hi NS and prezbucky..
Isn't it fantastic that distance isn't a problem?
Anyway, I don't want to talk about transport, but I seek an advice or support. Formulating thoughts in English, including grammar and logical structure is an arduous process. Correct me, please. I have merely 3 from phonetics and conversation classes, I have to immidiately improve my speaking skills. Do you speak English everyday? |
Based on what you have written, your english is ok and most of the people in US should be able to understand you. *My english is not that fantastic either* :oops:

I have been enrolled to 3 phonetics and conversation classes. I have to improve on my English speaking skills as soon as possible.
Do you communicate with everyone in English everyday? |
{My english is not that perfect either and i *need* Torsten, moderators and fellow forummers originating from the english speaking nations to correct me} :oops:

Hi everybody,
Enroll- does it mean "to register or enter the list"?
In Poland "3" is a grade like C or D. I'm not cartain. If I had got 2 I would have not passed. But I'm not proud because I'm the worst speaker in my group. I always panic as a result I can't recall any single word in English. Horrible!
Thanks you a lot for your feetback :-) |

Enrol is a verb. {to put yourself or someone else onto the official list of members of a course, college or group}
Don't panic. Speak slowly and clearly... :P

Okay, my suggestions come first, followed by explanations:
"...but I seek some advice or support."
-- We never use "an" as a modifier for "advice". You could also simply delete the modifier, yielding "...but I seek advice or support."
----
"Formulating thoughts in English, including grammar and logical structure, is an arduous process."
-- You are looking to separate the "including grammar and logical structure" clause from the rest of the sentence -- make it stand out -- so in this case you need to surround it with commas.
-----
"I have merely 3 (three what?) from phonetics and conversation classes; I have to immediately improve my speaking skills."
-- On either side of the comma are two distinct sentences. If only a comma is inserted there (without the inclusion of a conjunction after that comma, like "and" or "but"), you have a run-on sentence.
To avoid such a disgraceful state (hehe), I suggest using either a semicolon or a period.

How to use or include a semicolon into a sentence? I find it difficult to do so. :oops:

from source "You will usually use the semicolon to link independent clauses not joined by a co-ordinating conjunction. Semicolons should join only those independent clauses that are closely related in meaning. "
example :
Abdominal exercises help prevent back pain; proper posture is also important.
2 indp. clauses connected with ";" both are important (important in their meaning, subject they desrcibe) then joined with ";" not by comma (for example. )

Jae Hoon,
Please enable your forum account BBCode to quote all the posts. It will look neater. :)
The word "aware" means: knowing that something exists, or having knowledge or experience of a particular thing.
It is okay if you don't want to answer my sensitive question. I am sorry for raising such a sensitive topic in the first place. :oops:

nono~ your question is not sensitive my feeling and thought :D
That's really all right :D :D.
But, I don't exactlly experess my feeling and thought thorough Enlglish :oops: :oops: :oops:
I think that most Korean are very sad "massacre of Mr.Jo in Virginia tech."
of course, me too.
this disaster only is relevant to privatly "Mr.jo"
I never think that this disaster is related to "nationality."
maybe, Mr.jo has emmigrated Korea since his age 'five' or 'six'.
I can not understand that Mr. jo are Korean.

I never discriminate koreans... sorry if my question sounds like i am pointing an accusing finger at you (all koreans). I have lots of korean friends and i *do* disturb them frequently but all remained calm. Among all the korean friends i have, 5 of them are A+ marksman and well, after reading the news, i decided to be nicer to them...:mrgreen: And we have already been friends for 10 years. :wink:
