I am not a native English speaker and I feel my English is not good. In fact, it is very poor.
Sometimes I do not get the proper English words to express my feelings which I think in Bengali. Also I need to improve my grammar.
I will appreciate your help for pointing out my grammatical errors or lack of vocabulary; not only for this post but also future posts. I will never mind if you tell me the truth to improve my English skills.

@ichchhe_mrityu I have installed several spell checkers on my browser, and I would recommend you to install an UK or US English spell checker, it is useful to fix misspelling and little mistakes on capital letters.

@topffer This is a good idea. I have spell checkers on my laptop. I need to get that on my smart-phone as well. But you really pointed one thing very well, we learned UK English in our school life and now we mostly use US English. So, colour became color, centre became center etc.

@ichchhe_mrityu I think it is fair to say that some people here really don't like to be corrected so it might take a little while for people to realise you actually welcome corrections.

It's good suggestion and I tried that before. Here the advantage is that it's not a kind of training and my involvement is more in written English. There are plenty of topics to discuss on and it should increase my written English.

You know that most of us in the Western world struggle with a foreign langauge and could no more write in your language than fly. I admire you for even trying to be on a site like this where the language is difficult for you. I'll just say that the more you practice the more you will learn - good luck.

Well, maximum educated Indians know at least 3 languages - their native language (for me it is Bengali), most common official language - Hindi and the international language - English. We have at least these 3 languages in school. We also read Sanskrit in school life but that is not used as spoken language.

@jaboUK it's circumstances... if you were here you would also know these languages... not by choice but for survival...
