>>66495576
Yes, but I don't have anyone to practice spoken english and I'm too afraid of getting bullied for my thick accent
>>
>>66495576
Sure. At least my shitposting is useful for something.
>>
>>66495576
I learned most of my English from games and the internet.
I am better than average Finnish in English but due me never learning any grammatical rules in school I have no idea where to put dots nor commas.
Basicly my vocabulary is large but I have a hard time constructing sentences.

no one does, really

>>66495686
what he mean by this
>>
>>66495576
4chan made me communicate only in shitty memes and end tb h after every sentence in English, so it pretty much made it worse
>>
>>66497618
It doesn't help that Finnish language does it completely differently than other European languages.
feels bad man

How often do you lads speak English though?

Because typing and knowing how to structure grammatically correct sentences is one thing, but when to speech a lot of people aren't that great. No offence intended.
>>
>>66501801
i would imagine most western yuropeons have chances to practice English, probably not the case in balklans/slavshit. just a guess though.
>>
>>66495576
Yes
>>66501801
I never have chance to practice verbal english
I sometimes talk to myself when I'm singing or when I'm not sure about a word's pronunciation
>>
>>66501801
>How often do you lads speak English though?
When I travel to england or america. Which was ten years ago.
>>
>>66497618
Just corrected your most, hope this helps, just some friendly criticism.

I speak it with no discernable accent, I'd probably pass for a Midwest American. I've been watching American movies since I was a kid though, I'm not by any means a representative of the general population.

t. Balkans slavshit
>>
>>66495576
Of course!!

Bulats and TOEIC have updates here

A part of exams in those tests consist in replying and reading 4chan threads
>>
>>66501801
Just when I travel abroad.

when I played tibia in the early 2000s most swedes and brs I met practiced english through that so I imagine they'd do the same here

>>66501801
I'm pretty good at it, but my accent is still there, sometimes I watch "The Graham Norton Show" and I imagine myself as one of his guests, that's how I have improved my spoken English.

Never felt so free than when I took my first bite in my American buger at a Burger restaurant which didn't belong to a chain of fastood, in an almost empty dining room on a weekday afternoon 200 meters from Time Square, NYC.

Hardly ever

Unusually, but interesting.
>>

lol I should have re read myself it's full of mistakes, but you get what I mean.
>>

It's all unintelligible, mon ami.

>>66502662

It was understandable and glorious

everything i do is in english
even when I think about whether I should take a shit at the moment or not

hi tree anon, can you answer a question for me?
my Kuwaiti friend can teach me Arabic, but from what I've read Arabic is completely different depending on what country you are from. can you confirm?
>>
>>66503573
yes
each region has a dialect that heavily drifts from arabic

For example Lebs can barely understand what someone in the gulf or NA says but anyone in the gulf can understand us easily
Easiest Arabic dialects are Levant and Egyptian
Also, Moroccans don't speak Arabic, they speak Ayy Lmao
>>
>>66503727
Would you say its worth the time/effort to learn Kuwaiti Arabic then? Would it make learning the different dialects easier down the road?
>>
>>66503809
Just learn MSA, anyone can understand you then regardless of origin
>>
>>66503866
hmm alright, it would have been nice to have someone who speaks the language teach me but i guess i can always ask questions here.
thanks anon!
