Because there are so many people from non-english speaking countries here, it can be hard to understand some discussions. But, if it is written in English, even if the grammar isn't correct, I usually can get the idea of what they are trying to say Sometimes though I have seen people posting in a language I do not speak so, no, I don't understand them at all. I think it would be impossible to understand every single discussion on a site like this one

English, when spoke, can be hard to understand even by people whose first language is English Written is much, much better.

It happens generally, some time I have to go through ;the discussions many time and even if I do not understand some thing in the discussion I am really angry and I had to return back and choose some other discussion to respond. Some time I even respond and say that you could not ask in the discussion what you want to say. Please complete and we can again discuss it.

I believe all of us come upon discussions we don't understand. English is my tongue, but it's hard to understand discussions even in English when some who doesn't know how to state their discussions where we can understand. I guess it comes down to understanding the meaning of words and putting the correct words together. Don't let your inability to understand a discussion upset you. Just move on to another discussion. There are many out there you will understand. I try to make it easy for people to understand what I'm trying to say.

There are discussions that i can't understand sometimes.I just leave it and go to other topic because i don't want to just reply without any knowledge about the topic.I only make responses to the discussions that i have something to share with or views to offer.

Honestly, Not all discussion I understand it. SO I just make a respond to discussion that I understand and can answer it. I don't want to make an incorrect statement that it will give me a negative effect. Keep post Happy myLotting...

well, there are indeed some discussions here that are difficult to understand...but i manage to understand them still somehow. if i cant really figure out what the person who started the discussion means, then i just skip it and look for another discussion that i can understand!

zhaosonghan hi dear one when you find a discussion that you find hard to understand because perhaps of language difficulties, just ask the poster to explain the discussion for you so that you can understand then you will be able to resp;ond to it. ask questions of us other mylotters, mostof us will love to help those whose first language is not English. I have also found some discussions that I too could not understand and I am an American. hi all mylotters, lets be'sure before we leave our discussions that they are easily understood by all.

Hi friend! I do understand discussions here even though my native language isn't english. We have english subject in school and I love to read so it helps a lot to be familiar with the english language. Mylot would be the best site for you to improve your vocabulary. Just keep on posting and responding to discussions. If you can't understand the discussions very well you can always ask the topic holder for some help. Ciao!

Hi Zhao, I can't understand some either. Especially those in other languages or topics concerning cars, sports (I only know football)or computer softwares and hardwares. No need to get upset; just skip those discussions, and enjoy myLotting!

I am sorry if someone is obviously not English I just cannot get angry Instead i admire their perseverance and attempt to answer in English even though it is broken and not what an English teacher would like to see. I am English speaking and if their is a discussion post that i just cannot comprehend then i skip to the next discussion but i would never comment with a negative comment to the one i passed up Good Luck Have a Great Day
