Re:Re:Would like to learn English
Hello, Rev. William,

I'm a native speaker of English. I've lived all my life between New York and Philadelphia. I've taught English here for a long time (recently retired).

Lesson # 1: If you want to speak like an American, drop the 'shall'. We just don't use it here at all in speech and almost never in writing -- much too formal for us.

Lesson # 2: "appriciatable" is not a word I've ever heard spoken in English. Perhaps you meant 'appreciative'. Even that is too formal for spoken colloquial English. We'd say "I'd really appreciate your help".

Lesson # 3: use spell check whenever possible. It'll catch errors like "greatful".


Hope these suggestions will help you.

Re:English practices
Hello Maria Rodriguez. My name is Leisa Miller, I am an American and would like very much to be friends with you and learn some Spanish for my workplace. I can teach you English as that is my native language. This is the first time I've been on this website and I am happy to have found it.

Re:English practices
I am willing to help you with your English. I spent a year in Zaragotha, Spain with the Military. I learned survival Spanish in order to live in the villiage of Casatas.

Need Help with Norwegian
Hei,
I'm a 14 year old female from england on a regular member account (so unable to message others, as I'm not gold) and reccently joined here. So, hallo :). But I'd like to know any norwegian (bokmal) slang that anyone knows, just general words used about and that can be used in informal conversation. I intend to either move to Kristiansand or Oslo when I move to norway (just over a year) so terms used around there would be of great help! :)

Thanks,
Cas
