Start by writing it with us.

Once you are comfortable with that, go places where English is spoken.

Where are you located?

I am assuming you are not a native English speaker. My ex-wife (Polish) learned most of her English from watching American TV. That, and practice.

Edit: Q beat me by this much Wink

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

The suggestion of working on it in a forum like this is a good one.

You might consider adding something to your signature line like: "Please correct my grammar. I'm learning English". People can then offer help without worrying they will offend you.

Not sure where you live, but talk radio is an option as well.

It seems to me that any law that is not enforced and can't be enforced weakens all other laws.

Grammarly (https://www.grammarly.com/) can help. Add it to Firefox as an extension, and it will help correct many mistakes. English speakers can benefit from it, too. Smile




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Practice cursing. Those bad words are all latin based like the rest of the english language. learn those, then you will learn the rest of the non-cursing parts of the enlish language easily. And you will never forget the curse words. It's a two-for-one deal.

Are you a robot who just became sentient? Are you a recently arrived alien? I would suggest a lot of popular tv shows from the 80s.

Seems to be a trolling shill, had also earlier noticed a trend between
Mefiho and the ChristopherBaldwin ID. One would post and the other would respond. Both have broken english.

I think I'd go back a couple of decades--TV was much more polite and educated then.

Yep - pretty obvious.

Netflix. Watch an English speaking show with your native language in subtitles.

Following para’s advice to check out his posting history, I found this:

quote:
Did you see the NVB SERIES from ATN? The NVB series of night vision binocular provide one of the most adaptable and customizable night vision experiences in the world of night vision binoculars. The NVB is available in a variety of magnification levels, ranging from 3x magnification, to 8x magnification, in order to suit a wide range of needs.

Most of ATN's night vision devices feature a built in infra red illuminator to allow the viewer to see even in total darkness by creating light invisible to the human eye, but used by the illuminator to brighten its image. The NVB series of binocular is unique in having two illuminators, a built in all purpose one, as well as a detachable long range one, resulting in an increase in illumination and brightness in the device.


English looks pretty good to me. Maybe it’s copy and paste, but that still requires an advanced understanding.

Except the hosting posting.

The Binocs post is a cut and paste.
