Let's practise English

[Nia]

I registered hear cause I wanted to know what the english expression of my job title is.
I want to refresh my english and therefor I read english books, watch english movies. A few weeks ago I bought an english course (I don't know whether that is the right name for that or not. It's a book and 4 CD's to practice english).

Now I've got to continue working. See ya.



### Never mind correcting the text. ###

hello everybody

I'm also new at this chat and I want to introduce myself.
Well I'm a 21 years old girl from Landshut (Niederbayern) and I just finished school. My english isn't very well at the moment...
I'm willing to refresh it an learn much more than at school.
My english mark was 5- in the matriculation...
Now I have decided that I'm going to learn english...that maybe a bit funny for you but better late than never

I hope you will correct me, if I make bad mistakes...

lol are you kidding ? You really got a 5- ?
I'm asking because your english doesn't sound as bad as you described at first view. Of course I don't know the expectations on the part of the praised Bavarian school system because I don't come from Bavaria but I'm really interested why or rather how you got this mark. Could you tell me anything about the content of your matriculation exam?

[gawompel]

hi test,

yes of course. The test for the matriculation includes a summary, text production, translation and questions on the text, too.
Well I really don't know why I got this bad mark...

But it honors me very much that you can't belief it

My self-awarness in case of english is very miserable so maybe that's the reason for my worse note...
In this forum I can answer absolutly unforced and nobody has any expectations on me...so perhaps that's why I'm a little bit better than at school...

Where do you come from?

[test]

From Germany/Hessen/somewhere between Frankfurt and Gießen

Well, in this case it means that you possess the necessary language ability so that it's rather a mental problem like pressure to perform, isn't it?

Hi at all,
I am 19 years old, I am new here in this forum and I´d like to improve my English. Three month ago I got my certificate of having passed the Abitur at a German grammar school (Gymnasium) and now I am matriculated at the college of higher education in Merseburg (near Leipzig or Berlin) in business studies.

My biggest problem is the following one: When I read English newspaper articles, I have no problem to understand what´s written in the text, mostly. But if I have to write a text, e.g. a comment, I really get problems with my English vocabulary. In nearly every second sentence I have to consider whats this German word in English. In my opinion, the English grammar is easy, but I´d like to write an essay of about 2000 words and I don´t want to look up the dictionary ten times a minute
Okay, this was my first entry, I´m strained about your answers
bye

Hi!
My name is Simon and I'm almost 17 years old. I like the English language and many peolpe think that I've been raised (up) bilingually. But I haven't.
My English is pretty good, anyway. But sometimes, certain grammatical things are confusing me a bit, though.
I like having contact with others in English, even if they can speak German. By means of this, I can improve my English more and more, which is a good possibility in particular now, that I've finished school and only gonna go to the vocational school once a week.
I want to improve my English because I've always had the dream of moving to England, Ireland, Isle of Man or the USA.
Maybe there's someone, having the same opinion as I do. I would like to make contact with those.

Have a nice day-

Simon.

@friendly2004:

Hi Simon!

I like the English language too, although I'm not so good, or not as good as I want to. My problems are not only tenses but grammar in all.
I also considered about moving to an english country, but I don't feel completely confident so far. That's a BIG step.
You read English books or watch English movies? I do like those (I don't know whether this sentence is correct or not).
By the way, you're pretty young.

Read ya

Hi Nia!
I've written you 2 PNs. But they ain't in my outbox, so I'm not sure, if you have them in your inbox. If no, please let me know.

Hey! i am very pleased that there is a chance for all people particularly for students to improve their language-level. I will begin to study coming semester and i think i will go in 2-3 years abroad to accumulate experience for the future. Therefore I would like to start to prepare for it. I hope that i will find friends in this forum who could help me. Thanks

Hi,
I'm a new member in this community. So at first I want to introduce myselve to you. My name is Andreas, I'm 19 years from a little town in the beautiful east-bavaria (exactly "oberpfälzer wald").
I've just finished my apprenticeship as a office clerk (bürokaufmann). Before that, I've attended the commercial school (Wirtschaftsschule), which is simular to the middle-school (realschule). And now, I'm a student again. I'm attending the upper-technical-college (berufsoberschule) with the aim, to reach the a-level (abitur).
My English is still not perfect, but that's why I am here. I hope i can improve it and I'm looking forward to have fun and nice discussion with you.
Nice greets
Andreas
PS: The website is very interesting and very useful, not only for me I think

Hi People,

Long time I was searching for a good method to refresh or improve English. I found a great page, they are offering English courses Online and have dictionaries on one mouse click. I am studying with them for 3 month already, you can find them under http://www.cleverlearn.de, it is really cool!!
