Hoping to find a place where I would fit in better. In my humble opinion, this forum is a friendlier place. The language here is difficult for me and I do not understand most of the teasing or insults to me, I think N/A is much easier on women and crazy people. and 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Overall, I feel welcome and I am learning every time I visit her.If you can be patient I will eventually catch on (I hope). If anything else learning to look up word faster. do not always pick right definition which can be funny in of itself . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another area that I know non-Americans sometimes have trouble with are idioms. I've had students who came to my college from non-English speaking countries tell me that they understood all the words but they still had no idea what people were talking about. Americans use idioms a whole lot more than most of us realize. I heard that Jim really let the crap hit the fan; I think he is going to get his just desserts. What goes around comes around. I'd put a boot in it because you two are dealing with a hot potato here and even if you're right I don't want you to let the cat out of the bag just yet. You might be barking up the wrong tree, and I hear that one of you might have a horse in the race as well. Hey, don't try to pin it on me, that dog won't hunt.

As always Mr. Snarfargle, your light lessens the shadows of ignorance. Dought I will ever understand the intricacies of your strange and difficult language. I believe it would require a stay in your country a longer time then I am willing to at this time anyway. The lessons help and I learn but slowly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

358 [YARRR] ElAurens Members 735 posts 5,955 battles Report post #18 Posted October 30, 2017 Thank you for spending time with us. I know our two languages are so very different not just in structure, not to mention you have two alphabets, I cannot imagine writing in the kangi/haragana, and thinking in that visual system, then coming in here and dealing with our printed language, and then throw in all the cultural differences, but I'm glad you do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And don't worry about understanding the American Dialect of English. It can be quite... strange. Most Americans don't even know what they're saying either.
