Greetings Zain. Not very bad for an English beginner.

Hi, I'm Zain. I'm currently a student of Business Studies. I'm here to learn English which is horribly wrong, but most of the time I get confused on the Internet especially when I speak with my native English friends. Also, I'm tired of my English spelling.

1) If you have seen a single letter underlined then that means that it needs to be capitalized { Example: english ; English } this is no big deal, however it is very important when you learn about Proper Nouns. Also I is always capitalized.

2) If you see a phrase underlined { Example: tired with my english spells ; tired of my English spelling } this is also a small English grammar correction.

Good Luck,
Robert

How are you? I hope you're feeling great! Firstly I want to thanks for the web links that u gave to me for learning Swedish language. It's so nice. Now I want to know that when I write in fill in the blanks (a): What's your name? Why it is Wrong? And in (b) I'm is correct but in (c) and (d) It's wrong. Why?
Waiting for an early and prompt reply.

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Sabi

Lynne Hand #2160

02/03/09

Hi Sabi,

In c and d you can't answer in the short form, if you give the short answer "I am," you can't write "I'm," unless you follow it with more information, as in "I'm John Roberts."

I hope this helps.

I attended the Secondary School of Economic. In the school I'm always dreamed to go to Germany, because I loved German and the dream was full.

After graduation I went to Germany and Austria for a year to improve my german skills.

I worked in München and Wien as an Au-pair, what I liked, where I received many experience with the children and met a lot of people und culture of these countries.

Now I'm working in a call center in Bratislava, where I can use my german skills, but I wish if I would also speak English . That's one of my new year's resolutions.

I have an older brother, his name is Ondrej. We have grown up under the same roof, so we love each other very much. What's a pity, t hat he isn't live no more with me

I'm a few friends, but the most time spend I with my boyfriend Michal.

At the free time I like listening to music, reading a german book and going for a walk wit my dog.

Hi, Lynne.

I'm the one who always starts reading a book from the last page I hope you don't mind that I've started to learn your lessons from the end.

I am a single mother of one sweet little girl. I am 37 and I work in a library. My girl is 2 and she goes to the nursery.

Before I'd had my daughter I couldn't understand these people who always talked about their own children as if they were the most beautiful and most adorable kids in the world. But now I am one of these boasters - I think my little girl is the most charming :)

Hi Lynne
I have finished Unit 1 from Lesson 1 - 5.
I am currently doing Unit 2: Lesson 11.
Which one is correct? According to the exercise.
(a) I have never try snowboarding (Wrong)
(b) I have never tried snowboarding. (Correct)
My understanding is not done yet and tried is past tense of try. In that case the answer should be (a).
Tried is past tense something that i have done, but i have not.
Confused, please help.

Hi,

My name is Gleber and I'm Brazilian. I'm living on the USA for 6 years now. I can read and understand pretty much everything but I have a lot of problems to formulate my sentences. Verbs, nouns and grammar in general are a big problem. After all these year in the United States I've learned a "street English" witch I know it is not the proper way to speak.

I have done couple English level evaluation over the internet for free and both came as Intermediate Level. Unsure about those results, specially because I'm no confident when I talk or write.

Most people say they can understand me and I can understand a lot, even people with a back country accent over the phone.

I'm here for help on my deficiencies and to help other people with wherever I can. I'm looking for better communications skills, since my job require that a lot (sales Manager).

Hi everybody! :)

My name is Vanessa and I'm Bulgarian. I live in the capital city - Sofia. I'm twenty-one years old. I'm office assistant in a little trading organization.
I have good and nice family. I have one sister and two lovely pets. My hobbys are swimming and travelling. For the last time I have been in Vienna before one month ago . Most of all I value my REAL friends as well - those who are by my side in good and bad times.
In my spare time, should I have it, parties with nice people have priority.
I believe that on his way to the next goal, a person should not step on the others and should not forget what he already has.

Hi Hashem,

Welcome to the forum.

Like many people your biggest problem seems to be confidence. Your message contains a few mistakes, but mistakes can be corrected. Unfortunately you can't learn confidence from a book, the only way to increase your confidence is through practise and having a bit of fun with English. (Don't take it too seriously, a grammar mistake isn't likely to kill you.)

Hi Jmbiz,

Welcome to the forum.

You have the typical problem of being good at the passive stuff, and not the active. Most adult language learners suffer from this. It basically means you have to increase the amount of time you speak and write in English.

Hi Hazhar,

Welcome to the forum.

Spoken English is one of the most difficult things to practise for a lot of people, but with the help of technology it's getting easier. Have a look at the "How to improve your spoken English" page on the website. Maybe join us on iVisit, the room should be open again in May.

Here's your first correction:-

Hi,

My name is Hazhar, I come from Kurdistan, Iraq i.e. the north part of Iraq. I am 20 years old.

I have a problem in speaking. I am good in listening, grammar, vocab. and writing my only problem is, as I said, speaking. When I want to start speaking I get confused, the words that I need don't come to me. I don't know why.

I'd be happy if you could help. So, how you can help me? Please tell me, I am new on this site. Maybe there is will be a problem in finding your answer, but maybe you can help me with that too.

Hi Meme,

Thanks for doing that.

It sounds as if you've got the two languages all mixed up in your head. Try to set aside a specific place where you only speak / think / write and listen to English, and set aside a specific time too. Also when you practise your English position yourself in a certain way. For example, when I'm speaking German I tend to grasp my left wrist with my right hand. It helps to calm me down, and reminds my brain that I'm in "German" mode. Also, see if you can meet some English speaking people, I know this isn't always easy, but Jerusalem is full of tourists from all over the world.

Here's your correction:-

Hi Lynne,

In my school English is the second language, so my English skills are so bad, also I'm studying Hebrew and that's the problem, from the time that I started to study Hebrew and speak it I forgot all the English I had learnt. I can't speak a sentence in English without using Hebrew words. I don't know what to do. I want your help teacher.

Frankly, in September I have a university entrance test, we call it "Psychometry", this will be the third time that I have done this test, but I don't have the mark that I want, to study biology.

Hello everyone,
My name is Jawad and I am from Pakistan. I am a 21 years old under graduate student. I've been keen to learn English from my younger age but as now I grew up so I would like to be more involved in English. Since last couple of days I am searching, reading, and listening a lot of content on the web because I made intention to give the test of TOEFL which is in earlier days of August. I've been giving online tests of English and I found my vocabulary and Structures are not really bad enough :P. My average score in both is upto 70% I am pretty much satisfied from that, now onward I would like to work hard to improve my speaking English because there is a Speaking section in TOEFL test.
So if anyone who is also like me and want to improve English then contact me in fact if there are couple of friends then we may have a Speaking English group. jawad47@gmail.com

27/07/09

My self Vishakha,

From India, :-).., and I love India

I have done my "Advaqnce diploma in Tool and Die making" from Indo German Tool Room, it is Technical education with the collabration from German and Indian Goverment,

There are very few girls in the technical education, mays it is because the work they have to is quite manly work, but however I would like to suggest atleast try to do it, because unless anyone tries no one knows what he/she can do.

Even My education was quite tough, we were only 2 girls in our batch, but now very few girls are doing job.
but I am happy that I did this technical education Today I am working equally with the boys not any physical work but some technical designs which are quite demanding.

I had also travel to Netherlands for my office work. and that was really a nice experience for me travelling abroad all alone.

The people in Netherlands are very friendly and cooperative, I liked them and some of them are my good freinds now.

This is a short story about me

I would like to keep practice my English, as in India we speak english very rarely when we are with friends and family, hence this site will keep me in touch with English language.

Good Day...

Hi Vishakhak,

Here's your correction (remember you should only post once a day in the lesson's section).

I'm Vishakha,

I'm from India; I love India

I have done my "Advanced diploma in Tool and Die making" from the Indo German Tool Room, it is a technical course in collabration between the German and Indian goverments.

There are very few girls in technical education, maybe because the work they have to do is quite manly work, however I would like to suggest that people should at least try to do it, because unless you try no one knows what he/she can do.

Even my education was quite tough, there were only 2 girls in our group, but now very few girls are in work, but I am happy that I did it. Today I am working equally with the boys, not physical work, but some technical design which is quite demanding.

I also travelled to the Netherlands for my work experience, and that really was a nice experience for me, travelling abroad all alone.

The people in the Netherlands are very friendly and cooperative, I liked them and some of them are my good friends now.

This is a short story about me

I would like to keep practising my English, as in India we speak English very rarely when we are with friends and family, hence this site will keep me in touch with the English language.

Regards,

Vishakha

They say she doesn't have a "mouth". Idon't know how to explain it. It means that when she met my parents she didn't bow or say hello to them, so they don't like her. It's funny, isn't it?

Hi everyone!
Lynne is on holiday but if you access all the bits of the forum that are still open you will still learn a lot.
The Games section is still open - I'm doing it! But I'm going to close this as I don't have enough time to answer everything.

Hi Ionel,

Welcome to the forum.

Here's your first correction:-

Hi,

My name is Ionel and I am from Europe. I am 24 and I am single. I work for a German company which manufactures medical systems. I like to travel all over the world and of course I would like to improve my spoken and written English.

Any help will be appreciated.

Ionel

Hi CNPP,

Here's your correction:-

Hello Lynne,

I am Tanveer from Pakistan. I moved to the Gulf for work and want to improve my English. I found this site helpful, so I joined the forum. You will find me here on the forum but probably not daily. I hope I will learn a lot from you. Today I read some posts in the Let's Learn Spoken English section, it really helped me to improve. It is a nice place. Thank you for providing such a great platform for English beginners like me.

(I am sorry, I posted it in another place by mistake but now I think it's the right place because I want to practice lesson 1).
