DISCUSSIONS IN ENGLISH - EXPRESS YOURSELF

[runeko]

will have to tell Mysiorek about it

Sounds great..."tell Mysiorek"

and they r both over 4 years

"They have been together for over 4 years now", right Hyhy?

Cause it's kinda a far-fetched idea

Isn't it? What the hell are we supposed to talk about?

And this is the way of speaking today - not formal english on the web. Its easier to understand for me what sophie said than read books in english and it should in that other way?

It's better for your English skills this way.

Sure, but I don't feel the need of improvement

I'm here just to see what's going on "Need FOR improvement" anyway
I think it can be used both ways

Maybe in grammar school I did, but now I read in English just for fun and usually I simply prefer it to Polish.

I woul never read, per se "Requiem for a dream" in Polish 'cause it would not make any sense. There is too much slang and strictly American-english expressions in some books.

Of course, but it's not an essay writing or anything like that in here

Do not remind me of essay writing! <boje_sie> You don't have any idea how stupid were the topics I had to write about in English class here, in my college. But my teacher told me I write better English than most of the Americans in his classes

it's very

"it's A very good idea"

shouldn't be

"Should be" in this case. Because now you're denying the fact that you've alredy denied. When you're writing "shouldn't be" it would be in a sentence starting "A person shouldn't be..."

learn

"learning" in this case

corects (or corectes?)

"corrects"

handsome expert, nacional-left wing politics fanboy

that this topic will change to typical HELP ME WITH MY ENGLISH PROBLEMS topic

Ooooh, hell no!

people will write here in polish and ask how they should write it in english

Then we will tell them to scram.

musted

I've always loved listening to my classmates back in Poland making that kind of mistakes. You can just fall off of a chair sometimes...

Good afternoon. I'll be absent until Monday or even Tuesday because I have to prepare for a very important exam. Have a nice weekend

U2 puddin'

And i am also perwers

LOL <browar>

why do You think

I know you've meant to be polite but there is no need to write "you" starting with a big letter in English. There is just no such thing in this language. Unless you're really writing something important, like a letter to some company executive or someone like that.

This topic is kinda' fun

[Eisenritter]

Go for it, Rune-baby. Make them squirm, O Lady Divine\!

And maul Ted for me, will you? He is a "fanboy" but as to his expertise in anything... well. Must I comment that?

Still, I'll try to keep my somewhat rusty tongue - or fingers in this case - behind my teeth. Last time I have tried to converse with a semi-native speaker I was utterly dissadisfied. A refresher course is in order.

Have fun.

[pani_minister]

There is just no such thing in this language.

I know. But there is one in MY language. I find some things in Polish worth popularizing.

[runeko]

Go for it, Rune-baby. Make them squirm, O Lady Divine\!

Don't scare me.... <zmieszany>

Still, I'll try to keep my somewhat rusty tongue - or fingers in this case - behind my teeth.

Is it physically possible?
Yer english, she's a good one <jestdobrze2>
Check out www.engrish.com for REALLY bad mistakes.

Good for you. But makes not much sense, since there are no Americans reading it

[Eisenritter]

I know, I know... Japanese writing or speaking English do crack me up. I've been watching "Hellsing Ultimate" lately, and the voice of Japanese voice actor quoting 1 Corinthians almost cost me my spleen. Or something more important.

[runeko]

voice of Japanese voice actor quoting 1 Corinthians

Oook, THIS is not physically possible (look- engrish.com )

[Eisenritter]

Believe me.

It goes like that:

"If anyuone does not luve the Lord, Jisus Kreist let him bi aciused, oh Lord cam."

And intonation is butchered in a very competent manner.

Truly a masterpiece comparable to our President's achievements with the National Anthem.

[misiucha22]

puddin'

I hope you don't mean puddinghead
Ok, I really must go. CU

[runeko]

Truly a masterpiece comparable to our President's achievements with the National Anthem.

Classic

puddinghead

Sorry, never heard of this word. I've meant puddin' in the African-American slang kind of way. It basically how black friends refer to their white friends. No kidding, my friend from my previous job, Trina, refers to me as puddin', eventually puddin'-pop

[misiucha22]

Runeko <browar>
I'll write on Tuesday. People - keep you fingers crossed

[runeko]

Sure

[pani_minister]

since there are no Americans reading it

Minor inconvenience

[Eisenritter]

A minor problem, like the late Cardinal Richelieu (by Tim Curry" would say.

I'm beginning to really have fun with this thread. Pour it on, people!

[natasza]

Again: why do You think that I should use "had to"?

I learnt that we can't use must in the past. Only in the Present. When we want to tell something about our obligations in the past, we will use "had to".

Misiucha, help;-)

[pani_minister]

Natasza - there is Your problem. I wasn't talking about obligation. It was a matter of my will, not duty. That's why I used "wanted". If I had changed my statement using "had to" I would have completely changed the meaning. Why do You keep insisting that "had to" is the only appropriate choice? I WANTED means I wasn't obliged to do something. I simply WANTED to do so. No pressure, no compulsion, no obligation (expressed by "must" or "had to").

like the late Cardinal Richelieu

Which reminds me the splendid tone and timing in "Please, continue" by DiCaprio (Louis XIV)

[Eisenritter]

Frankly, I was, and still am, utterly enamored with the exchange between Richelieu and Aramis. "You, of all people should know, that a Cardinal is exempt from all mortal laws" "Then you'll answer before God." And the Cardinal pulls his flintlock pistol, shoots and utters "You first." in a tone so wonderfully close to bored.. A music to my ears.

[pani_minister]

Yeah.. Richelieu.. one of the men who are always very good in being bad Love this kind

And this conversation is quite close to one of my favourites (from Prophecy): "In heaven we believe in love" as Archangel Gabriel said ... and when asked by Catherine "What do you love?" the answer was "Cracking your skull." Yes, definitely my kind of sense of humour and a bit of flippancy.

[runeko]

Just watched FFVII: Last Order. What the hell? What the hell is this about? Who are those people? Crap...I don't get it.
Going to work in an hour...

[Eisenritter]

You want to feel "WTF?!" after watching anime? Try Paranoia Agent or FLCL. Massive doses of confusion guaranteed.

No, skip that. Watch NGE as soon as possible. "End Of" especially.

[FlyingDuck]

Nice idea with the topic Actually I didn't have any contact with a written informal english up till the last year... I kind of suck at it ;P That's why it can be quite interresting to read your posts

Anyway, it's a funny thing... Five years ago I thought of my english as perfect, three years ago I thought it's just good. A year ago I considered it was good enought for me to communicate. Finally, when I spent half a year with the Americans, I realized I can't even express myself fully. I guess that when You're with a people who are as handicapped as you, you just don't bother

FLCL
I really love it. so fuckin' crazy, only the Japaneese people could create an anime like that. did you like the soundtrack? I really did ;]

Eva - I've read the manga to some point and watched a few episodes in the past. now Neon Genesis Evangelion Remastered Eps + Movies torrent is being downloaded, only 20% left <browar>

what other good anime can you recommend me? ;]

greetings to all the English speaking lads! <browar>

[Eisenritter]

Hmmm....

Let's see. Hellsing Ultimate OVA, although you'd have to keep your fingers crossed pretty hard, since episodes are churned out by Geneon with stunning speed of 50 minutes per six months; also, you'll have to stomach engrish, courtesy of Paladin Alexander Anderson. Starship Operators isn't bad, Read Or Die TV and OVA are quite good as well - KickAssAnime does those. And Ganktsuou, if you want The Count of Monte Christo in a postmodern SF setting with spaceship battles and whatnot. Finally, for a light-hearted comedy, Aa! Megami-sama TV, both seasons, are quite sweet. Also DearS, Yumeria and Onegai Teacher/Twins.

And one more thing. Watch Appleseed. And Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex.

Edit:

Just watching, once again, Hellsing OVA #1. God, Anderson is remarkable. Gotta love mad Catholic priests quoting from the Good Book while slaughtering undead. "I am a vicar of Christ, an agent sent to deliver God's punishment on earth. Our mission is to exterminate idiots who dare to stand against our God without leaving even a single cell. AMEN!".

Iscariots. What an adorable bunch. How I wish Geneon thrown Cross+Fire into their extras bag...

[runeko]

Having some trouble with English?

[Eisenritter]

Having some trouble with English?

Who? Me? Since when? Unless you count the fact that I haven't been using it for a daaaamn long time...

[runeko]

No, not you
DaKid posted something below you and I guess he deleted it afterwards.

[misiucha22]

I'm back. Today I had the last exam. Now I have to wait for the results.

[Olivia]

Today I had the last exam.

Yesterday I passed the last exam in this school at all. Jupi!!!!

[runeko]

I don't want to go to work

[Kubek]

I don't want to go to work

The very same thing happens to me... everytime I have to teach one of the groups.

Anyway- who does really want to go to work should be classified as perverted... a job is just your employer buying your time with his/its money... nothing more, nothing less (I'm affraid)

[runeko]

(I'm affraid)

It's not going to hurt, I promise
