aakash Posted June 27, 2007 CID Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hello Friends. There is a little problem i m facing,it is :- I think it is very different problem in TMN Last night i was on my friend's house. On that's time,i received a fone call on my mobile (Don't get bore) It was my friend.In the fone call i and my friend,both we were talking with my friend on call. In the end of the call i said that ,"We are getting bore" Plz friend (TMN) i m correct with my sentence or not? The main thing is that i am Indian,so Hindi is our language. So our thinking (I am my friend) is that we are not feeling comfartable very much in English. It's not problem,the thing is that,my friend is telling me that your English is not very good. So i m asking this question to all,that:- You can read my all MSG & reply that there is a mistake in my sentences or not.It is different thing you are understanding me properly. My question is that in my sentence (means the way of grammer) I m right or not & also give me the answer of fone call.... Thnx friend....

Shug7272 Posted June 27, 2007 CID Share Posted June 27, 2007 I think what you are trying to say is "We are bored." Meaning you have nothing to do at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your English and our Hindi is equal. We are perfect in Hindi like us,you are perfect in English. You can understand my thinking. Nice....

granpa Posted June 28, 2007 CID Share Posted June 28, 2007 To all friends. Don't talk about fone-phone. My way of talking is grammer's mistake. In my all sentence,means in my all word.There is a mistake or not. The sense is that you people are understanding me properly or not? If in future i will come in foreign.So i m able to talk with other one or not? I would not worry but just keep asking questions and trying to understand. Just remember some people will pick up on what you are saying and others will not . Some have known English all their lives and still don't understand it when you talk to them. I think it's not a big thing 4 you. Becoz u all are English people. Your English and our Hindi is equal. We are perfect in Hindi like us,you are perfect in English. You can understand my thinking. Nice.... All are not English but many are English speaking, and then it sounds different in areas across the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starship_troopers Posted June 28, 2007 CID Share Posted June 28, 2007 sweet. any tips on learning another language ( IE, spanish). i dropped spanish from my highschool schedule though (NO i was not being lazy), but after 3 years, i learned so little. i learned to count from 0 to 1 million, and the alphabet, and little else. In 3 YEARS! my school is horrible at foreign languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elinvesti8 Posted June 28, 2007 CID Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hi Starship, I am not a good teacher of Spanish. I can read write and speak it just not teach it. I have a cousin Warren Hardy who owns a school in Mexico and people from the USA go and immerse themselves in his course. He also sells courses on line. Just know that I am not affiliated with him and do not get a kickback. Go check out his web site at http://warrenhardy.com/. I hope this points you in the right direction.

starship_troopers Posted June 28, 2007 CID Share Posted June 28, 2007 cool link. i honestly thought about rosetta stone, but more or less i'm trying to learn it being around people who talk it. lol and sometimes its hard because the people don't speak english so i have to think about it.

elinvesti8 Posted June 28, 2007 CID Share Posted June 28, 2007 You learn faster if you know a little Spanish then immerse yourself in the culture and hang around people who only speak Spanish. It will come quicker than what you learn in school. Buenos dias Paco como esta usted. Muy bien gracias. Mi casa es tu casa...Etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
