True. We're not English, but most of us have been taught English at school for quite a long time, so grammar shouldn't be a problem. I see people struggling with English grammar in this English forum I'm posting in aswell ... Mostly their/they're/there and then/than. But yeah, you're right.

 

Let's leave it.

And they lived happily ever after.

 

How have learned so good English?

This years I haven't learned so much English that I had hoped. Mostly because I haven't done a thing in my English class.

 

But games and movies have thought me a lot.

I've always been very passionate about the English language. Started teaching myself when I was in kindergarten. In my teens I've watched alot of English movies, learned through music and also talked to a lot of foreign people on other forums ...

Cool.

 

If there is one language I want to learn it must either be Garlic og old Norwegian.

[dabear]

You're gonna learn the Garlic language? How come not the tomato language? Almost all people I know prefer tomatoes over garlics...

He he, I think you know what I mean.

EDIT:

 

After a quick search on Google.com I found out that it is written: Gaelic.

You might all be better than me at writing proper English.

 

 

But damn, my Scottish will kick your asses any day.

[Skogli]

Ohh, write me a text with Scottish please.

[Knofle]

Scottish is much more capable of kicking somebody's asses when it comes out of the mouth than it is capable of doing it written.

Aye, this man is smart.

[Minus]

I have a friend who's part Scottish and part Norwegian. Quite funny to listen to him and try to understand what he says when he talkes.

I just have one small question, since English isn't one of the things I'm really good at, do you guys think it's ok if we correct eachothers mistakes?

[Skogli]

KristianG: Yes, If someone see a mistake at anyones post they are more then welcome to correct it. That way everybody helps everybody.

Good idea.

 

You should use in instead of at in your post, and than instead of then.

I don't have my grammatic on the highest level.

Well, work with it then. Not that hard, and not a dumb thing to do

Hmm, I wonder what my English grade will be this semester. Aparently, I was very close to a 6 (the grade), but we had this silly project we got a 1 on, because we simply couldn't do it. If that project had worked out, me and my friend would get a 6. I can't wait to see, but I wrote a silly paper about a Chinese guy being executed because he criticised the goverment in his blog, but I think my teacher looks at my spelling errors etc instead of the material. By the way, what's correct? To refer English people, 'English' with a capital 'E', right? Not english people.

Since you're looking to get a 6, I thought I'd just help you out a little..

Capital E in everything that's related to countries is the rule yes..

As for the spelling opposed to content, I've been majorly frustrated about that myself over the years.. In 2nd grade of high school the content is very important, but if your spelling is sub-par you won't be able to achieve a top grade I believe.. Complexity is also an important factor.. Some difficult words and phrases in a text and you'll melt the teachers heart..

Hmm, I think I can blame the 'gotten' on Internet slang and/or America. And I must say using Clue during the terminal examination is almost funny. You can get so many weird words you've never even heard of, and it isn't really cheating because it's a dictionary and dictionarys are allowed. For example, here's a quote from my terminal examination. Ironically, grandiloquence means you're pretty good using words (stortalenhet).

 

Ths time Chink spoke with grandiloquence, apologising for his actions and saying that he did so, indeed.

[Lidskjalv]

Ths time Chink spoke with grandiloquence, apologising for his actions and saying that he did so, indeed.

Fankly, I think that's word masturbation and should be avoided by all means. I suggest:

"Ths time Chink spoke with great passion, apologising for his actions and saying that he did so, indeed."
