Who Has Improved The Most At English Out Of The Foreigners?

[Solly]

My vote is split between Stefu and Andz (Ecthelion). Just look at Stefu's choices in the branched thread poll....Now I also say Andz because I remember for months he would finish ICQ conversations with "I go now". It was quite funny at the time..me and PH used to take the piss. But he seems to have improved a lot as well.

Vote.

[Eli]

Me me me!

[Ecthy]

oh well, I'm feeling so flattered

BTW, Stefu makes horrendous mistakes if you ask me, but Idon't even want to know what others think about my style

Oh, and Eli has improved as well! at least he has improved in concerns like using only ONE past tense form in a simple past construction instead of 2, namely modal AND actual verb

you did not improved, eh?

[Giancarlo]

Well, I am a foreigner and am in IB English... go figure.

My vote is.... well, umm, I really haven't listened to people enough in a extended time span.

[Ted Striker]

Colon is by far the most improved. He puts everyone else to shame easily.

Nobody else comes close.

[Ecthy]

Colon is cool at the language, that is true... but then, nobody asked you

[Ted Striker]

Deutschlander,

My opinon is the most important on this board.

I speak, therefore I am.

Gut? Ja, SEHR gut.

Hard to say.

Andy is quite good at english, and he has helped guys like BeBro with translations for scenarios.

Kantaloupe speaks English with slang quite well, almost like it's his first language.

Have to say it's a draw.

Dookie needs work, IMO.

ottok!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stefu]

Etchelion? Ha! That throckmortonous grinnich's wretcheys at using the English can only be retchumed and kohartoneyed at. I treatle in his general direction!

That dormy little cratchet!

[Ted Striker]

"Dookie needs work, IMO"



Kantaloupie is a close second.

Andz also very good.

One word about those who are not particularly famous for being almost perfect at speaking English -

There is not a single non-native on this board who is not able to phrase his points. And even those who some bastards like me tend to make the most fun of (one of the earlier posters comes to mind ) have actually been improving (is it right this time, Eli? ) quite well, though they have actually never been 'bad' at the language in any way.

I must admit that I'm frequently told how good speak the language (by Apolytoners and English teachers as well), and how much I have improved since I joined here (not by English teachers though). But then, when I read old threads, I can't see what I would do differently nowadays, regarding grammar and all. Apparently, it is also a question of very difficile changes which foreigners just wouldn't notice.

All in all, I must say I'm impressed how few of us actua... *interrupts writing the post, checks new ICQ messages*

*changes plan*

Oh well, Eli speaks fine English, really!!

Seriously though Eli, you used to be worse than nowadays. And in your case, it's not about adapting to slang phrases and all, thus making Apolytoenrs believe you're good at speaking English, you have improved your style as well.

And that's what I dislike about these odes.. some of us have just become better in speaking slang, reading posts by Inf and all
But we want to be able to speak it properly, not in a Mancunian way

[Stefu]

Kantaloupe speaks English with slang quite well

Slang?

[Eli]

Lalala

[Ecthy]

Now look what he said himself, the twirp from East Europe.

Don't expect nice words of me anymore.
