino do understand english and speak english but most of us are not that fluent.

I think that you do very well with your writing, and the more that you write and read peoples responses the better you will get.

I can imagine that it must be a lot more difficult for non English speakers to contribute on here, all the more reason to be proud of what you do write!!happy

Keep up the good workhappy

may i know what caused this post? you are not the only one who has difficulty with english. you see many trying their best here and, as time goes on, they say that mylot helped improve their english. it's really inspiring to read. the guidelines also say specifically that we're not supposed to comment on broken english that's why discussions like those get deleted.

i join discussions because they're interesting and you can sense the sincerity. when people respond to discussions i started, i try my best to understand them or ask them to explain further to avoid misunderstanding. don't let it stop you from joining discussions. mylotters are very understanding and helpful. thumbup

This could be your room for improvement to learn how to converse with other people. We are even required to speak in English even to our fellow Filipinos. In my case there are times that it is really hard for me to express the statement in English but I am doing any other ways so that others will understand my point in a very simple way.

Honestly, I hate English and English is not my thing and my weakness, but what to do, I have to learn English. That's why I'm using discussion and forums to improve my English. My previous Job as a BPO Tech Support really helps. There's a lot of way to improve, no need to ask forgiveness my friend, as soon we understand you, it's ok. Happy mylotting to all.

Hi Jamed. It is good to know that you're a Filipino. I am too. It's alright if you're not that good in English, after all it is not our primary language right? It is better to be trying than not trying at all. I'm so glad that you're trying your best. Don't worry, in due time you'll learn how to use the English language better than all the rest here at myLot. :D Keep trying, you're doing GREAT.

Hey! I actually think your English is very good!! I have read much much worse! What is annoying is when people write things which make no sense whatsoever, and I don't just mean their english been bad (I am sure I have read English/American posts which just make no sense and we dont have a clue what they are talking about!)

I think Mylot will help people who want to speak better english to learn more, and it seems many are doing fantastically- but it does get annoying when you cannot understand a word of what is been said...that is a little annoying trying to make sense of something nonsensical! :)

Just chill my friend. Don't degrade Filipinos by that kind of tone. Your speaking English well and everyone here would say that they understood what you said very well. I don't think that Filipinos are bad when it comes to speaking the second language which is English.

It has been part of our school curriculum from elementary to College and we are not on the last league for that. In fact, most Filipinos are around the world. We are on top of the worlds nation that can speak nor understand English. So be very proud of who you are, and don't say sorry for something which is not needed to say sorry for, it may sound even sarcastic.


myLot reputation of 72/100. jamed28 (1367)   ranked 27 out of 264 in philippines  2 years ago

I am chill. And excuse me I don't degrade Filipino. I am just telling the truth about the reality of English language in my country. It will be hypocrite for me if I say Filipino are Fluent in English. Yes I am aware of the curriculum from Primary, Secondary and Tertiary level that English is part of it. And I am also aware that even though it is part of the school curriculum even from kinder 1, on 50% of the 90 Million Filipinos understand English. And only 10% of that 50% can read and write it fluently. I don't invent this number, try searching the net.

Man I love my country and I don't degrade it. I may had said that Filipino ARE NOT THAT FLUENT IN ENGLISH, it doesn't mean I am ashamed of it. I am just merely telling the truth. And it is undeniably true. If you are here in the Philippines, try to look around you. It doesn't mean we are not fluent in English we are a less citizen of this Earth. We should be proud that even though we are not that fluent in English, at least we can understand it. Unlike those English speaking country, they don't understand TAGALOG.
