Speak Good English

Certain people have their own styles . Even if they are bad at english , that doesnt imply that they are school drop outs . Even if they are proud of it ,...

Perhaps Asians feel intimidated when speaking to English Speaking Ang Mo but when engaged in a conversation with eastern European.....wah damn yaya man> Mr. Green The Americans find it harder to spell because of the way they phonically pronounce some words.Sorry if I had mistyped any word...I only completed my PSLE

Dormito_ger SG

Seriously, I fail to grasp the gist of your argument... Did you actually PASS your English?

udontknowme SG

liddat so easy oso kenot??? sad =(

u this kinda person kenot travel liao =( kenot meet other people oso. =(

cos some people from other countries, their english not so good. then grammar all that not the same one. plus their accent.

woooo....u been to northern ireland?? some german people accent also bery thick. plus their sentence structure isnt the same.
perfect english is no use one. esp if ur stuck on it and cannot 'understand' other types of english Rolling Eyes

I don't think you know what you're talking about... I'm commenting on the standard of English in Singapore. You're arguing about something totally different.

Speaking of the foreign countries you mentioned, the official language of Northern Ireland is Irish. English is the de facto language. In Germany, the official language is German, not English. So I don't see the comparison. In Singapore, the medium of instruction is English. Not Malay or Chinese. A normal person would have at least gone through 10 years of education in English. So I don't see why a normal person should write/speak/type in such a way.

You not only fail in logic and comprehension, you have issues with grammar, sentence structure, and most importantly, SPELLING. Somehow I overestimated your standard of English. I apologise for that. Maybe they should teach English in Mandarin, to cater for people like you.

udontknowme SG

do u live in singapore?
if you do, what kind of people do you mix around with?

just because your english is better than most people (as you'd like to assume) doesnt mean that everyone else's is bad Rolling Eyes i've lived in many different countries and i can tell you that the standard of english in singapore is considered to be pretty damn good compared to many others i've met.

and what makes you think that just because my english suxorz (according to you), my mandarin would be better? but you know what, i AM learning mandarin!! and i am being taught in english. hahaha Rolling Eyes and yes i'd love to be taught english in mandarin (and other languages) just for the experience.

you have overestimated your OWN standard of english. it's not really all that great but you know what's even worse?? your attitude and personality.

udontknowme SG

hey hun, sorry it took you sooo long to edit and add that paragraph.

but you know what, people in ireland study in english Rolling Eyes hardly anyone speaks gaelic anymore.

Dormito_ger SG

Wow, I'm impressed... you managed to type in legible English... Well done! =)

udontknowme SG

is this all you can come up with after i've typed so much Rolling Eyes

i swear, people like you are PATHETIC

dats y i learn to type liddis lor. cos of pple like u

udontknowme SG

oh. excessive ellipses annoy me Rolling Eyes

Dormito_ger SG

Typical of Singaporeans to blame others for one's own incompetence. Pathetic? Dude, I think you should step out of Singapore (Sentosa is still part of SG if you didn't know...) and see the world.

As for your comment on my reply, well, I don't see a point in advancing an argument to an illogical statement.

udontknowme SG

singaporean???

AHAHAHAHHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just cos ur one, doesnt mean im one!!!! im a citizen of...the country i'm currently living in. wanna make a guess? *gives sweet smile*
Rolling Eyes it's night here now. does that make it easier?????? oh. not USA by the way.

and i've been to places you've never even heard about before Twisted Evil

travel and see the world. AHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA. anyone who has really done that would totally see that u've obviously NOT done that. or if you have, it was a waste of your parents money. (or your own if you paid for it yourself)

mancha SG

You don't!!!

Just listen and try to understand the speaker.
You tell yourself that you will speak English better.

Dormito_ger SG

Make a guess? Jesus, how old are you? 12? Grow up kiddo. Nice try on trying to wriggle out of the issue that we were on though... =)

Been to places that I've never heard before? *Yawn* And I suppose you happen to drive an Italian supercar, live in some castle somewhere in Europe, and you've dated supermodels?

*Yawns* Isn't it past your bedtime?

Short Ninja SG

I agree with what you are saying but what should an English teacher say to a student?

udontknowme SG

nope. im a TCK. moving is part of my life. whether that is good or bad, i dunno. it's got it's pros and cons.

wriggle out of what issue? Rolling Eyes u claimed im singaporean, im telling u im not u know, this is hilarious. i wasnt even born in singapore in the first place. AHAHAHA.

i did visit a castle before though. when i was living in switzerland. but i was 7. so i don't remember much.

Daisuke-kun SG

pls lar after few years of saying singlish from young, u tink ez to break issit. some people got degree for language for language but still speak singlish. wrong issit?

mancha SG

Whoa, I see you've got nothing better to do and you're back.
Ha, Ha.
You're a typical " giah ang moh kah chng, cho bin, lang".
You made yourself an honorary ang moh and look down on your own.
My gawwwwd! you're ashamed of yourself in Oz.
A pity, you made your way down there and didn't find happiness.
If you're happy, it'll show.

And, of course, you don't see a point in advancing an argument to an illogical statement, you dill.
You're a wuss too.

FYI, there is the Aunt Agony forum that you could unload your woes, and free your mind. The concerned ones will offer helpful advise, the trolls will make your day. Laughing

Have a nice day,
cheer up! Sheila.

Dormito_ger SG

I wasn't talking to you nimwit. If I was, you'd know it...

Honorary angmoh? Ashamed of myself? Didn't find happiness? OMG, I have absolutely NO IDEA how you managed to derive that conclusion. I'm just disgusted at the way how people are lacking in some areas, and yet appear to be PROUD of it, instead of showing a want to improve. That's my main point. Yet I have no idea how some people here manage to turn it into something that's totally off the point.
