Hi,
A 'native speaker' refers to someone who uses their first language and who started to learn this language from the moment they were born. I am a native English speaker because I was born in the UK and my first language is English.

Dear Sir & Madam
Thank you for your immediate reply for the explanation of "Native Speakers". I thought it would appicable for "Native Speaker of English"only, that is why I asked you. So I can say Native speaker of Tamil"/India.
Thank you

Yes, indeed. 'Native' is a word meaning a person born in a particular place. In that sense a native of India. It is also an adjective that describes things associated with someone's place of birth.

Hi
Everybody wants to improve their writing skill without practice of doing it,including myself. Read Alan Sir Essays, you will get inspired and start writing it yourself withr enthusiam. Only thing you should have interest to do writing practice, and should not get bothered when you make mistake. When we mistake, we can learn something and correct ourself. See I am always making lot of mistakes in my letter,but I have got confident that I can achieve more than others.
You should plan yourself before writing letters, and try to write without mistake and keep practicing the same about some other subject and keep reading other learner's letters, you will get idea of writing.Daily post letters to the forum even if there is any mistake, you don't bother. Mistake is human nature,no one can do without mistake, I mean learning and writing.
Start writing to-day itself to the Forum, ask the forum so many questions, Forum should feel that it is unable to answer, you should come to that level.
Wish you all the best.
Thank you

On the contrary if the person is welcoming your social talk, smiles back at you, you will be able to go beyond neutral topics. Depending on your level of confidence with the other person, you’ll first ask question about their daily life as work or more personal information as his/her personal life. It’s your own judgment of the situation that will determine what to discuss about. Listen to your instinct, your guts; usually you’ll get it right. As you develop your trust in the person, you will then go more in debt into your relation. Therefore it would be thoughtful to share quality time as to enjoy an exposition or have a drink with a group of friends. Usually the other person will return the invitation. In my opinion that is how you can begin a friendship. |
