  1. I personally don't think it is a backward language as presumed rather every language is unique. There are some languages when translated is exactly as English.
  2. Yes I think google translation is good online. It helps you understand other people and helps other people understand you perfectly. With it there is no longer language barrier.
  3. Wow! Thanks for sharing. We all learn new things everyday. This is very informative.
  4. In my opinion, I think I is used when you want to deviate from a subject. I may be right or not. I still will want to also know the proper use of it.
  5. Yes I have caught some people especially reporters make these mistakes. But then what you expect especially when English is not your mother tongue. We are all learning you know!
  6. For me, my favourite book in English is the Bible and other Christian books and magazine.
  7. I hardly use 'lol' in my sentence. In my opinion, there is no using it when you're not laughing out loud. Some people use it indiscriminately.
  8. For me, titles that are inspiring, educational and motivational are what draws my attention. But then when I start reading and later find out that it deviates from what the title actually is I stop. And I think write up should always match the title.
  9. My favorite quote is in the Bible. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Wow! What an assurance. I can never be disadvantaged in this life.
  10. I believe this scripture absolutely. The word of God is truth and you cannot deny truth. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth:thy word is truth. So if the word of God says it, I believe it without questioning.
  11. Well for me, I text shortcut when relating with friends and family members. But when relating with superiors, I use full sentence. I can understand why people use shortcut; it is so that they don't exceed their one message limit. When you exceed this one message limit, you'll have to pay more.
  12. For me, the most important reason why I will learn a different language is for the purpose of relating with the people of the place where I stay. Presently I stay in a place where their language is different and I'm learning that language so that I can relate with the people better.
  13. I'm not a that fast reader nor a too slow reader. I take my time when reading because I want to understand what I'm reading and let it assimilate. If I read too fast, I may not caught the key points I need.
  14. Well I have never had such experience of dreaming about a language I'm learning. And I don't want or wish to.
  15. I enjoy reading in English and I read better in English. One book that has helped me is "rhapsody of realities".
  16. Yes English is part of the education. In fact before you get admission into the university you have to pass English. From nursery to higher institution, English is a major subject learnt, though it is not the native language.
  17. Yes English is part of the education. In fact before you get admission to go to the university, English is on of the subject you have to pass. English is a major subject from nursery to higher institution though it is not the mother tongue.
  18. I think I like the America New York English accent. Sounds key.
  19. My favorite movie is Sinach shout it out loud. I love the music in this video. It will take you out of this world.
  20. It depends on what you're discussing at the time. Lol means laugh(ing) out loud. I don't see any need using it when I'm not laughing out loud. I think it should be used in the right context.
  21. I honestly don't think that i'm ready to learn a new language again. I just want to perfect the ones i already know. And if ever i want to learn that is if i change my mind about this, the language i will learn is spanish.
  22. O no! I have never forgotten any word in my native language no matter how long i stay away from people whom i usually speak with. Anytime i get in touch with them, all the language just comes back.
  23. As a person, i don't give up on anything i set my mind to do. You know this is a winning attitude not only for learning a language but for everything in life. This has helped me achieve so much. Yes, just having this mind set.
  24. I personally don' feel comfortable doing this. To me, it seem quite distracting. I will loose concentration if i have to learn a language through music. May be there are people who can do this.
  25. Well what i do is allot specific time to learn. The truth is that things will always come up and if you don't manage your time, it may never seem enough. We all have 24hours a day, the difference between us is time management.
