Languages - August 2007

When I post a question, it's because I need an answer. When I give an answer, it's because I think I know.
Some people have very quick fingers and rate aswerers without even reading the question.
I don't care about points or stars, but when I ask a question, I'd like to see that the highest-rated answers are also the correct ones. Giving an answerer a low rating based on facts is jusifiable; giving a low rating based on subjective observations corrupts the rating system and makes it difficult for serious askers to find the answers they seek.

So please, ladies and gentleman, don't rate based on spelling or grammatical errors, rate on contect and intent.

Thanks for your time.

I always just translate back and forth between French and English in my head. I can't force myself into thinking my thoughts in French; I always start with English, translate to french in my head, and then speak.

Now I’m trying to learn how to write something like essay and diary in English. My English was already terrible when I decided not to study English anymore 2years ago and to study Chinese instead.
I already know some English grammars but my writing is jumbled somehow.
Does anyone know how a non-native grown-up guy can improve his writing skill?
I wish I had a native speaker mom..haha.
Non commercial suggestions please

Any good French speakers: can you please explain your use of 'on'. My teacher says it's the 'informal 'nous' ' but his explanation wasn't very clear...!

How do I know when to use it?!

Merci beaucoup.

except for 3 or 5 extra letters at the end of a Spanish word or a {a} or a {o} at the end of a word the two langue’s are nearly I identical I spoke English and learned Spanish the symmetries of the two cause me to wonder often which came first and at what point what day what minute in history did one man stand before a crowd and said today exactly is exactamente or vise versa and so on

Enrique Iglesias said he sings sometimes in Spanish because it is a more passionate language.

And traditionally, Spanish and other languages based on Latin have been tagged as 'Romance languages', probably for that alleged reason.

However, do you agree with this?

As for me, I don't. I actually think English is a much softer language.
(And by the way, my native language is Portuguese).

Is it a need to show how clever they (think they) are?

What is the point?

Have a look at this:
