yeah my friend you are right my english is not good because my teacher is the worst and yup we need better people who to work in school
Ain't that the truth. I was lucky that I got some kick-ass teachers in English; today I can read, write and communicate better in English than I can in my native tongue. I feel confident and competent when I start writing in English, because after a point I started thinking in English. And it helps when you're mom has a masters degree in Classical Literature. :biggrin:
But yeah, I get your point. Most of whom I know have difficulty expressing themselves in English and it all can be attributed back to a lack of seminal foundation in the language. And I've found that most of the issues crop up due to the fact that people think in their native tongue and try translating it to English; not a very sound approach cause it effectively kills any writing style. The style of writing builds up from the actual grammar of the language. There's no guarantee that a sentence constructed in a specific style in a specific language's grammar can translate the style along with the actual text. That is why, the first thing I tell others is to start thinking in English. That helps building a style of writing and speaking.
And I've found this to be true on the flip side as well. I started learning Deutsch, aber mein Deutch ist nicht gut. And I know the problem there. I think in English, translate to German and then I have a hot mess of a sentence. That's why I try avoiding building complex sentences.:FuckYea:
as an Englishman who has dated a Slovakian girl and has many eastern European friends with this same issue, my best advice has always been to read a lot of English fiction.
the trouble with the English language is that it is extremely expressive and has, I believe, more words than any other language. I am half way through my 40's and I am still learning my own native tongue to this day. my ex-Slovakian girlfriend was studying English in her country with a teacher who was under qualified to teach her for her degree and quite often gave her bad marks for her work, which caused me a lot of holidays to speak with his superiors to explain how wrong he was. we had over 4 years of relationship and she only spoke her native language on rare occasions at gatherings and in that time her broken English improved so much that her English was almost perfect, while those of her friends who had been here just as long but didn't try so hard, were still speaking like google translate.
its a tough tough language and no doubt, which can be made doubly hard if, like me, you are not that good at absorbing new languages. try to get a few books in English of the type you like (mystery,horror,comedy,romance etc etc) by a few different writers and try them out, with a dictionary handy to help with context and slowly it WILL expand your vocabulary and understanding about diction. certainly teaches me more than schooling ever did
reading the text in this game I took more as funny than anything else as it is possibly the weirdest translation I have seen in awhile, even when its not meant to be, but that's just my sense of humour, such as it is
kinda reads like a really bad low budget soap opera lol
