hi monojhdhole You are really doing well for a person with English as a second language. I was born here in the US and learned our native language as a tot, but sometimes my grammar is not as well done as some of you just learning it . I applaud all newcomers here who must tackle English as a second language as its not the easiest language in the world to learn.I am constantly checking my spelling with the mozilla firefox spelling checker.I am fairly good in grammar but still must check to see I haven't made any errors. I think you are doing marvelously well myself.

I think it is in order to welcome all of the non native English speakers who are participating in this discussion. I am not always aware of where each person posts from or what language they speak as a native or birth tongue. Even people who have a large command of English vocabulary sometimes have to work on how they put their sentences together. We can all learn together, and have fun while we do it.

I'm portuguese, so I'm not so good in english, as well, but I try my best, and I think that what I write is 99.9% understandable. Nowadays, it's very important for everyone to be fluent in english.

You do really well, it is obvious that you care how you write your posts. You even have some of the common sayings done well. You would think that people who are native English language speakers would do well all of the time, but honestly, some of them do not care.Reading and responding on MyLot is a really good way to improve your English. It is easy to understand you and I would encourage you to continue. We all can learn by practice. I am so thankful that you are not doing text style speech.It is hard for people to understand. This is a great community to learn about things like language and cultural experiences as well. I suppose that you would say I am rich in the English language, because it is all I speak. Your are more wealthy as you have your native speech plus you are doing well in English.

English is the second- third language in our country. We still have more local language as dialects. At first im doing this mylot just to improve my english proficiency and the other one is to ear more. Most of the time i spnd lot of time here. I enjoy meeting new friends and i want to improve more. Now i am more confident than before. English is not my weakness. I can even speak and think more than before.

All languages needs a lot of practice to make it perfect. Likewise English too is a language that needs constant usage to be real good at it. Coming from a non English speaking environment, I think I am in total control of this language as I have learned this language from a young age and use it in most of my adult life. Coming to mylot has improved it further but still I can't parallel the native speakers as this is their mother's tongue.

I was born in the US so English is my native language, and sometimes I end up not speaking as well as I should. You are all doing very well in English, and I am sure it is hard for your, but you are doing quite well. It is the language that most countries are teaching English in their schools. I am so glad that I know English, as I would be lost without it, as it is the major language here and will be in other countries one of these days. I applaud the users that are learing English, as you are finding it harder than you thought, I am sure. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Since I was born, raised and educated in an English-speaking country (you cannot get any more English-speaking than England), my English is really strong. I can form complex sentences using a variety of punctuation and advanced grammar, and aspire to one day have a career focused mainly on the use of my English skills
