Have you ever felt like correcting someone's grammar or writing? Have you ever read a sentence and thought "this sounds SO foreign"?
Well, I sometimes think that may happen to my texts. And I don't like that. I have a goal to speak/write a perfect English, and I'm trying hard to improve it.
So, this post is basically to ask you all for a favor: would you please correct me, if you feel like? I mean, you don't have to do that, you can just keep reading my posts (please do keep reading! =D) and moving on with your life. But, if in any moment you feel like correcting me or suggesting another way of writing a sentence... please, don't stop yourself! I would really appreciate to be corrected. It's all about more and more learning to me. :)
Thank you for kindly reading this request. I'll go back to regular posts, showing you my incoming and outgoing mail as soon as possible!
Hiya Penny! Let me assure you that we're totally on the same boat. In Malaysia, English is learnt as a second language (Malay is the official one - but I don't use it often). I converse mainly in English and Mandarin (my mother tongue). I have the same goal too -- to speak perfect English. Guess watching English movies/TV series really help me a great deal! Feel free to correct me too if the sentences I used are grammatically incorrect. :D
ResponderExcluirIndeed, Bree, watching movies and series help me too, mainly when I watch it with subtitles in English. Also, when reading books in English, or even letters from my penpals, I try to note words or phrases that I do understand, but wouldn't think of using when writing.
ExcluirHi Penny! You're English is pretty good for the most part, it's just the grammar that is off a tad sometimes! I know grammar is the hardest with any language I almost always mess up!
ResponderExcluirThanks, Allison! Actually I'm not really studying English right now - just practicing. Next year I plan to formally study, then I can improve my grammar even more.
