When you're talking about yourself when you've already mentioned yourself.
Ex:
I and my friend like languages. So as for me, I like English the best and as for my friend, she likes Italian.
Thanks. |

Thanks.
I knew it and I know I can simply Google it.
I had found a lot of examples on the internet.
I want to now the grammatical point and Its usage precisely.
Is it a spoken expression?
What is the difference between "as for me" and "so as for me"?
Let me bring up a sentence spontaneously.
What about this one:
In fact, mothers sacrifice themselves for their children. so as for me, I firmly believe that my mother has helped me a lot.:!:
is it OK!

Now I think that the usage of " so as for me" is the same of " and so"
I'll give you an example based on yours:
Mothers sacrificed themselves for their children and so did my mother.
Any suggestions? |

No, you have completely changed my sentence.
Why did you write a past tense sentence?
It is not what I wanted to say...I meant on account of that fact I believe that my mother have helped me more than others.
Moreover, I want to use "so as for me" in my sentence. otherwise I could have written an appropriate sentence to express my opinion.

| "So as for me" is not really a fixed expression: it is rather so + as for me, so having its regular sense of "for that reason". |

Hi Richard,
Adding 'so' to that expression gives it an extra dimension. 'As for me' as has already been explained, suggests 'as far as I am concerned'. When you preface this with 'so', you are saying: Consequently, as far as I am concerned. As Cerberus has said, 'so as for me' is not in itself a set expression.
