I will segway a bit from the topic. Grammatical mistake is understandable since it isn't our native language but if you can't even differentiate [b]you're[/b] with [b]your[/b], [b]who's[/b] with [b]whose[/b], [b]they're[/b] with [b]their [/b]then I think you need to go back to the gradeschool. Another common mistake: Do/Does/Did + [b]PRESENT tense[/b] of the [u]verb.[/u] [s]Did I told you?[/s] Did I [i]tell[/i] you? [s]Did you received my package?[/s] Did you [i]receive[/i] my package? [s]Does she wrote letters to you?[/s] Does she [i]write[/i] letters to you? [quote=chaw;#399636;1398143536]China is leading too. Do you see all of us learning Chinese just to find jobs there? [/quote] I'd rather learn Japanese or Korean.

I still have a lot of problems with the English language because most of the time we translate directly from tagalog. [b]For example:[/b] [i]Meron ka bang babae o lalakeng kapatid? [/i] [s]Do you have sisters or brothers?[/s] [color=green]Do you have siblings?[/color] But English is just a language, so don't fret too much if you suck at it. Ehem wakakakaka. Tunie was bad at it before too but now he's like super good, maybe better than me.

[quote=chaw;#399733;1398152655]Yeah I agree. I think the best way to learn English (or ANY language at all) is to verbally speak it and have a conversation with it. [/quote] Do you think you got better in English because you're in US? Do you have the english slang accent? Do you also have the distinct Texas accent? [quote=chaw;#399733;1398152655]It's hard to learn english in school e[b]specially when the English teacher in school sucks[/b] at speaking it.[/quote] So fucking true. Did you know that I also used to do this mistake [b]DID + PAST TENSE[/b]. 17 years in school and nobody ever friggin corrected me??!! Like I only learned that it was wrong when my super sarcastic friend who invited me to ftalk pointed out that I sucked in english HAHHAHAHAHAHA. I was gunna say a few more things but I keep forgetting. I think it's your siggy chaw. Paww has that temporary amnesia effect.

[quote=chaw;#399744;1398153816]@aya yes definitely! gah I'll die here if I don't force myself to speak English. You just really have to train your brain "k survival mode. speak english!" And I'm not really sure if I have the english slang accent--maybe just a little bit. Because i know filipinos can still tell if I grew up here or I moved here. I don't have the Texas accent but I deff know how to copy it [/quote] We understand english right but it's really different when the muricans speak it. It's too hard to follow sometimes. But they're way easier to understand than the thick british accent. Nosebleed. [quote=chaw;#399744;1398153816]dude me too. HAHAHAHHAHAHA I THINK EVERYBODY HAD THAT MISTAKE!!! HAHAHAHHA Gah I'm so glad the old ftalk is gone forever. I don't wanna see my sucky english posts HAHAHAH[/quote] Fuck chaw I was even proud of myself because english profs like me and I had the best in english award in gradeschool. Like wtf? It's all a lieeeeeeee. Damn you school. Damn you teachers. [quote=chaw;#399744;1398153816]off topic: Yeah I hope i don't dream about pawws' face cuz honestly this siggy is so freakin scary hahahahaha[/quote] Okay, I remembered what I was gunna say. I hate it when TV shows (cartoons/movies) changed english dubs to tagalog. -_____- I don't understand the point.

[quote=zanza;#399810;1398162453]How else am I going to understand you if we do not learn English?[/quote] There are so many ways to learn English. I was asking about whether it's still necessary to take CLASSES in school (and maybe pay for them too) just to learn English.
