English

So people, English is not my mother tongue.
How good am I at it?
Please rate me.

 

i would say you're ok at it. You can't tell that much

 

TBH I haven't seen you active recently so I can't really remember, but judging by the fact that you messed up the original post ;D I'd say at least 3, at most 4.

 

Where did I mess up?

 

I thought you were from the US. That says it all ;D

 

How well I am at it? should be How well am I at it?. I'm not making a fuss about it, I just thought it was related to the topic
You have no problem making yourself understood so don't worry.

 

Actually Kuvy, "How well am I at it?" wouldn't work either. The word "well" can very rarely apply as a quantitative term, such as "You're very well at soccer."

The proper sentence should be "How good am I at it?"

So don't feel too bad, LT. Apparently even us English-speakers get it wrong sometimes. You had me convinced that english was your mother tongue, so that's impressive enough. What is your mother tongue, then?

 

Thanks! I'm proud on myself now.

I'll fix that now. But it's just a small mistake.

I'm glad to hear that although I knew it before.

UPDATE:

Yay! Everyone thinks English is my mother tongue.
My mother tongue is Croatian. I guess you guys have never heard if it.

 

Bizarro, the exercise was to correct it with as few changes as possible

 

-LT-
Hold your tongue, sir. One of my favourite athletes is from Croatia. Have you ever heard of Mirko Filipovic? He's an ex-Soccer player / member of Parliament / Kickboxer / Mixed Martial Arts Fighter / Special Forces Op.

Yeah, he's cool, big whoop, you wanna fight about it?

-kuvasz-
Eh, I never did listen in class anyway.

 

Of course I know about him! Where are you from?

 

I'm near Montreal, LT. I'm a big MMA fan, and I heard about Mirko when was making his transition from K-1 kickboxing into the PRIDE Fighting Championships in Japan. I've been following his career ever since, and he's been one of my favourite fighters for a long time, even though his recent matches in the UFC haven't been particularily impressive.

 

That's news to me, I thought english was your mother language.

 

BUMP

I need more votes!

 

i had no idea that english was not your native tongue, its perfect to me probably better then most americans.

 

didn't know LT was Croatian, now we have something in common.
I have no idea how good your english is cause i'm just a random lurker

But i'll say 4... you give me the impression of 4..

 

I said 3, but that's only because i think that 5 is really good, like no missspelling ever. But i think you are the best to talk English on this forum, of them who doesn't has it as their mother tongue

 

You wouldn't know where most people live because they put in shakuras and all sorts of funny stuff :

I also voted 3.

 

You're a Croatian too?


I don't know why people rate me 3. I'm not that bad. ???

 

da :good:
