Hello.

If you learn about English, it will useful to use English-English Dictionary.
Because you can notice that there are a lot of ways to express a particular thing.

Addition, speaking is very important.
If you can speak "English" with perfect pronouciation, you can listen "English" on TV , etc.

[Xeon]

Latest findings :

Scientists have confirmed that there IS another dimension beyond this entire realm, deeper than the heart of this universe that we're in.

This place, which they termed the Abyss, is darker than anything yet before.
Transmissions by US statelittes have confirmed that this guy called Platinum Plus has been stuck in the Abyss for years and years.

This finding also explains why he seems to come from nowwhere, and why the location he lives in is totally unknown, including his age and preferred programming language.

Is Latin still being spoken ?

[Amn]

As usual after having written a 2 page post i discarded it... :rolleyes:

I guess:

1. Practise oral English actively. Know that even natives who are fluent in English frequently make mistakes, something which gives you a unique opportunity to ignore your own faults and feel optimistic about your learning. This is a perfectly realistic approach - be brave and feel good about speaking it !

2. Be aware of English spoken media - generally movies, books, and TV programs. In a way it is the fastest learning curve after speaking and writing it yourself. With everything the media has brought with it to other non-English speaking countries over past, the perhaps most positive and profound effect is the introduction and integration of English language. I am not what you d call a fan of world integration & globalisation but having at least one dominant language (in some areas of course) is of great help to us all.

3. Make learning a habit. Keep in mind that even people who had a chance to be given extensive amount of good English at childhood and youth by their parents, may no longer speak it natively now,if their families had stopped practising it actively, because of, for example, physical relocation or religious and tradional beliefs. That is why it is important that one is more or less constant in his learning IMHO.

We wish you best of luck ! :D :D :D

Relax, Amn! No need to get angry at yourself! Rubbish! Whata' load of crap! The 2nd post in the Platinum = Xeon thread by Simon666 is the longest I've seen. :D

From Sacrab:

Hmmm.....not really. Vocaburlary comes second, and it's natural to know lots of vocaburlary after you've a good foundation of English.
The more important thing for a beginner is the usage and structure of English.
U might know tons of words from the English vocaburlary, but if you duno how to use it properly, u might make a fool outta ye'self. :)

Actually, learning English is quite simple compared to other languages. One of the world's toughest language is the Traditional Chinese language, the kind they're using in East Asian countries.

There's over 4000 characters to understand and write, and it's too impossible.
And worse still, these 4000++ characters can have any combination with any combination, any form with any combination, any combination with many forms, or many forms with several combinations, and last but not least, many forms with infinite combinations with many forms embeded in each form + combination........uugggh. It's a total mess.

Simplified Chinese is already tough enough, that's why. :)

[Platinum Plus]

There's over 4000 characters to understand and write, and it's too impossible. If you can learn Chinese, English will be a walk over

I tend to disagree. English is my first language. Before I had my first day of school I could speak proper english. This was due to the fact that it was used daily around me. I think going to school actually diminished my skills. I think speaking proper english is rubbish. You don't need to have words and structure in precise order to communicate your thoughts. After all english is an evolving lanquage who knows what kewl sayings you can fabricate. Like kewl beans or nerve surfer...yada yada yada

[scarab_cn]

Thank you first.Mick:)
But I tend to disagree with you:).
I think myself that to use words and structure in precise is a foundation and shall be neccessary.For a beginner,disorder words or structures will make me confused,even consider of discarding.:confused:
Especially to a non-English user,the right words and precise structures will help us to communicate,just as a standard that should be complied by all kinds of people.
Certainly,when you are very familiar with English,you might be qualificatory to say "speaking proper English is rubbish".
Is that so?

[Gabriel Fleseriu]

Of course that speaking a clean English is not rubbish. It is rubbish to think that you cannot communicate in English if you don't respect the correct word order.

It is important to understand and be understood.

A few further thoughts:
- short sentencies are better than long ones
- do not use abbreviations, like "Can u tell me...". Write out the words ("Can you tell me...")
- avoid exotic words (like "qualificatory")
- perseverate :)

I should add :
- do not think every easy french word is an easy english word. Perseverate is definitely classed as a difficult word. Here ! It says here ! (http://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/dictionaries/difficultwords/data/d0009878.html) :p

Easier english would be "persevere" or "keep on practicing" ;)

It probably something we call literally translated from Dutch "comma-fucking", a fuss about nothing, though I would like to know if you intended it that way.

No, you didn't write "originally posted by Gabriel Fleseriu", but if you will look at your post, that is what it seems to mean.

As about "perseverate" - I may have used a false-friend. I did mean "continue", "do not give up". I'd like to hear what a native English speaker has to say about this word - www.dictionary.com didn't enlighten me.

As about "perseverate" - I may have used a false-friend. I did mean "continue", "do not give up". I'd like to hear what a native English speaker has to say about this word

I'm not native speaker, but I asked a co-worker who is, whether this word even existed and he assured me that it didn't exist. It does indeed exist but is not used. There are quite a few "difficult" english words that are just straight french words with an english flavor. I really noticed this when I took the GCSE's. Thiss is a pretty tough test you need to take to enter US univerisities. The flavor I took was for postgrads, so supposedly pretty hard. But the language test was actually surprisingly easy for those who know french :p

[Platinum Plus]

Well, "hakuna matata", then Did you get this from The Lion King or you also know Swahili ;)
produce some more Swahili and I can do the test. Simon are you a scientist or something ?

Then what about you back in China? That is, if you have a Chinese dialect.

I can write English but I can't speak English well because I usually converse in Chinese and also I can't pronounce many of the English words, so I tend to speak simple English.

Inconceivable,if your native language is Chinese,you couldn't write????
Oh,maybe you ponder in Chinese and express in English.hehehehe!
Wish you make progress in Chinese and English.:D :) :) :rolleyes:

Dialect when talking with my fellow countryman only.
Mandarin elsewhere, for better communication.
Basically, we speak Mandarin when we go out of our town.

CBasicNet, lily311 and scarab_cn, it is really good to see you communicate fairly well ;)
My question : When you are writing Chinese (Mandarin if it is the same) do you have a choice of using those pictures / signs / diagrams (what do you call them ?) or the "English Alphabet" :confused:

[freaky_NL]

Let me see if I understand correctly.
From some of the discussion in the General Discussion area , slamming Americans, French and random talk of international hatred isn't offensive. Talk of mass slaughter with nuclear weapons, conventional bomming and snipers isn't offensive.
However, random babble is offensive? Hmmm.

Ofcourse, that makes total sense. The dutchies hate the french (ok most of them hate most of them hahaha unless they know em as usual with generalisation) and the frenchies the dutchies. See we can understand eachother, we both hate the others hehe. So the main thing is understanding. Now garbish none of us understands so that's offensive k? :-)

So say I'm an asshole, a nice guy, a !$!#$!%head but just don't call me anything I don't understand haha

[freaky_NL]

oh scarab dude... if you run linux check out kdict (kde). It will query multiple sites for answers the www.dictionary.com is one of them. It really rocks.

hmmz... now I come to think of it.... I still gotta learn VC++ a lot better, porting that might be a nice project (but i still like linux better :-)) (now my *** is probably gonna get flamed :-) :) :) :) )


Whow, since when is a s s an offensive word? I've been sitting all day on my a s s now that ain't offensive is it?

[freaky_NL]

I got an ex-classmate who Chinese name is Li Xiao Long but his English name is Shawn Lee.

Err why? I can say Li Xiao Long...... My dutch name is ferry (which doesn't mean anything), my english name is ferry (which means hoovercraft or something but who cares) and my chinese name will still be ferry. If you can't pronounce it, well too bad for u, unless you wanna give me money in which case it's bad for me.

That will be a Chinese way of pronouncing ferry or Michelle, Peter, David and what have you?

But their pronounciation will be slightly different from the English pronounciation.

Li Xiao Long whose Kung Fu is good,this name is spelled in Chinese Alphabet,but it was translated into English Alphabet,may be changed to Bruce Lee(may be pronounced fluent to you).
I think it's not important,the important thing is that we can refer the same one.

His full name is Shawn Li Xiao Long. Li is his surname. Shawn is his English name and Xiao Long is his Chinese name.

It is Chinese way to have surname before one's name. So Chow Yun Fat's surname is Chow, not Fat

For those don't know, some Chinese, in Singapore, have a English name for easy pronounciation for Caucasians, Indians and Malays to remember and call them.

Yes, we call Mother China, Mother Earth, Mother HuangRiver...

From Platinum Pal:

Well, when writing Mandrain characters, there's no such things as pictures or diagrams or graphics : just characters that appear as though they represent some form of ancient carving and such.
U see, mandrain characters used to be drawings and such, but over 3000++ years and more, they slowly evolved and mutated to today's state and standards, which is why.

Not quite correct. High and low atmospheric pressure regions are named using male/female names alternatively. One year high=male and low (cyclons) = female and the next year vice-versa.

There's only a little difference in tone between my dialect and Mandarin. Besides, we learn Mandarin at school. And the TV, radio...all speak Mandarin.

No special name for my dialect.
Almost every city has its own dialect in South-Eastern part of China. But basically we can understand each other if the distance is not very far.

But we don't understand dialect of southern part of China, such as Cantonese. That's too different and too difficult to understand.

That's a formidable task. English is the wordiest common language in the world, and quite possibly the most complicated due to the fact that much of the grammar doesn't make sense, the prononciations don't often make sense with the spelling of the words, the origin of the words is hundreds of different places and languages, and it's just plain annoying. American students have to study it for all twelve years of grade school because of all the complexities. So, I can't just post something which says "Here's the English language:"

In China,students study English basis beginning from middle scholl.
To me,I haven't come into thingking(pondering) in English.so when I got lots of English information,I usually translate English into Chinese and then begin to understand it--it is hard for me to understand.

My fact is:I have mastered English basis and English structure,know lots of words.Now the trouble is how to master more and more English words and how to ponder in English.

I guess if you want to think in English to better understand it, here's what I suggest:
Learn why certain expressions or words in English are the way they are. Get to understand the grammar in English well so you don't have to rearrange words all the time when you think. Read about a paragraph of English at first and try to think in English while you read it. If you are thinking about other things while you read, think about them in English, it is more confusing if you're reading in one language and reading or talking in another. When you learn new English words, relate them or define them with other English words. This encourages English connections and thinking within the language.
I am learning to speak French and I can think in French if I try to, basically following these guidelines.

[scarab_cn]

Hi there, and well well well.......Scarab.......the match began around 7 - 11 days ago. Even George War Bush and Jiang Zemin(the President of China) went there to watch it while eating. Jiang ate chicken chop and George War Bush ate rice with traditional chinese vegetables.
It's a kinda cultural exchance to boost political ties and to broaden their knowledge of fighting, especially that wrestling match between me, Platinum Plus, Simon666 and SolarFlare.

Also, if you wanna ponder in English, the 1st one you gotta ask is Platinum pal. Who else? He's a very very talented expert in pondering over all kinda things in all forms of languages, be it Sanscrit, English, Mandrain, Swahili, Portugese, Spanish, Dutch, German, French, Korean, Japanese, Thai-language, Bahasa Malayu, Jawi, Arab, Finish, Russian, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, C, C++, Java, COBOL, Python, Cobra, BASIC(all versions, including VB), Assembly Language, Machine Language, VBScript, MaxScript, ActionScript, JavaScript, ASP scripting, PHP scripting and all forms of computer programming/web scripting languages.

I'm sorry you feel that way about dogs... I too have had adverse experiences with dogs but my overall feeling is still positive for them.

From Simon:

I hate dogs and would love to kick them. But you already knew I was evil if you ever read my plans for nuclear holocaust.

Simon......please be a good boy, squat on the floor with your hads over your head while I try some psychotic acts on you. That would satisfy my perversity greatly! Cool! :D
How can you do this to a dog!!!


I'm not dead yet. Unlike you, if your teacher, head of school, parents and the military find out what you're up to.


Nay! If that happens, I'll be sure to try voodoo magic on you.


When I ever go to China or Korea, I'll eat it once to try.


How mean! Now, if gurls see this sentence of yours, they're gonna think you're a jolly nasty guy who's mean to everything. How many a times have I told you to change your image and be like me? Although I got some paedophiles awards and such, they're all good awards and stuff.

Probably that's cos' u were nasty to the dogs once before. For all I know, u might have purchased a dog from the pet shop, pour oil onto 'em and set fire on 'em while you drink naked rum and smoke cigas, while your heart ignites with joy. Aye...

Of course not, Basic pal!
First, she's not old! I believe she's only around 27++ to 32++ years and such. But mind you, she's darn prettier than most young teenage gurls!
That's the thing!

I wish Brad can organise a ad-poll, whereby we can vote for out favourite ad. I would vote for AMD! AMD processors the da' best! They're da' bomb! They rule!
Compared to AMD, Intel is kinda outdated!(except Intel Pentium 4 Xeon!)
From now on, I'm gonna be an AMD guy! Whoa! :D

And no......I've been a darn regular patron of Codeguru ever since the creation of Time itself, by the Lord. That's why.
This ad only appeared a few months ago.
I love it! Please.......gimme that lady! I don't care whether she's 10 years older than me.......I just want her!

There! Must be too busy with your hyper-universe dominating plans! Darn!
I guess you wouldn't have a chance to see this awesome, celestialy, heavenly, darn-cool and marvellous ad! :p
Why?
Cos' this ad appears only at night.(Singapore time)
And at the time where night falls in Singapore, it's morning there in America.
Plus, because you're a student, you might be at school at this time.

The truth is : it's the craziest and the most darn fantastic ad that ever appeared anywhere in the entire realm of all universes. I sincerely wish the CEO of AMD and gang that they'll succeed, and marry Intel Pentium Xeon to that awsome AMD lady. Arrggghhh!!!

I want her! Someone please! Brad???!!!:D

Nah, Platinum! Actually, there's 2 kinda moderators.
The first kind are the SSS type. SSS for Stern, Strict and Serious.
U can't really bribe these guys, but I did. Now, look at my downfall. They accept your money but doesn't accept your deal!
I have no savings left in my bank.
:( :(

The other kind, the FFF type. FFF for Fun, Friendly and Funny type.
These are the guys who would accept any kinda gifts and money and such.
Yves M is one of them. To date, I've sent him gurls, toys, beds, computers, postcards, chicken chops, bodyguards and money.(around US$60,000)

My money wasn't wasted on him, cos' he's a lax one and doesn't really give a **** to what you do. :D
Now, Yves! Easy on it!
If there's a Moderator Election, I'll be sure to vote for guys like him! :):D

[SolarFlare]

Since I want to be a moderator, I've decided to start my own site which parallels CodeGuru. It's already up and running, actually.

I'm the only moderator, but watch out cuz I'm a darnn strict guy on the site. If you do anything at all that isn't good, I'll exile you for life to far away worlds. Really, I wouldn't post anything rude on my site. In fact, just in case people did post something rude, nobody is even allowed to make posts. They might be wrong, or they might say something mean. And I'm so mean and strict, that I bet if you even tried to go to the site, I wouldn't let it load on your computer. Cuz I know you're just thinking of doing something bad to it. The site is here (http://www.solarflaresmeancodesite.com), but I don't guarantee anything. I promise you it's as good or better than CodeGuru cuz I stole the source code.

To my surprise,,to have see the title of this thread,what's more,to see a Chinese in a foreign forum make me excited.In China,you have to learn proper English as you are students in junior school,senior school.That is to say ,grammar is very important to us students.I can express myself but my English mark is low,what's that meaning?So,,a place for us to improve English should be saying thanks to.and also many warm-hearted people,make me inspired.

And,,,"Kungfu" may be a mistery word to foreigners,but in my opinion,it's a "walk over" as boxing in your country.

And,,,Chinese also is hard for us student to study,every day,we have to remember a lot of one character's meaning which has such a difference from modern Chinese.


may have had many mistake above,correct it?

Now,,It's 2:16 am in China,,,too sleepy.

Actually there are a lot of people from many nations here. There are a bunch of people from the east. Although I would guess that the most active people are mostly from western europe.

Now, the majority of folks here are from the US, it seems.
But Solar is right. The most active folks here are from Europe.

Lots of people can't spell it, it seems. To clear things up, the correct spelling (in English) is Luxembourg. But for simplicity, you can call it "Lux." Or, we can give it a name proportional to its size: "L".

[Simon666]

[SolarFlare]

I guess that would make me from The United States of Americaaa

[Xeon]

What 'L'?! That's crap! Open treachery! Open defiancy! Open revolt!

To conclude, SolarFlare is from .us, I'm from .sg, and Simon is from .be, I think.

So, to make things simple and informative, we could pack both name and location into one string object, as in :

Xeon.sg
Brad_Jones.us
Mikey.de
Cimperiali.us
SolarFlare.us
Platinum_Plus.af

Something like this.

And to make things even more nerdy, we could add a .gender extension, as in :

Xeon.sg.m

And to get things more extreme, we could add the main choice of programming language and height for that particular person, as in :

Xeon.sg.m.cpp.165

The above human IP address means that the person is called Xeon, from Singapore, is a male and code in C++ and has a short height of 1.65m. :):):D

And this way of human IP address is copyright by Xeon, also known as the Father of human IP addresses.
My team will be creating a reference chart to signify what these suffixes and such means. We need a funding of US$96 from each person. Thank you.

But you can't use this IP to correctly identify a person. I'm sure there's two John Smiths in the US who are male, the same height, and program in some language.

Belgians are a little above the average height in Europe. I'm not exceptionally tall at 1m87, and at 1m75 solarflare is near the median. More info about it for white males is over here (http://www.halls.md/chart/men-height-w.htm). They apparently don't have charts specific for Asians, but according to this chart (http://www.halls.md/on/men-height-o.htm) there are even around 20% of men under Xeon's height.

[sbrothy]

Since English is only my second language I use Merriam-Webster alot:

http://www.m-w.com/home.htm

If I cannot remember exactly how a word is spelled it will suggest corrections and lead me to the right word. It seems you can even hear it pronounced although I have never tried that.

Getting the language right is, in my humble opinion, important if you want help from other people. If you cannot be bothered to at least try to write decent human language (english or not), those you want help from might not be so inclined to offer it.

Ofcourse, if people can see you're from China they will probably help you if they can understand you at all ;-)

Just my 2 cents... Good luck!
